Find a different way of making a living.
After ten hours worked into an eight hour shift you realize that everything you've done has been half assed.
Half ass patient care, half ass documentation, no ass time for lunch.
Damn it !!
No one listens! No one cares! WTF is wrong with these people ???
Don't they know that one day soon it will be them being put at risk of health and safety in the name of higher profits ??

Sorry for the rant but something has got to give before I freakin twist off.

It wouldn't matter if you did change professions, it's the same everywhere. No work ethic, people just want to do the minimum to get their check and go home, businesses consider everyone expendable, there is no loyalty either way. Remember, you work to live, you don't live to work.

Thanks Jimmy for the moral support. I know your right, but it hurts my soul knowing there are people at risk. I feel more like an accomplice to a murder than a life saver.
I've had lots of BS jobs that sent me home angry.
But when you go home in tears ??

I feel your pain, sans. I dropped out of working for others a long time ago, but that certainly didn't reduce any of the hassles. In some ways, it INCREASED them. But at least I can walk anytime I wanna!

At least you care.

Without you, the hospital policies remain the same, only with people who MAY NOT care, implementing them. At least they have the added bonus of... YOU!

And always remember that, however much we ourselves are suffering... someone out there, has a life that would put the word "suffering" to shame, when applied to ourselves.

Remember the song I wrote for Taylor? The 6 year old that died of brain cancer? I still get messages from her relatives EVERY YEAR, telling me how much that song meant to them, and still does. Like a little piece of her, stays alive, inside the song!

Recently, I had some people who found me on Facebook, from DECADES ago, and they tell me how much I meant to their lives, and that they had never forgotten me, and they are putting their thoughts and prayers toward me, cause... "If anyone deserves success Craig... you do!"

I feel so "tired" of what life has done to me, though I tried to keep a good heart through all of it, that I literally pray sometimes, that I wouldn't mind getting hit by a truck... God... just let me get out of here... I've suffered enough... I've sacrificed for other people enough... I've lived 5 people's lifetimes... I'm ready to get out of here God!!!

Then... I remind myself, of what I am telling you!

And I look around me, and every once in a while, I see someone like Celticpiping, who is adopting two brothers from Haiti, who have went through a nightmarish disaster, and I remember there are people like you, who care about the patients they work with, and people like Chippy, who has left us for the third time it seems, and needs some counseling for his emotional problems ... but has a kind heart.

There are some bright spots of light, still shining in this darkening world, but only so many.

And... THAT is why, you have to persevere and find HOPE once again!

Because you are NEEDED, and it is becoming RARER to find those souls who are willing to fulfill other's needs, even when it hurts.

When your emotions are running high thats a great time to do one of two things!

1) Take it out on your guitar
2) Write music
3) Get drunk You will wake up with a hangover and forget about what it was that had you so pissed off!

True words of wisdom!

I really appreciate the support brothers.
I am really a selfish person. But I believe there is a right and a wrong way to conduct ones self or business.
Been out looking for something different.
Maybe I can get back to a gun shop or something.

I hear you Craig:
I have to consider my limited sanity though. My family are important too, not just my patients. There is a fine line between being a protector of my patients and an enabler for the wrong doing.
My heart says I've crossed that line.

Cleaning house for the wife today.
Take out my aggression and pain on my guitar and my jujitsu partner later.
Then the beer.

Sounds like a plan.

Sometimes the people that need you most are right in front of you.
My wife is a three time cancer survivor with a spinal implant, radiation enteritis, bacterial overgrowth and two new hips to name just a few. She needs me and I am there for her. She lights me up like the northern star when I am with her. As long as she is with me the rest of the world takes a back seat.

AMEN !!

George Im just glad to know that there are people like you in your profession who give a hoot about the patients.

Knowing that should be enough to know that you where you need to be.

Have a Great Day and Keep Rockin!

Sounds like love!

it seems like this "contempt" for employees and 'customers' alike is a common, and disturbing trend among american business.

Mostly I see it tenfold in companies that are run by stock-holders.

So far, I'm at the 2nd job in my life that was once private owned, then sold to a conglomerate. In both cases, the job, environment, pay, benefits, etc.. ALL went into the toilet.

Once again, I find myself looking for a new job, this one SUCKS. Shame. I used to like it A LOT.

Sans,

I've read some things from sources I trust, and the economy is going to get worse, before it gets better... way worse!

Also, my step son had a dream recently, that our family came into some money (Over the next 2 years) and we lived a block from the ocean... While we were walking on the ocean, as a family, war planes came, and were flying overhead in formation... and later white doves followed the same path in the sky. This was a vision of things to come. War, followed by peace.

One of our close friends had a dream last night, that took her to a clinic, and when she looked around, thousands upon thousands of people were holding their hands over their mouths... having trouble breathing, all trying to get help at the same time... as if there was a biological attack maybe.

The President recently held a Nuclear Summit, where 43 nations attended. It was the largest gathering of world leaders, since the creation of the U.N.. The focus was, tracking down, and documenting nuclear weapons and materials by the world's governments (some of which is missing) - This summit was planned, only 6 months into his presidency... Trust me... He's the President. He knows something we don't!

Iran is pushing for a confrontation. Claiming that the United States will not attack them, because their nation is "too mighty".

Why?

It's like a kid taunting another one in a park.

Only the U.S. holds many nuclear weapons, and Iran, is working toward building... (or already possesses) some of their own!

What are they provoking us for?

God told me last year, that we were in for troubling times. That the next three years would be difficult, with each year getting progressively worse, than the one before it. When I received this message... I suddenly realized, that the time he was talking about.. would culminate in the year 2012 sometime.

So, I know, I sound like a crazy person.

But if I am right... medical people are going to be needed as never before!
