Not just doctors or nurses..I’m asking if there’s any HCPs on here that can explain how you are feeling right now?
I always wanted to be a doctor when I was very young, but my grades didn’t make the cut and I ended up choosing an entirely different career that in no way relates to healthcare.
It’s always niggled at the back of my mind that I never achieved “my dream” but I took content in the fact that that I do love my existing role.
I must say though - at the risk of sounding incredibly selfish and offensive - that I am so glad/appreciative that I didn’t go down the healthcare route now.
And I really feel for those frontline staff battling with CV on a daily basis esp with the lack of PPE, and those who are risking their loved ones lives due to the constant exposure or having to make drastic but necessary changes such as living apart etc.
Yes I know, I or a loved one may very well need one of these selfless HCPs but I am equally glad that I am not in your position (as bad as that sounds).
When does it all end, right?
I applaud and salute each and every one of you.
And Thank you
