I left the big city to work in a small town with an under-served population. The hospital treats me incredibly well and actually appreciates me, makes me want to do better for them. Patients are beyond appreciative, makes me want to work even harder on their behalf. Jobs like this are out there. Yes, you may make less money, fancy restaurants and "the theater" may be a drive. Cost of living tends to be lower, life is definitely better.
You nailed it in this video. Doctors would rather stay comfortable (as would most people) in their own misery, rather than to have faith, face their fears, take the leap, and experience a re-awakening in their lives. Carpe diem. Life is too short to stay in medicine just because this is what we decided we wanted to do in high school. Thank you!
Great video man. I am a family doc who practices in rural medicine in one of the sickest and poorest states in the country. It is extraordinarily satisfying work that I'm proud to get to do. It's the reason I went to medical school. I consider myself one of the lucky ones, but what I really wish is that we ALL got to consider ourselves the "lucky ones." That's what we've lost.
I'm in tears right now because every word you said is true. I'm a RN, been in healthcare since the early 80s, I can assure you my next move is out of this industry completely.
Im so glad I went back to school. I thought I wanted to be an ARNP, but once I experienced nursing research, I changed my major to nursing education.
Wow, I bet you have so much to teach. Thank you for your time, service and all you've done (and continue to do).
I’m an RN working for about 7 years. I’ve been feeling burnout/ moral injury for at least a year, but after being attacked by a patient and feeling like I might seriously get hurt or have my life be in danger, but nobody cared...they just found boxes that I didn’t tick, kept finding holes in my documentation and made me feel like I didn’t deserve time off to heal. That I needed to follow all the steps that I never made after being attacked because I was too traumatized to think properly..I’ve been feeling empty for about 6 months now.. Nursing was my passion. I like your squirrel story because when I was young, every time someone got injured I ran around the house to be the first person to give them a bandage. This system has broken my heart and my soul...We are not loved or protected, at least in the hospital setting from my experience where a nurse can be alone with 6 patients on the CCU when his/her partner goes on break...
It feels weird to say this, as it’s NOT the culture to really appreciate someone; As a hospitalist I really appreciate what you do. I get crushed everyday, with nobody, again NOBODY says a SINCERE thank you to the shit hospitalists and nurses on icu/med surg take!! Shit and suffering that makes your social life, relationships, and psyche so miserable.
I am in IT, but you saying 6 patients with only 1 nurse without his/her partner going on a break, that I could do, I could be a nurse in my next life, because I'm too old to change careers to a nurse, but I would rather do that than be stuck in this job that I have. I'm so stressed and anxious all the time, it's affecting my mental health.
Dear ZDogg
I ‘m a pediatrician working with my twin brother in Illinois. We’ve been in practice for 21 years. Initially we were in separate practices. We now have had a private practice together for over 10 years.. Large ACOs are taking over, but we’ve remained viable due to our reputation in the community. We live every moment as if we will be out of practice at any time. Local mom’s groups on Facebook praise us to no end. That’s our main source of referrals as well as existing patients.. Every year, we struggle to survive, but manage to keep on going. We’ve both obtained a license in a more physician friendly state as backup. Most likely, we won’t be able to work together if we’re forced to move. We’re both not happy amd would love a vacation once a year, but we have no other options for income.I have 3 children in college and still owe on my own student loans. I absolutely love your UA-cam channel. Just wondering what advice you have for me.
Thank you so much for this video, Z Dogg. The real world is so much different than nursing school. It seems that caring about the patient is an after thought as far as many facilities are concerned. I feel like I have just began the profession and I already want out. I want time away from the cash register EMR system and more time to interact with my patients. In a perfect world it would be nice to be "allowed" a meal or bathroom break in 12 hours too. It honestly feels like 75% of our time is done charting and then 25% of the time is spent with the patient (and that is only to throw meds at them).
I hate feeling trapped in the profession or like I am forced to stay in it in order to justify the years of schooling that I went through. It seems any nurse that goes into the job trying to feed their soul by taking care of others, just ends up losing it when being handcuffed to the corporate bureaucracy of the current healthcare system. The only word to describe this feeling is "trapped". Just trapped.
