It's impossible somedays to even hear myself think at work. We've been extremely busy lately what with budget cuts, the economy and the hiring freeze. I can see a point to a hiring freeze at some places of employment but at places that provide health care services, that's not exactly the smartest idea. When staff is cut, we all suffer. We suffer as the remaining, over-worked, stressed out employees and the patients suffer from lack of proper response time, fewer appointments and very little individual attention.


One thing brings things back into focus.
Family.
They support me, they bring me back from the depths of my cluttered mind when I step through that door at the end of my shift. They are there waiting for me; to melt the tension, stress and frustration that a day at work can pile on top of me. The smiles on their faces somehow just wash all my concerns away.

Why is it that every time the goverment missing money, they cut where the need is biggest.
I think it´s terrible that they choose to cut these places, like human life dosen´t mean a thing.
The world today is so fucused on money, and other people are not worth a thing.
It´s me me me, and then me...

Dr. Cullen... as a staff member of a private practice doctors office (we have 12 physicians). I agree whole heartedly with you on the stress levels and the decrease in patient care that goes along with it. I hope that it changes for the better and sooner for the both of us.

Carlisle, I hope your works becomes easier for you in due time, but at least your family is there waiting at the end of the day.
