Yes, but i'll tell you, the physicians are fed up (or at least the emergency physician i know is). Working in a hospital during the crisis was not pro-bono, but close. His 70-hour weeks for 6 week and his "vacations" (known as week-end for the rest of us) for the remaining of 2020 did burn him a bit. At least he got some "thank you".
Did you ever had a client (or a boss) that wanted you to implement something that you knew would create issues, and ignored your advices. You helped him anyway, mitigated the loss because you worked harder than your were paid to, even taking time of your week-end to help. He said thank you, but did not offer a significant pay raise. Then, 4 month later, the EXACT same thing happen. Do you focus on other client? Do you quit to find a new job?
I wouldn't be mad if my cousin refused to take care of Covid patients, especially unvaccinated ones. I know he morally, physically, can't but tbh i would've quit last year if i where him. I guess that's why i'm not in the field.
- robbiep 5y agoThe president of the AMA in Victoria (australia) 2 days ago came out saying that non vaccinated people should sign advanced care directives to opt out of resus care given their choices. It has been panned by the national AMA and the past president as well as a very strong majority of doctors here (we did, after all, take a vow and the idea that you withhold care from people is really quite unthinkable) but absolutely many in the medical profession are really tired of what’s going on when there is an easily available and unfortunately politicised option that will reduce your risk of needing hospital care by 70-90%