Your message transcends the health care industry. Thank you.
2nd. I’m not a healthcare worker and trying to find the elusive happiness. Burnout in my desk job Hamster wheel
Get a plan and get out. Mine started in 2015 and I was out by Oct this year. It was a long road but the light at the end of the tunnel made it possible to endure. I no longer stop in the garage for beer before going inside to my family.
Well let's not get crazy here...don't quit on beer too.
Listen, one time it was so bad...I started on the moonshine, had a stereo speaker in each ear playing "enema" at full volume. When I got to shot number 6 my hubs asked what I was doing and I replied getting drunk. He sai OK but thats 6 shots and youve only been home 45 minutes...thats about the time I knew I needed an exit plan😜😜😜
That is a clear sign, right there. Congratulations!
13 years in EMS and I've recently decided to walk away from it all. I'm walking away due to many things. My physical and mental well being the most important.
Best of luck Eva. Im about to start Paramedic school next month, any advice you'd give to your younger self before you started EMS?
I am about to graduate Paramedic school and i like to share the 5 things i wish i knew to people starting.
1: Ask questions, even if you look like a moron. Someone else may have the same question and be afraid to ask. And it could save a life someday.
2: Do not sit idle on hospital rotations, get assigned to 8,9, and 10 on north wing? F that, help out 1-10 on north wing. Get in there and ask the doc to let you do stuff.
3: Make mistakes while you are a student in your lab class! Do the stuff that makes your instructor go "WTF?"
4. Do not get an early start to cardiology or ECG/EKG!!!! They will teach you the right way!!!
5: Folding Bluetooth keyboard for your phone on field shifts. Makes documenting sooooo much easier when you can do it right in the EMS room with your preceptor!
If you end up using FISDAP make sure to document EVERYTHING you do in lab class. Hit me up later if you do end up using it.
Every day I come closer to quitting EMS without any sort of plan lol. I want out for the same reasons - physical and mental well being. I’m at the early stages of planning my exit but I’m hoping in 5 years or less I’m off the street and doing something completely different. The job is/was fun but it’s just not sustainable as a career with the way the current system is setup.
Yeah, you're right. I did that. 12 years ago. I quit my job in Sweden and moved to Italy. Started a new life. But now I'm in another vacuum caused by the pandemic. Have listened to five of your videos and they've helped. Thank you. There's no solution to my current hiatus, but they helped me understanding what is happening and why. Not many doctors have had the time, verbal capacity and the inclination to explain it all. Most newsmedia only seem to spread fear. I guess there's only one thing to do. Try to come out at the other end of this story with our mental health intact. And then see if there is a life to go on with.
So many of us are feeling that burn out. I see I'm not the only one. I come home after a bad day , also an RN for 28 years, feeling empty, exhausted, beaten down, no passion left in me. Your videos and all the comments really shed so much light on this topic. I love your honest emotion and the way you talk to the camera like you're talking to your best friends. I feel it! I even cry😢 I would love to meet you some day. I hope to find my happy place soon. Thank you for all your brutal honesty.
Lots of love to you and everyone here. I was in the ED as an EMT RN the NP for 15 years. The hospital was a POS our staffing agency were thieves, I hated patients and honestly wasn't at my peak. Then one day my wife and I, in the middle of the pandemic, dropped it all moved 14 hours away and an amazing job found me. It was terrifying but you can get out. It might not be greener on the other side but you can always keep looking until you find your fit. I love my pts again and truly enjoy what I'm doing now.
Nurses he’s talking to u too. Listen closely and give it deep thought. I walked away from the system 12 years ago to do what I was trained for not what the system demands. Miss my ER days but so glad I traded it for my hearts passion.
You need to go on Joe Rogan
DEFINITELY.
Perfectly expressed!!! So many of us have been living under that weight now for far too long!! It will take a LARGE MAJORITY of us walking away from these corrupt corporations to turn this "ship of fools" around and re-energize medical care in the USA in an ethical and caring fashion....... THANK YOU!!!
