@Robyn_Medhurst On one hand, no you should never heard or read any of this after your situation. All medical professionals should have their social media on lockdown AND never speak of any medical incidents on them. On the other hand, the best medical professionals do have to compartmentalize…
@Robyn_Medhurst I am sorry and I know it’s not the same but as I was going under I heard, ‘How do you want her?’ ‘Sunny side up’ and I have never had a problem with it. Humour at my expense doesn’t mean they weren’t trying their best. I’m just very very careful what I myself put on SM. Even…
@Robyn_Medhurst I am sorry for your loss, but how exactly do you know what they are talking about had anything to do with you?
@Robyn_Medhurst You view that night with emotion, loss, grief and sadness. They view that night as just another day on the job. They are human just like us. They become desensitized. It's human, it doesn't make them bad people.
@Robyn_Medhurst Sorry for your loss but if you can imagine how staff have to mentally prepare themselves to get through shifts like that day after day. Would you prefer they break down mentally and have more people die as a result of them not being able to work?
@Robyn_Medhurst Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately you have to realise that your healthcare providers are human too. Dark humour is a way of coping with the unimaginable human stories they have to process every day. Same goes for soldiers.
