You have an incredible gift to put into words what we are all feeling. I am near the end of my career and I am confident that I can do anything for a few more years. I fear for my son (an intern in emergency medicine) and all of my younger colleagues. This has to get better. Thanks for brining it to light in such an eloquent manner. However bad it is I still fell blessed that I am able to earn a living helping people.

Without enough nursing staff the beds aren’t available. I would have to argue that point. We went from a 12 bed ICU to 30 at the height of Covid and did not have near enough staff! Hence the shortage of nurses we have now. We were told do the best you can we have no one else. That’s why a lot of nurses are retiring early. Sad but true!