Heartbreakingly true! I am in the middle of my burnout journey. Thank you for being a voice for us!
That's exactly how I feel about nursing after 41 years. Well done.
This is how I feel after ONE year in....
I'm old school as well. 31 years.
Wow...I'm a PA of 11 years and this spoke to my soul...I used to enjoy practicing now I am so unhappy I don't even have the words...thank you for this 🙏🏽
A veterinary surgeon here. I left clinical practice in 2011 and it was the best decision of my life.
No matter your job title or how cool it looks on paper, cut your losses and stop doing something that makes you miserable. It doesn't matter who you disappoint. You have to look for number one because if you don't, noboby else will do it for you!
Dr. Z. I’m a third year medical student. Thank you so much for these words of wisdom and guidance
Wow. Never heard a doctor admit this. I feel what you say. Everything you say. Not even wanting to go on just cause work is killing me and feeling the system fail patients and staff. 20 years as an RN. Thank you for telling it like it is.
Currently a first year medical student and I am definitely nervous and terrified about how the future of healthcare is going to look like. I just want my own autonomy as a future doctor and to be able to actually treat the actual patient, the person, not just symptoms. Love your videos Dr. Z! Inspiring me everyday to fight back against the system.
ZDoggMD!! You got me all choked up!! I left corporate big insurance nursing 4 years ago. Best decision ever. Still have the student debt, but I’d have it wether I’m happy or a corporate schlep.
Timely and pertinent. Thank you @ZDoggMD ! I had to look at the system and make that hard choice this year. I’ve been an RN 32 years. Working from within the system wasn’t working. I felt and feel that sense of “leaving people behind “, knowing how few people are really looking out for them. There are exceptions...stellar professionals... but, the rule is more likely than the exception. I want to continue to help change that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! And on the literal eve of my new life, I’ve never needed to hear these words as much as I did now!!! Here’s to taking the risk and following your heart and soul. 🥂
Best wishes, Rachel! I am, also.
Me too! I'm leaving Pediatric/picu acute care to take a hospice position. ❤️
How's your new life a year later?
Wow! That’s exactly what I did. I became per diem though. I’ve been a nurse more than 10 years now here in Los Angeles and it has changed drastically. It got so bad that I was thinking about suicide. I thought if this is life, its slavery and I don’t want it anymore. So at one point I said “I’ve had it. Enough is enough”. I was making tons of money and sure I was buying stuff but I realized It doesn’t make me happy. So I gave up the money. Sure I have to save a little more to buy stuff now but I’m happier. Now I could enjoy the simple stuff Iike nature. Just waking up in the morning and seeing the sun gleaming across the clouds. It puts a smile on my face everyday.
I’m writing this because now I know it’s not just me of how I feel in the hospital. I want people to see that something has to change.
I thought it was just my hospital but it’s not. It’s happening to other hospitals in the area too. If u look at it, it doesn’t add up. We’re more focused on saving money than saving patients. I’m still trying to quit the hospital for good. Half way there now
This is like me talking, but the only difference is, I'm in IT. Sometimes I ask myself what's the point of having this life, having a good paying job, when I'm stressed all the time and not sleeping too much because of work pressure? Sure I can buy stuff, I drive a nice car, but at the end of the day, I see them as useless material things coz I can't take them with me when I die. Sometimes I'm praying that I'll have cancer instead, so I can plan my end and make my last will. I can't remember the day that I slept for more than 4 hours straight. It doesn't help when you have douchebag colleagues at work who acts and thinks like they don't care about lending a hand and looking down at others.
Sometimes the hospital doctor will look at you (patient), when you ask a question, with an expression that says " Did it just say something".
John Burman When I responded to a question from my doctor his PA literally said “ he wasn’t asking you.” ( imagine a dismissive tone” 🤨🤬
This made me cry! And I don’t cry. I felt your feelings in this video. It hit me hard! You are a true renegade with integrity! Very refreshing to hear someone like you speak your truth! I don’t even know you and I’m proud of your strength 🙏🏼💪🏼💯
Thank you I have been an ED nurse since 1993 and a nurse since 1987... I could not agree more with you!! You could not be more correct... Happy Holidays...thank you for all you do for us in the trenches... you bring smiles and knowledge...
