I worked a certain floor in a hospital as a dietary services associate. I would help patients with specific dietary needs pick out foods which would meet their nutritional requirements and, hopefully, aid in their recovery. On my floor, most of the patients that were in the ICU area were drug addicts that were, more often than not, deteriorating slowly. I was advised to “not become too attached to the patients” by fellow coworkers. Instead, I used the same psychological coping methods depicted here.
Pretty sure this is the primary reason why former health care workers exist
He's just sad his favorite villagers are moving away.
This is a sad upvote from me
I came here for sad upvotes, not soul crushing tearful upvotes.
As a former CNA within assisted living and group homes in Florida for five years, this is more relatable than you may even realize.
That one hits hard. Take your upvote.
