Usually it is me who steps out of the doctor’s office to break this kind of news. Usually I don’t cry. To be really honest, I usually feel very unattached to the whole situation.

The feeling of restlessness is very unpleasant. I feel like although I am at home, I still don't have full agency, I lack control over my life.

If I am subject to my conscience, it is me who will fix the holes. If I am held hostage by my conscience, I will sacrifice myself for their understaffed, broken system.

I swing like a pendulum between hating the system and my employer — and hating the very people I am supposed to care for. When everyday work is nothing but stress, there is no room left for empathy.
