I guess the pressure of taking care of 10 different people all on the same day also aint that easy. In surgery the easy part is that we only have 1 at the same time. Nice and easy overview ;)
When I worked on the ward in the hospital I also saw the difference in this. You can give your attention to 1 person, but that means that the others arent getting the attention at that same moment. It never stops, and that aint easy. Dementia is a different ballgame as well indeed, telling the same story over and over. Love the angel patience on you then!
I worked in a Swiss hospital for a while so I get you with learning the different language on the job. Es war gar nicht einfach! ;)
Oh no, our floor has 30 residents and 4 workers. We have around 100 residents in total. Some are in palliative care, some have dementia, but thankfully some are still independent. But that's the problem. How can 4 workers give attention to everyone? We try our best, but it's impossible to care for everyone properly. It's sad that almost no one wants to work in this field anymore, so there's a real shortage of workers. Covid made things worse. We were already exhausted, working 12-hour days, and often there were only two of us on the floor. I will never forget working with just one colleague when many were infected, and no one from other floors could help us. My colleague was so exhausted that he cried. That was the first time I saw how tough this job can be.
Ja, und es ist noch immer nicht einfach :) Schreiben ist fur mich trotzem zu schwer ;)
