Corporate employee: "Hello [name], please complete [task] at your earliest convenience.

Me: Cool. I'll do that this week

Corporate employee, 48 hrs later: WHY HAVEN'T YOU COMPLETED THIS TASK? WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Me: Oh sorry, I didn't realize this was urgent? I can't do this today, but I will have this to you tomorrow! :[Smiley face to hide my rage]

Corporate employee, less than 24 hours later: HaVe YOu ComPleTEd tHe TaSK?????????????????????????

For fuck's sake! Why are we all burned out shells of human beings? Please see exhibit A. I work in healthcare, and it should be noted that The Task I need to complete has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with patient care (true urgency), but with a stalled IT project...which is stalled due to systemic issues with the project...not my lack of urgency with The Task.

I understand shit has to get done, but please don't tell me to do something at my earliest convenience then ping me to death within 72 hrs of the original request.

This article is so, so true. I know many feel the same way I've felt, especially in the healthcare industry. I wish more companies would understand these points and help support those working hard to keep them in business.

I had possibly the worst day I’ve had in months last Friday and spent the weekend recovering from some honestly horrendous patient interactions. The thought of going back tomorrow has me feeling hesitant but I know it’ll all help fine in the end. In the mean time, I’m definitely be brainstorming some ways to mitigate how intense these interactions feel.

Learning Administration System Make The Health care More Advanced

Healthcare agencies can appoint special health and fitness treatment techniques for first-rate development. Considering the fact that learning management system for healthcare is just not always a effortless phenomenon, industries find it tough to undertake the controls and standardization of first-rate improvement methods. However, stylish approaches that outline first-rate, create enhancement measures and understand edition through PDSA cycles and manipulate charts were a hit withinside the utility of health care techniques. Let us look at a lms studying management program advancement techniques.

It's now now not sufficient to introduce new thoughts to clinicians and communicate situation studies. The motive is it would not encourage them to observe the development initiatives. It really is larger to investigate the first-rate improvement principle by means of hands-on development perform. In different words, it is actually applied to the true clinical setting. Also, working out crucial locations for clinicians and broaden the system for betterment can assist make the adoption a great deal easier.

If we agree on what first-rate process in a sure context, we have been in a position to set up the steps after which accumulate stats largely based mostly fully on them. Also, the Institute of medicine produced a first-rate framework primarily primarily based absolutely on 6 ambitions with the structures for health care. Having said that, the utmost important of them would be the only this really is afflicted person-orientated. In various phrases, it stresses the supply of treatment largely based absolutely in the values and needs of an person influenced individual. Also, it assures that the health-related alternatives are made mainly dependent totally for the impacted person's values.

The definition of first-rate lms understanding administration technique refers to what the influenced human being thinks is important. It's to create selected that the influenced man or woman is receiving the great care possible for her or his disease. The two stats and dimension make the backbone for first-rate development. This is the issue where it's rough to go to for the subject areas relevant to health care. Ordinarily, in relation to first-rate enhancement approaches, clinicians presume that they consist of all round general performance steps that have to have duty. On the other hand, it truly is important to do not overlook the distinction amongst obligation steps and improvement steps.

That has a further perception in to the Manner for Enhancement, the approach will permit you to get hold of your advancement intention. Many of this perception arises from understanding the edition in figures and its brings about. Also, health care solutions include types of versions: meant and accidental. The intended version refers to do some matter within a unique fashion on objective. And this defines impacted person-orientated care.

To the alternative hand, accidental model takes place while lots of clinicians prescribe special kinds of antibiotics for the difficulties handy regardless of the cause of the variation. And an away from dependancy or perhaps a free of idea variation is known as an accidental variation.

When you’re burnt out from working 80 hours a week and on the edge of losing your damn mind from sleep deprivation but then someone gives you a small snack or you have time to sit down and drink a cup of water:

Today I had the chance to drink a whole cup of water between OR cases and I almost cried of happiness. When the highlight of your day is that you had the chance to pee once, something is wrong.

