I have gone to mx before for care and it was wonderful. But how fucked up is it that we have to consider this? Our medical people are burnt out - my family in the medical field are so toasted and have lost a lot of patience, which is not good for anyone. The hopsital group my doctor sibling works for is the devil, so that doesn’t help. :/ and all the nurses i talk to, as i’ve met a lot of the ones that are travel nurses for cvmc/psych hospital here, say they make fair wages only by traveling. My mother is a nurse who traveled before and during the pandemic around the new england area and says more nurses are doing that, resulting in a failure for local people to be retained bc the prospective money elsewhere is greater, esp seeing contracts are like, 13 weeks or so. Something has to change for all workers in the country, including medical staff. It’s bad.

Also, i am sorry about your racist doctor! What hospital group are they associated with - uvm or dhmc?
