I’d love to relax but it’s just not realistic

[hollowboobtheory]

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

[hollowboobtheory]

listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion

My job emailed me today saying “you serve as a human firewall for this organization”

In the middle of me trying to navigate so much bullshit admitting patients from the ED who are actively screaming or spewing blood on or at me—

And I was like, yes. Literally.

Being admitter sucks