Residents like me work 80 hours a week (sometimes more) for what calculates out to be less than minimum wage because this is how residencies are structured and because we are the last line between patients and unsafe care. You didn’t hire enough nurses? Have the resident remove/place foleys and NG tubes. You didn’t hire enough transport staff? Have the resident transport patients. I can’t in good conscience let my patients have less than the standard of care, but it becomes unsustainable when you don’t have enough staff. To top this all off, my hospital CEO got a raise of millions of dollars this year, but my raise to next year doesn’t even keep up with inflation. People justify this treatment of residents by saying that oh well we will be rich when we’re attendings, as if having a higher salary in the future justifies this kind of exploitation. I know residents right now who are struggling to afford healthcare for their children, who struggle to find affordable housing within the area we are required to live because of home call. There is simply no justification for the amount of work we do compared with our pay (or the hours we work period).

Maybe this is just a long way of saying please be kind to residents in the hospital. We work really hard within a really broken system and care a lot about our patients.

How to Manage Your Burnout When the World Is on Fire (Bonus Episode)

Hiya, Bitch Nation. Ducky here! Kitty and Piggy are the best bosses I’ve ever had (and not just because I’m legally required to refer to said bosses as “the Bitches” in casual conversation). They are unquestionably brilliant, unfairly funny, and unbelievably supportive. Both Kitty and Piggy have been through their share of burnout. And while I’ve been dealing with it due to the stress of one of…

I decided this should be a one-shot no more. 🤷‍♀️

Hey, are you doing ok? You haven't posted in a while. I'm a new follower so no problem if I missed a hiatus note or something, just wanted to make sure you were ok. ❤

aww, thank you! i'm hanging in there ^^;

the hiatus note thing is my fault - i've wanted to start to work on this blog since i stopped, so i've occasionally posted since i originally went on hiatus, and any hiatus note i may have posted got buried.

i do still check this blog's notes for nice tags and messages, and ofc to clear out The Bots™, and i appreciate your concern!

[dragongirlbunny]

all of these psa's and shit about self care and knowing your limits and all that ring real fuckin' hollow when working your required hours and not a second more is already pushing yourself past your limits

[humandisastersquad]

while im very much supportive of the anti work movement and in favour of reducing the amount of hours people are required to work to earn a living,,, sooo much of the rhetoric seems to centre around 9-5 office type jobs where productivity is measured by tasks completed etc like every single 4 day work week experiment i've seen has been smth along those lines and bangs on about how workers are more productive in their output and do "5 days worth of work in 4" etc or aim for majority remote work when like. that isn't possible in most service jobs like healthcare etc. even tho service industries are some of the worst when it comes overworking and burnout

Officially been diagnosed as an "exhausted asthmatic" today which is hilarious to me. I've been sick consecutively for months, and it turns out it's all been one huge asthma attack encompassed with burnout🤨 On the plus side, my eGFR and ECG were great, so my vital organs will survive through my next bottle of Sauvignon Blanc✌️

Preventing Burnout while working in the NHS

Burnout is one of the most common health problems in the NHS workforce, leading to decreased productivity and decreased satisfaction with one's job.The life of a Doctor within the NHS can be quite hectic and full of challenges. It’s important to take a step back, and find ways to prevent burnout from happening. I believe if things continue on this trajectory, more healthcare workers will just quit or move to different countries. For those of us who can’t just decide leave the country due to multiple factors and don’t wish to quit practising medicine because it’s their passion in life, then the best we can do is try to evolve and make the best out of a non ideal situation, “When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddle”.

Here a few steps that can be taken:

- Take time for yourself every day to relax and de-stress.

- Refrain from working overtime or going beyond your usual work hours.

- Get enough rest and sleep. Don’t underestimate the power of sleep.

- Talk to your supervisor or HR manager to let them know how you're feeling and what improvements you would like to see made. Change won’t happen unless we all communicate with each other.

