That sounds a lot as though you engaged in a spontaneous act of something like process oriented psychology, which is often very effective as a method of healing. Maybe if more people in a leadership or teaching role understood this method, they would do less harm.
And, to use your framing from earlier, I'm curious about what change in the system would make you able to be better?
- kingkawn 13y agoI work in medicine, and find that a lot of the limitations to what I am able to do for people are related to money. Everyone knows this, I am saying nothing new there. My component of that equation is my salary, or at least it will be upon the completion of my education (a late life decision to become a doctor). It seems reasonable to accept a reduced salary in order to free myself to properly care for people. Satisfaction is far more important than gross purchasing power. I do not however have any desire to by a martyr. I want to do a good job and show that outcomes can improved via new modeling that was otherwise cost-prohibitive to attempt, it can subsequently be expanded out and will not require others to accept the same sorts of pay cuts that I anticipate. Admittedly this is in the planning phase, but I was a visual artist for a long time before this and so the prospect of not having much money is not frightening. I proved long ago that I could live on a relatively minor amount of resources. It is, in a way, an investment of my own earning capacity into the development of new ideas. Determine the end goal, figure out how it is possible given everything that I have the power to modify, figure out how to compensate for the things I cannot modify myself, and then use that to show that it is a meaningful thing to do systemically. Sounds lovely. I'll let you know how it goes in real life and how I adjust as I proceed. I think it's not too hard to come up with ways to change things, it requires some rigor in the approach: how did they come to be, how have I been granted any role in that, and how can I change it.
