NOT LISTENING, JUST GETTING PAID!
I’m open to hearing anything regarding someone’s well-being. It might be a matter of life or death.
I’ve remarked numerous times that when someone is talking too much, especially when it’s not important, it makes it difficult for me to focus. I have a propensity to easily become bored.
Some people work in the incorrect professions.
If your profession involves helping others, you should listen with your ears and give that individual the respect they deserve. I have met very good doctors who are genuine and empathetic, and I have met lousy ones too.
Every three to four months, I go for a psychiatric evaluation, and I’ve noticed that the consultation notes are not well-written and have little to do with the previous session.
The consultant doesn’t pay attention to how I act or what I say, instead, it’s more like a regular copied letter that he completes a month later. No tape recorder just jotting things down.
I noticed something off about this locum from my first visit. He did not have the computer up and running and mistook me for another patient. I should have reported him then.
He would not have been my first option because I prefer to see a physician from a different race than mine. This is due to a lack of belief in mental health.
I have sat on interview panels with candidates who are textbook experts in psychiatry but who are deficient in every other aspect of the profession.
Along with paying attention and trying to comprehend the patient, empathy is the key component.
My care plan has nothing to do with my recovery, so it is a complete waste of time. It’s comparable to giving someone medication while not assisting them in solving the current issue.
Since the pandemic, I’ve discovered that I’ve had no support. Everything is meaningless.
Because you are only spinning on that same hamster wheel, life loses all meaning. You are left alone; you think you might lose your mind or go insane.
*Working in the caring industry is not suitable for everyone to stop the mortality rate they need to reevaluate who they employ.
