honestly you probably shouldn't go into the medical profession if you aren't prepared to treat patients with dignity and respect - even if your job exploits you, even if your bosses suck, even if you're exhausted.
yes, you are allowed to have feelings and be tired. but you have to be willing and able to either admit when you can't do something (and take the consequences), or put how you feel aside and do your job. for the sake of your patient.
you and your job may be harmed by the medical industrial complex's wrongness, but to your patients, you are part of the complex that is also gravely failing them. you have the power to be a force of goodwill and care, or an instrument of oppression.
that is what you're signing up for when you become a medical professional. don't like it? don't become a medical professional.

As someone who used to work at a nursing home, I'm getting really tired of nursing staff turning to each other and going, "if I ever end up like THAT, just fucking kill me" like motherfucker the quality of life of these residents is your SOLE responsibility and if they're not living their best lives that is YOUR FAULT.
These residents are here because this is their best option. They're here because if they weren't, their quality of life would be worse.
These residents make friends with their roommates, the people they eat with, and the people who go to activities with them.
A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to walk.
A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by their ability to breathe without oxygen.
A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they're on a feeding tube.
A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by level of continence.
A disabled elder's quality of life is not measured by whether or not they can chew their food.
A disabled elder's quality of life is entirely measured on whether or not their needs are met.
If their quality of life is worse at a nursing home than it would be if they had just stayed home, then their needs are not being met. If you are not meeting their needs, that is YOUR FAULT and you have FAILED your residents as a medical professional.

In a Canadian first, the provincial government has implemented nurse-to-patient ratios for six health-care settings in acute care facilities in B.C.
Examples include most adult medical and surgical units, where the ratio will be one nurse to every four patients, and high-acuity units where it will be one nurse to two patients.
In addition, the province announced it is investing $237 million to help retain nurses and recruit more nurses. According to the province, 6,567 nurses were newly registered in B.C. in 2023.

Male nurses in general are so much nicer than female nurses. I was screaming and wailing for hours from pain and I was met with indifference or annoyance from the ladies in the ER. The only person who gave a shit was this dude named Mark who was so so sweet to me. I understand that nurses have burnout but I cannot comprehend ignoring someone who is screaming in agony.

A Pioneering Nurse - Mary Eliza Mahoney
Mary Eliza Mahoney was a pioneering nurse and the first African American woman to earn a nursing license in the United States. Born on May 7, 1845, in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Mahoney broke through racial and gender barriers to become a trailblazer in the nursing profession.
Tumblr media
Mahoney grew up in a time when nursing was considered a low-status profession, and women of color were largely excluded from formal education. In 1879, she graduated from the New England Hospital for Women and Children Training School for Nurses, becoming the first African American woman to earn a nursing license.
In 1908, the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses (NACGN) was founded to support and advocate for black nurses across the country.
