I can relate as I am in healthcare too (pharmacist). Inadequate staffing is just our new normal as corporate has refused to budge on hours and even cut our hours during the pandemic (although our workload was more than ever)! They haven't allowed raises in two years and took away our 401k match. Since I'm in long term care, it was a really rough year and a half seeing so many of our seniors pass away and it has affected my mental health as well. It's honestly made me question whether I even want to stay in healthcare at all. I fantasize about quitting, selling my house, and just traveling the country in a RV! I was looking forward to the sale as well for a sense of normalcy. Thank you for the work you do and the difference you have made. You are not alone and you are very much appreciated now more than ever. Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you for all you do!!! Medicine is a team sport. This pandemic has turned my coworkers into family. We were all in this together. Thankfully our COVID-19 patients are few but we are swamped with patients who didn’t seek care during the pandemic and are now critically ill. There was very little we could do to keep our COVID-19 patients comfortable much less alive. It leaves you with a feeling of having no control and seems like a vicious circle. I get to retire 11/30 but totally understand the feeling of wanting to run out the door. After doing this for over four decades I have never felt that way before.

I do have FOMO but it’s not for things but life in general. My colleagues and I feel we lost over a year of our lives. I have two new granddaughters I have yet to even meet. in my case, I think I’m likely looking for anything which feels like life will be normal again.

Hang in there and I hope life gets better! ITA with everything you’re feeling.

Has anyone seen this jacket/sweater IRL? IT seems to be more of a sweater than a jacket but the texture black/brown color seems interesting...

This jacket reminds me of Helmut Lang 10+ years ago, down to the stretchy inserts underneath the arms for a more streamlined look. Here's mine for reference. I don't think it's too dated either. Just the color alone is worth a try since it's different.
