Antiwork

My father works as a family doctor in Israel, he gets treated like a retail worker (not that retail workers deserve that treatment)

He's 70 but can't afford to retire, earns more than the average Israeli, but still has to count every dime he spends and has to cut lots of expenses each month because things get more expensive. The job is very stressful. He sees patients that treat him like shit, yell at him and blame him for things that are out of his control. While seeing patients, the phone rings and the secratary has some requests about another patient. He does what the secratary says, the patient in the room demands attention immediately, asks for things that are against the healthcare's policy and doesn't want to leave the room until he gets what he wants. After 8 hours of psychological terror, my father stays in the room for one or two more hours to do paperwork, which he doesn't get paid for, and goes back home, exhausted, affraid and miserable.
