I love the attitudes here. While I am paid decently, I make a lot less than you would expect. I am on the front lines and take care of all diseases, regardless of whether the patient can pay or not. HOWEVER - I draw the line at needlessly exposing my youngster to a fatal illness. I will send her to other family members through the incubation period if we get an Ebola patient in my facility
I cannot expect underpaid and overworked RN’s some in their mid 20’s with young children to put their children at risk to care for someone with a highly fatal highly infectious disease. I’d like to see a couple of you armchair quarterbacks take care of an Ebola patient then go home to young children. The attitude around here disgusts me.
Its really easy to tell others to go grab the tiger by the tail when you are sitting in your living room with the only risk to your health being carpal tunnel syndrome as you type your diatribes.
Ping to # 63. I know you appreciate nurses and CNA’s Anyone else willing to defend the men and women who work hard in a hospital 12 hours a day cleaning up barf and puke, providing compassion when they are exhausted and putting up with self righteous jerks who don’t think they do enough?
well good, lady. Look, if you are infectious, don’t go home. You signed up for this. Deal with it.
Yeah, I am in courthouses all the time dealing with people trying to skewer one another, but hey, I signed up for it. You signed up for this. Do it.
I am in awe of what you and other medical professionals do every single day.
And I sincerely thank you!