Open to more suggestions and ideas regarding this topic!

i hate having mcas.

that's it. i said it.

it's so tiring. i can't run, or go for long walks, or just sweat a little. i don't have enough strength for staying up for more than 20min, i can't eat some spices that i totally adore, and my spoons are usually so low. sometimes i simply don't want to get out of bed because im so tired but i have to do so anyway, and usually it happens when i know i'll have p.e. classes. i don't think i completed the two classes since the start of the academic year (february) without stopping and sitting and breathing heavily and feeling so itchy because i can't exercise too much or my histamine levels go high as the sky and being covered by sweat is like wearing a full costume made out of histamine, that im *specially* allergic to.

i see people running and jumping and simply walking under the sun and i feel like im missing something because im so young yet so limited. i should be able to be just fine if the climate changes, or if there's something spicy in the food, or if i need to walk a little, or if i just need to walk by a slightly inclined street, but im totally not able to be "just fine" and move on. my dad gets worried everytime we come back from school and i almost faint because of the exercise, and even though i try to explain how i feel, i know he still thinks that maybe it'd be better if i just exercised a little more to build up strength — and he's not the devil because he can't understand it as we only discovered my histamine intolerance this year because of some medical exams i made when i was 4 and my pediatrist never properly explained. i was 4 and now im 15 — it's basically 11 years being exposed to something im deeply allergic to and never understanding why i'd never get better from dermatitis and why i was so weak.

i feel fragile. my parents know i hate being seen as fragile and breakable and weak yet i can't take any longer. im constantly itching, my mind is always kinda numb, im always tired, my periods always hurt, i have constant migraines, my mood swings are worsening and on top of everything comes the game changer: im also neurodivergent. there's always going to exist someone that have the energy to do everything, and that's not me. socially im basically incapable of approaching people i find cool, the amount of work i've got to do to simply exist like a normal person is unbearable and yet i have to be responsible, good, well mannered, pretty, smart, cool, cute, role model, the best. i never learned to fail. i was always the smartest, the joyful, the responsible, the "i wish your grades were like her's" — i feel so bad to everyone who felt so little next to me because i never wanted anyone to live under a shadow of a version of me that i can't even recognize or remember anymore.

the little me would've looked at me with fear on her eyes and asked if we are failing for being so weak and so tired we can't even really care about learning something. are we really failing? i'm just so tired. i could do better if i wasn't constantly battling in order to only navigate my days without this haunting exhaustion taking me over, or if my head didn't hurt that bad, or if my emotional regulation was a little bit more effective, or if the sounds weren't so loud and the light so bright and people so confusing. i could do better if i wasn't restraining myself from eating something i love because i don't want an allergic reaction, or if i could just stim around, or if i could run around under the sun and laugh about it after. maybe if i had some adjustments my life would get so better. i don't want to run with anyone to feel like im part of something; i just want to feel okay with every aspect of myself, and maybe feeling okay is sitting down everytime i feel tired and taking medicine everytime there's an allergic reaction going on, not reducing myself to grades and stop wearing a damn mask in order to be liked.

i hate having mcas, i hate how my scoliosis correction surgery is never taken seriously when it comes to "it's painfully tiring to carry titanium inside me everyday", and i hate how misunderstood i am. i get it now: im not lazy, im simply chronically exposing myself to a lot of things and now my body is totally overloaded. i've been deeply sick for the past weeks and it's caused mainly by the overwhelming sensation of getting up, getting tired, being misunderstood and having everything to do when i don't have that energy to expend. i want to sleep, watch things about my favorite anime, write a little about it, allow myself to really rest for the first time in my life, eat healthy things that aren't like an allergy bomb inside my organism and i really, really, really want to get to live again, being understood and taken seriously, not ever being called lazy or nothing else. i just want to control what happens to myself and stop feeling on the verge of tears everytime i have to do something that requires movements and focus.

little me would be so sad we lost control over our own body to an allergy that could've been minimized before it ruined our life.