I'm not in the medical field, but I'm in the procesd of changing my life for the better. I shut down my business because I hated the industry, and now I'm pursuing my lifelong dream. It's terrifying, but I know it's going to be worth it. Thank you for encouraging me to keep going.
What is your lifelong dream James Gifford?
Inpatient Coding Specialist here...6 years in and I'm getting to that point myself. Every day feels like a lesson in futility (and frustration). I'd be happier and more satisfied mucking stalls at a horse barn, but my mortgage wouldn't permit it. I'm glad you found something that works for you and saved you from the burnout. Love your work!
THANK YOU for this honest talk!!!!! This applies to EVERY professional - regardless of what you're made for. The planet needs authenticity and integrity in every job. We dont need more half assed, compromising, money-grubbing people who just dont give a shit about human lives.
Shared it! Thanks for putting a name to our pain 💚 as always, doc!
More Doctors like you and we’d have a country full of healthy people. Well done, sir.
Very genuine. I'm at therapist and the same has largely happened in mental health.
Hello, I love your videos.
Been in the medical field for 8 years now, and I’m currently going through what you were explaining “you don’t feel anything anymore.” That feeling is one of the worst feelings.
I’m taking your advice and leaving it. But first I gotta find it my purpose
I’m just grateful you’re still out there taking the risks you take to fight for our beautiful profession! You are an inspiration because you not only speak for us but you continue to remind me that in staying silent and allowing this system to control our pt care we are just as guilty. Thanks for reminding me that caring for my fellow man comes first no matter what! Stay strong and fight on good man! And thank your family for being so supportive!
I love how you speak the truth. May you continue to enlighten others.
You “pulled a fast one” because you have courage, esp the courage of your convictions. A lot of docs don’t have courage. They have been too cottled and have never stepped out of the world of institution. Ever. Their innate intelligence and joy has been often been coopted. You are not ordinary.
I keep coming back to this video. It is by far my favorite. I love that you're brutally honest and share how you were in a safe, secure, professional job and still not happy. I cry every time I watch this😢 I finally have my resignation. No plans yet. I just know whatever I do I will be happier. Thanks zdogg for all your videos.
I am an RN and leaving 31 years in peds/PICU for an inpatient hospice position. ❤️❤️
Huge fan of yours Z. I think you're the spark we need to held end the healthcare debate. Everyone is busy manning the ship - not many are actually paying attention to where we are headed.
I feel there must be a way and opportunity to mobilize the conversation you have started. The only way meaningful change will occur is if we mobilize the sentiment for pragmatic change.
Would be so humbled to connect with you. You as a guest on my podcast would be amazing!
I was a nurse for 7 years, NP for 3. Left the industry a year ago. Still figuring things out but I am a totally different and happier person now. It's hard but worth it.
Nicole, what are you doing now?
Hear, hear. The nursing home does this to staff as well. My best friend and I have made the decision to go back to school. We love our residents. We are good and caring workers, but our facilities have drained us. We are working with agencies, because we still care.
It’s scary to let go of what you have in hopes of something better
Thank you!!!!! I needed to hear this today.
The direct payment primary care model. Monthly membership private practice. That’s the way to get out but still practice.
So very very true. Thank God I am one of the few self employed doctors left. My patients are my boss!!!!! The hospital has tried many times to destroy this.
Thank you for giving hope to many
Yeah, all of Mr. Dogg's advice is applicable to most academic disciplines. Very good stuff. It's because reality isn't biased.
I can literally relate EVERYTHING you are saying to being a teacher. :(
So well expressed!! This is It!!
One administrator disliked this
Is the old-fashioned concept of a private practice out of the question? Where a doctor is self employed and can set his or her own schedule and fees? Maybe with a partner or two? The last physician who actually practiced the art of medicine on me was in private practice, and he had the freedom to take the extra minutes to distract me with conversation and retake my blood pressure to diagnose white-coating. He told me not to let another doctor tell me I had high blood pressure. Unfortunately, subsewuent doctors had neither the time nor the skill, and I've ended up on meds that probably do more harm than good.
