I'm with you on this one rowan, If I didnt have CB and Q&P...I couldn't do the job I do. I would go mad with frustration....Popping in and out of here is nothing compared to the rest of the hard graft I'm sure we both do. From what I could see this morning Doc's blood sugar was low and he needed a bacon sandwich.

Nice one rowan x
Funny my daughter is under stress as she can only get agency work.She phoned tonight and said she had nothing to do -she had even went to the boss and asked if he needed hole punched,papers stapled etc -he did take it in good spirit.
I said nip on the Internet then and and she said and I quote ;I'd rather watch the second hand tick by than anyone think I wasnt doing what i was paid for'.
She doesnt have the security of a job so wouldnt ever jeopardise any she got -I was proud of her.
I know that wasnt akin to what you are going through but just to let you know on the bottom rung its just as bad-she has a mortgage to pay and would live hand to mouth at best (if it wasnt for me)
Chin up hun x

I hope today is a little better for you rowan. I know exactly how u feel - but you don't have to justify why you spend time on here, and I think you feel today (yesterday) that you've had to. Me too - NHS, surgery, work time , whatever- reading and hearing day in & day out real life tragedies of terminal illness, pain and disease.
Hi rowan
I can imagine how you feel. But you are doing such a worthwhile job by the sounds of it. I am a cook in our local hospital and meet a lot of nurses in the canteen and especially McMillan staff and they sometimes come in just for a 5 min break just to get away when someone has died and we chat and support them. Its a very emotional job, I dont think I could do it.

I used to work in a hospice, I recognise what you say, AOH - debriefing when dealing with death is so important - it was me and 78 nurses, so I learned a lot - both about their personal strength and about my own take on life. It takes a certain type of doctor or nurse to be able to cope in that setting on a daily basis. We did laugh a lot though, peer support is such a boon in jobs which drain you emotionally.
