Daily News | Health care workers must be as kind to themselves as they are to patients | Opinion
So we don’t judge our patients. We support them and nurture them.
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. Although 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 that 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; we may want to 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.