Even more unfortunately, this wonderful doctor closed his practice to work for a corporate clinic in order to have more time for his family. I wonder how that went for him. I know I would be willing to pay out of pocket to have that kind of interaction with my primary physician.
My doctor actually did this. We have had a personal and professional relationship since my early twenties when he was a new baby doc. I told him he looked like Doogie Howser lol. He eventually left his practice for a while to work for a private company as their company doc. Maybe four years ago he came back into town and opened a concierge/ fee-for-service practice. I pay a $65 monthly membership fee that covers as many appointments as I may need. Right now I don't need that many maybe two or three/year. My prescriptions, my lab work - everything - is priced logically and so much cheaper than before. I can actually ask "how much is _____ ?" and he knows the answer. It's beautiful. I still carry health insurance through my employer for hospitalization and specialized care but I'm happy to be part of what I see as medicine the way it was intended for an additional nominal fee. His practice is full and occasionally he is able to open it up to new patients. We need more like him!
This is the Key
Docs sold out to corporate masters and they are too weak to walk away and start businesses.
Karthik, maybe so, but have you been in the shoes of a doctor to know how hard it is to resist getting sucked into being an employed physician? Do you have 500k in debt at the age of 30 something? Doubt it, unless you are a physician yourself. This is not debt that can be wiped away with a bankruptcy either. It is with you for life and affects your family if you screw up. The onus of this f'ed up situation isn't entirely on doctors alone, it is also on the blood suckers that have taken advantage of the naivete and idealism of young people who would be doctors.
Compliments for taking a position and for advocating for all those who can to take one .
I agree! SO burnt out on bedside nursing! I just Completed my Masters degree to become a family nurse practitioner. I feel that I can be more effective in that role.
I left! Got out with my integrity and self respect. Humanity has been lost in healthcare. I refuse to be a technician for the system; I am a physician. And to all those clinical administrators those physicians who go to the other side for only one reason....money and authority you have achieved nothing but the diminution of the profession.
Look at the activity directors and the social services directors work here too. I knew every family, Grand child I took care of most the grandkids in a preschool. But I got to take care of the older ones to which was really cool.
Healthcare is a war on suffering. There is one goal, protect your patient, which is difficult because healthcare is a dark place. It is those that rage against the difficult and create the light that bring all good things in the world. I would do it for you- do it for me. Rage on ZDogg
The staff at the Kaiser near me is stressed and overbooked. My oncologist saw a new patient every day. This is wrong. I'm sending this out to the staff that's kept me alive for 5 very hard years. They need help. Kaiser LaPalma Anaheim . They are the best people.
I do not have the ability to cut the financial ties as you did. I appreciate what you are saying, every word rings true. Sadly I cannot stop working.
28 years of specialty solo practice, constant board recertification, computerized medical records from the start, never electronic medical records, busy practice, forced out for failure to participate in electronic medical records, indirectly used by hospitals to satisfy credentialing. Quit a year ago, now 60. Never been happier, healthier, or more informed. The choice is yours..
I feel like my PCP is totally burned out and just turns the crank.
Mine won't even return calls - so fed up.
mine cares less and less... I was starting to do better, but now I'm in decline again, and neither of us cares.
Same here. It seems like he could be dead inside. That's so sad and discouraging.
I think that applies to virtually any career.
Thanks! WOW! I never saw this until now 🔥 This is EXACTLY where I am right now. I've considered leaving nursing but I love caring for people and giving them my time. And that's what I do, but then I take work home and my family doesn't get my time. I'm a button-pressing monkey 🐒 in an assembly line. I would love to find meaningful work in NH. Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated 😊 thanks again for being you, Z!🙏
Thx Anne 🙏
Wise words for any of life's endeavors.
Somehow I made it to 63 RN at same hospital bay area also. I knew I had to leave even tho I loved nursing but the system made me into an uncaring robot. I had no empathy or sympathy what so ever for my patients for several months and then gave a 2 week notice and left. The entire hospital was like a cage of animals.
