In short go spend a 12 hour shift in the ER and experience it. When an old man is pronounced dead in front of you what a doctor does takes on a whole new meaning. Until one experiences what goes on in the ER they have very little room to comment. George Clooney getting banged on a gurney is not how it is.  |
Which was not my intended point in any way. I wouldn't do their job for the world - couldn't, in fact. But I would dearly like to be able to get medical advice when something goes amiss. I
could respond by saying that those entering the profession know what is ahead of them before deciding on that career. But, of course, I won't.
@mookiemookie Thank you. But again, wasn't my intention (to receive sympathy). There are a lot worse-off people around than us.
