@rodoskouianmd: We dreamed about getting into healthcare. Now we dream about getting enough sleep. 😂 Somewhere between the long shifts, responsibilities, and constant thinking, having a calm nervous system became the new definition of luxury. Still wouldn’t trade the journey though. ❤️ #DoctorLife #HealthcareWorkers #HospitalLife #MedicalHumor #rodoskouian
Amen. 14 years as a trauma surgeon. Love my job, love my patients. But my dream now isn’t a 40 page CV, publications, national conference presentations, or awards. My dream is a quiet life with my family and my dogs. I want the noise and the ghosts to be silent. I want sanctuary.

I don’t think it’s the work itself. It’s the systems we’re up against just to do what we love.

Spent my entire adulthood in healthcare , I’ve known nothing else . Now at 60 years old I’m wanting to explore what it feels like to be free at 10:00 am on a random weekday .

20 years bedside critical care RN. Accepted this year that what we do will never be enough, for administration, for the public, for the families that degrade us because they can. I’m so tired.

Thats why I live a very simple life as an xray tech. I work three days a week & have 4 ays off, and the rest is my sanctuary. I often use 8 hours PTO to give me five days off. Simple old car, simple apt, simple things.