Doesn't most work make us into robots? Even nice "white-collar" work. Amazon's treating it's people like literal robots.
@@thedudeabides3930 Yes I agree about making us into robots at corporations like Amazon but the difference here is that hospitals deal with human people suffering, needing help, and many of whom are unable to make their needs met. Many can't even feed themselves. Or need attention because they are drowning in their secretions and it is impossible for the staff to get to them at times. It's about people being helpless and not cared for. You may be a robot at a desk but you are not lying in a pool of urine, in pain, basically naked.
unfortunately very hard for many to walk away when chained down by loans rather than golden handcuffs...
I walked away (well, shoved out is a better description) after 25 years as a nurse. After a flawless 20 year career with the same hospital, I was pitched to the wolves after being injured in a car accident. Didn't matter I was an innocent person, 0% at fault. Simply put, I cost my 'self insured' employer $. It didn't matter that I had created my own position and saved them $2.5M, in 10 quarters. (It was 6 times more than my total hospital bill.)
I wait patiently for the day their healthcare 2.0 platform crumbles and dissolves. And it will. I saw what was going to happen to me, after I came back from my injury. I refused to train anyone, citing primal knowledge.
Four doctors in my family have dwindled down to 2. They can't wait to retire.
I'm grateful I lived well below my means, as it afforded me the ability to abandon working for a heartless medical system and create my own non-medical business with my daughter. This will be her inheritance. Although my unexpected journey was hard, painful, and unfair, it also led me to a more joyful and happier life. Trust me, the stress of owning your own business is so much less than having to work for 'bottom line' jerks.
Sorry to hear it.
This isn't advice for doctors. This is advice for all of you.
The ends will never justify the means. The "means" is your life.
Keep it up man!
That was awesome... good talk doc.
PREACH
Yep, find what you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life again! It's unfortunate that genuine caring has been ripped out from under our feet on many levels.
This Doctor really needs to do a podcast or interview with Dr.Jack Kruse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks ZDogg.
This is why I went to travel nursing. I was trapped in a job that did not pay well, didn't get enough time off and didn't get breaks during my 12 hour shifts. They burned me out. So am currently a travel nurse working in California. I own a home in Florida no mortgage and will be completely debt free with lots of $$$ in the bank by April. I will take three months off after. I will spend time with family and also work on some upgrades on my home. I love traveling and learn lots of new stuff at different hospitals which makes me a better nurse. I am treated well in California. I get my breaks during my 12 hour shift which is huge to me. So far I am treated better then in Florida where I worked for 25 years. I also want to get more certification in holistic health. Possibly in paleo autoimmune protocol and yoga. I am a labor and delivery nurse ❤
I also struggle with autoimmune issues so having the ability to work when I want and low stress is important to me. I also am saving for retirement and planning what kind of work I can do after 10 years. I think a health coach would be cool. Maybe write a book lol. Freedom to do what I want.
What do you think about vaccine mandates in California? Infants in ICU have to be given vaccines as long as they are in the hospital,,, It is absurd. Has it ever occurred to you that a lot of auto-immune conditions could be linked to vaccines?
@@bradcampbell5766 Vaccine save lives. Before vaccines lots of children died. I am more concerned about pesticides, roundup, toxins produced in lots of products. Perfumes and flame retardants are toxic. Babies are born with lots of toxins. Research the cord blood studies. We destroy our guts with roundup and antibiotics. Autism is genetic and toxic mix. We feed tons of antibiotics to factory farm animals. American's have less beneficial bacteria in our guts. We have less vitamins and minerals in our food. We strip the land and use pesticides to grow food. Even organic crops have pesticides in them. It's in our water and air. DDT was still found in cord blood even though it was outlawed a long time ago. It is still in my body. I am well aware of high cancer rates in our country. We also consume lots if sugar which is way worse then eating fat. Eat sugar and high fructose corn syrup causes obesity, diabetes, fatty livers, cancer, heart disease and severe inflammation. These are more important to me then worrying about vaccinations. As far as my autoimmune. I had had genetic testing and have all the Gene's for Celiacs and mthfr 1298/677. I gave celia's and hashimoto's. I also was sick at birth and received antibiotics which didn't help gut.
