we’re doubly fucked. spent a week in the hospital in feb. almost all the nurses had less than 2 yrs in. the 1 ‘old timer’ on the floor was soooo bitter.
this was a ‘top in the country’ hospital, so they were almost all american born. the docs, not so much. surgeon was russian, gi was korean.
also lost 3 docs in the plague. all burned out and retired.

dont let anyone tell u there r only long waits in canada. they’re already here and about to get worse. need to find a new pcp, and i have the ‘next available’ appt w a pretty low rated doc- october. next w an internist was dec.
in chgo. home to several big, top notch hospitals.
