If anyone doesn't know. In medicine breaks are a thing that's supposed to happen but never do. I worked 9.5 hours yesterday with no breaks, no water, no food because my provider was an hour and half behind. I was doing surgery during my lunch break, by the time it was cleaned I only had 5 minutes before my first paitent. Well time to go back at it because management doesn't step in ever. I didn't even have time to think about changing my tampon, I was cramping, in just so much general pain, I felt disgusting having bled into my pants, hungry and so tired and incredibly anxious and overwhelmed. When it was all over I see that A lot of the end of day things still needed to be done which takes forever.
We also don't leave until these things are done. Our scheduled time off almost never happens. I just started crying trying to get the work done so I could leave. Then people ask me if I'm okay. My lead takes my work from then tells me to go home. I have anxiety attack on the hour drive home. Now I have to do it all again today. Maybe I'll get a break today. Maybe it'll be an hour lunch.
I fucking hate medicine with a burning passion. Fuck this career field.
