  • The shortage is not due to an aging population, it’s because nobody wants to go into this field.

    And that is due to the pay not reflecting the extreme exploitation of the workers, in an environment that’s not very conducive to a happy life. They all end up burnt out and have nothing to show for it.

    They tried keeping the pay down by hiring Eastern European medical personnel, who would work below their qualifications (doctors as nurses for example), but apparently they don’t want to work here anymore.

    The problem has been going on for such a long time it is now systemic.

    Seriously, “aging population”?












  • I got the questionnaire and an interview and the psychiatrists said, yeah that’s probably ADHD.

    The real epiphany I had when I went into a group therapy setting and suddenly I was somewhere where everyone fucking understood me! That’s how I came to actually believe, yeah, it’s probably ADHD.

    However the diagnosis turned out to be somewhat irrelevant, what’s relevant is to change yourself so that you can live with yourself.