@@lori5946 Check out Dr. Shanhong Lu. She got me using Orenda products. She is an MD in Mt. Shasta. As an MD she had hashimoto's until one of her patients turned her life around. Ironic, Huh? LOL I know her personally. I do think that you need to study vaccines more.
@@bradcampbell5766 I take no RX meds for my hashimoto's or for anything. It is managed by diet and supplements. I no longer have high Blood pressure, asthma or pre diabetic.
I'm not crying... you're crying... Where are these people hiding? I am finishing my NP and I NEED to find these people in my area. All I want to do is help people and I will work for whoever will let me do that with the least amount of barriers.
well said
How'd you do it? You made the "Re-Admission" video. Mic drop.
Nice chat.
Beautiful.
Where are these places Dr. Z???!!! How do we find them?
or stay and fight for what is right - dont walk away if you think you actually have something good inside to offer your patients - stay and do THAT until they kick you out - document EVERYTHING - after you get fired, WRITE THE BOOK. sit down and write up what the "system" would look like if you could make it into something you could be proud of. find the others that feel the same as you about what the system should be - I think it has to be most of you. I was imprisoned in the hospital system for months and months as a healthy up on my feet person trying to save the life of my daughter who got stuck in that toilet (sorry) - i just could NOT pull her out cause i had no idea there were 20 people constantly flushing in the background. It's only after my daughter's death when i started reading the records that i can now look back and remember the faces of these people doing the flushing (there were definitely those that didnt care) but many, many looked frightened and sad and wished they were elsewhere. Remember what Goethe said "be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid."
but FIRST you must forgive yourselves for any and all and just start TODAY doing the right thing - it's enough. It's all any of us can do AND it might be the most powerful force on earth. And just think of the Brightside, the same greed forces that are fueling this nightmare are also never going to stop manufacturing a bunch of useless crap especially all those drugs we don't actually need and global warming will only escalate - so the debt becomes a moot point and the non-existent fully funded retirement plan is a carrot nobody needs either. Once you look at where we are really at - all that is left is living in this moment, finding a truth to commit to that you can actually live with in the peace of knowing you are a moral person today whatever the cost, while spending the next 10 years connecting from the heart with every human you might be blessed to interact with if even just for the moment until the water rises over our heads.
If you need help being brave - just search for those leaders out there that are standing up right now, there are many, as examples of how to be fearless under pressure. Watch the documentary that just came out "For Sama" about a young couple who stayed behind in Syria to man a makeshift hospital for those that couldn't escape. Watch the movie Churchill, where everyone is against him and all his men, 30k I think, are stuck at Dunkirk and gonna die but he hollers out to the masses, average citizens, and everyone gets in their privates boats to save the English soldiers - it's an unbelievable story and why Hitler was defeated. I think if you guys simply stand up where you're at you too might see the masses come to your aid. Now's the time.
No matter what happened yesterday, you all have this amazing opportunity to do something really HUGE with your lives by staying and fighting and not leaving one man behind and alone imprisoned in a bed in that awful wide awake nightmare with the lights turned off and the doors closed on their faces...don't leave any man behind!
Thank you so much for this. Need to really examine how I can get out of this rat race.
It's not golden handcuffs when student loans are taking your entire paycheck. There are real barriers. Most of us would be dead in less than a year.
It's scary how much you know. I was literally that 8 year old kid trying to do CPR on a dying baby bunny at 3am.
As an MD you're not a chemist you have to rely on the study of others in other words we can be just as legitimate and giving advice in areas of chemistry provided we do the same amount of research. I think this should be a very important disclaimer amongst doctors who are pushing products on consumers or patients in ways that presumes that they are an authority in Biochemistry, which is simply not the case unless they are and therefore if that's the case they should disclose that. In other words what I'm saying is that you are not a chemist you should disclose it especially when bringing up the subject matter that attempts to influence people to receive intravenously chemicals and other potentially harmful substances. Simply put regular MDS or not biochemist are not authorities therefore could be liable for making recommendations that exceeds their qualifications. That is in the event a civil law case was to arise from their advice.
