4 years out from training at a county program now working at a fancy community ER. Pod system, doc vs charts. Feeling isolated and miss the camaraderie of residency and the mission of a county hospital but current shop with great setup/support/pay.
Work is sucking my soul. Have little to no passion left for work and almost no empathy for patients anymore.
I imagine it's a combination of work environment, COVID, patient entitlement, the "just go to the ER" from every other specialty, ever increasing mental health patients I'm unqualified to care for on their day 4 hold, satisfaction BS, and putting out NP fires daily (BS go to ER immediately and calling consultants and knowing more than the NP answering on the other end).
Trying to get away from the work is my life mindframe that was hammered into you all medical training. Trying to find hobbies/side passions. Any help from the hive? Any suggestions?
