Daily News | Health-care workers cope under extraordinary circumstances | Expert Opinion
I often hear patients and their family members say things such as:“I should have done this much earlier, I’m sorry.”I don’t fault them for a second. I understand where they are coming from.
Perhaps it’s because we feel the responsibility to meet the demands of the pandemic, or that we feel the profession should be immune to the strains upon society. Perhaps it’s because of the deep disdain for complacency ingrained in medicine. While this is how I have felt for as long as I have been in medicine, over the last two years I have been thinking more about why it is so hard to accept myself or the number of hours which I am working as ever being enough. Even as working conditions worsen, I only seem to be asking myself why I can’t handle more.
During these times, we can also fall behind, or lose motivation. Some days, we may not want to work, and just sit on the couch. We may have days when we are far from perfect, and that’s normal. No one else or any policy will ever be able to convince us that we are doing enough. Only we can do that.