The workers delivering care are being stretched to their mental and physical limits. How to pay for it is not by biggest worry. Whole system of care delivery needs an overhaul or we are screwed.
hello there
Capitalism is great & all... but there are some things that should not be under the control of profit-driven private enterprise. Healthcare is one, but many public services (transport) & utilities are part of that. The problem is that people have this aversion to paying taxes - particularly the most wealthy - so of course the money available for these things disappears, leaving a hole to be filled by wealthy 'patrons' or private enterprise with their own agendas; or in the case of no adequate minimum wage, the requirement to pay 'tips' which is just obscene. USA is broken but unfortunately many countries still look to the USA as an example of what to do, when we should all be looking elsewhere.
We laud the wealthy patrons & philanthropists for their wonderful contributions, but if they’d simply just paid a fair amount of tax throughout their lives, the distribution of wealth would be even fairer... but it’s often about their egos & legacy. Would they donate if it had to be anonymous I wonder...?
What do you think of these children's cancer hospitals that "survive" on donations. Is there potential corruption there that is hidden by their slick advertising that puts the children in their marketing for their fundraising efforts? A few people at the top are getting wealthy while the treatment procedures have questionable merit.
@@bradcampbell5766 Oh, I think it's obscene. CEOs, executives, shareholders all come before staff... and patients are always last. Not sure how you unscramble that egg...
All true, and thank you, but truly a symptom of a larger issue. I'm tempted to edit this video and simply substitute so many professions for the word 'doctor' - teacher, writer, lawyer, artist, caregiver - the list goes on. At some point, we decided as a society, at least here in this country, that things only have value if they are quantifiable. That is a grave mistake. Couple that with a doctrine (in-step with obscenely unbridled marketing efforts, including to young children and B to C from Big Pharma) that suggests you can 'fill the hole' with more, more more, add a dash of isolation in a supposedly connected world, and you get the highest suicide rates, drug and alcohol abuse rates, and explosive venting of pressure via rage (and gun) fueled violence in history. The overall trajectory if terrifying - especially if you are, as I am, a parent. The reality at this stage is that all of us feel that way, but our efforts to change this are fragmented at best, and thus made ineffective by time, distance, fear of speaking the truth, and fear for our own jobs. As I wrote in my most recent book, Cogh and The Machine, we are all now in a position of treading water with our lives, especially in terms of financial stability, and if we raise a hand to protest, and to speak the truth we know must be spoken, we go under. That said, there is hope when one does speak out, so again thank you for this video.
Its crazy burnout bro, you just stopping caring at some point.
😍
And in other news, all of the hospitalists in the nation quit after realizing that their jobs suck....
"It turned a beautiful healing tradition that turned into a commodity." We are slaves to this current system but the system has proven to be effective in saving lives over the past 100 years. Before this, "the healing tradition" was a whole lot of hocus pocus and magic wand waving. Yeah that sort of priestly thing led to the ego boost of a healer and made people "feel" better but it certainly did not have a positive effect in life outcomes. If we treat medicine like science versus the art, we are going to succumb to the pain that science entails. Science isn't fun because truth isn't fun. You can't have it both ways though. You can't puff your authoritarian chest with the white coat and stethoscope (which from a data driven "science" standpoint is a fomite and an archaic relic, respectively) and at the same time always claim that we that are unbiased and let the data inform our decisions.
The reality is that you can't put your eggs in one basket. Don't let your identity be dictated by your paycheck. It's a job so take pride and do a good ass job but don't be played by the system. Cuz yeah, just cuz everyone appears healthier and the data suggests that, the reality of our modern times suggests that is not the case.

Why do doctors and nurses hate their job?
MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION
Because you give every piece of your heart and soul to the system but don’t get anything back in return.
If they got off the social media and ponies up to own their own practice, they would be happy.
A doctor that couldn't see a future. Sorry, can't feel bad for you.
