Moral injury pertains to the effects of perpetuating, observing or failing to prevent acts that transgress deeply held moral standards. ER doctors are leaving because we can no longer do what we trained to do; we can no longer help people — our raison d’être — to the standard they deserve. In short, continual moral injury is breaking your ER doctors.
Tragically, I regularly diagnose more patients with late-stage cancers than ever. These are people who should have been screened earlier, but either did not have a family doctor or had insufficient access to one, and are now sentenced to die. Perhaps worse are the cases when someone’s cancer has been caught at an early stage, but they come to our ERs seeking help as they are still waiting two months later for their first appointment with an oncologist. All I can do is offer my sympathy and send them home with the knowledge that their treatable cancer is spreading.
This is a manufactured crisis. People think im lying about being poisoned by refrigerant, denied medical care, havin the entire thing covered up. So they dont care. Im lying, because they cant understand something im trying to say, SEE.
They do this shit to people on a daily basis. Now its to the point where you can get euthanized after being denied basic quality of life services.
Even the doctors are leaving lmao. Citing "compassion burnout"
