ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS THREAD?
New York is burning, Massachusetts may be next and you make a thread asking who else is still depressed about losing Tom Brady and how are they coping with this tragedy? Are you really that tone deaf?
My wife and I are both physicians. My wife is a pulmonologist and intensive care unit doctor and is trying to finalize her will (while still going to work), because if she gets sick from one of her patients she won’t have the ability to do it emergently. Many doctors and nurses who work in ER and ICUs are doing the same.
Here’s a message from the two of us and all doctors, nurses, nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, respiratory therapists and hospital ancillary staff: F*CK OFF, YOU OBLIVIOUS, SELF-ABSORBED C*NT.
There are no active sports. What are you doing here posting, with these weighty cares in your life? A bit ironic to call another out, don't you think?
Having been in actual combat/war , as many here have, you chose your profession, for whatever reasons those may be (money, helping other, etc.). I chose mine in the military, and I chose it now working everyday at the border (we are essential).
I respect the work of physicians everyday, if you are actually that and not going for dramatic fiction. Everybody is stressed out. I get it. If you are this stressed out, then stay at home. Leave your job. It doesn't sound like you are under military orders. Coming here to shame others or trumpet your sacrifice does not speak well of you, if you are what you claim to be. It definitely doesn't sound like a practicing doctor, as you claim to be.
An actual medical professional must have studied a little psychology, and dealt with individual patient reactions (or over-reactions, for example, to a sprained ankle) to what in reality may be trivial physical malady. There is a thing called empathy, which is appropriate for those with physical issues and psychological issues. If you don't understand that point - that people think and feel things differently from one another - then I submit you are in the wrong profession.
There are many in this world suffering more greatly than you (people die horribly in poverty everyday - I doubt you can make that claim), so disclaim your notion that this event affects only you and demonstrate the empathy that any real medical professional should have been trained to display. This temporary event (this is not the end of days, it is a virus), whether weeks or months in duration, would be much easier for all if more people could do that.
