First PUI duty destroyed me. 🫠

This past week has been kinder.

I took a leave from work because I no longer know what the hell I was doing at the ER.

I got into Peds knowing that "parents" will always be parents. It's their job to worry about their kids and bitch about it to us when clearly the reason why they're at the ER in the first place is their fault. Well not always, (f*k this government and the poor health care system that we have) but you'll get my point if you're from where I am.

It's my unspoken rule that I don't get to yell at these parents for bringing their kids at the ER even if they're almost half dead. But August wasn't kind. I yelled and got angry at some parents. Blamed them for taking advice from their neighbors who are clearly NOT DOCTORS BUT-SOMETHING-WORKED-FOR-THEM-SO-THEY-WILL-SWEAR-TO-THE-OLD-GODS-AND-THE-NEW-THAT-IT-WOULD-ALSO-WORK-FOR-YOUR-CHILD-TOO.

After a very long day (well last Friday), I knew I had to breathe. So I did. It helped. I mean being away. I realized that if this job was easy, everybody will be doing it. And you know what, I really have nothing else to do with my life (that will give me money lol). So why not play Pediatrician until I really make it?
