We were dreaming of that beautiful fall wedding celebration or a vacation, but our plan has changed. Delta wave has put an unnecessary burden on healthcare workers. Are you Mad? Exhausted? Scared? Disappointed? Or probably all of the above. Dr. Karkowsky expresses in The Atlantic magazine that we are losing compassion for those who do not believe in prevention and science. I have seen frustrations from ICU doctors, floor nurses, and administrators. Still, our morale is comparably high. Sometimes I wonder how this is different from when patients have refused good care over their independence. We have taken an oath to take care of all, and that is what we are doing. We are taking a high road but will society judge us as heroes when the pandemic is over? How are you dealing with it?

Maybe this article on forgiving will help some.
