An exodus from the medical profession is underway, as doctors, nurses and other health care workers experience trauma, burnout and disillusionment. About 3 in 10 workers have considered leaving the profession, more than half are burned out. And about 6 in 10 say stress from the pandemic has harmed their mental health, according to a new Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll, reported The Washington Post.
“Most of us got into this to save lives. But when death is blowing around you like a tornado and you can’t make a dent in any of it, it makes you question whether you’re making any difference,” a night shift nurse in Dallas told The Washington Post. “I feel guilty for leaving. I think about the others who stayed on. I think about the patients I could have helped. I feel like I abandoned them”, said Justin Meschler, 48, who quit his job as an anesthesiologist during the pandemic last spring when fear began seeping into every part of his life. “But mostly, I feel relieved”, as reported by The Washington Post.
