Wouldn't do it again if I knew then what I know now. Healthcare is a mess, corporate greed infiltrating and controlling medicine has ruined my passion.
Currently trying to invest in real estate and prop up my hot rod shop. I hope to be out of medicine in 5 years.
Hence why I left bedside. We both have tons of stories and the amount of unethical care I've seen and heard before and especially through covid, would make anyone sick.

It's just a shame after so many years of education and training that you're ability to practice medicine is ruled by insurances and corporate greed.

Medicine, hospitals, management, corporate big institutions stink… I left a huge one and I've never been happier. The anxiety and stress is gone, along with the backstabbing and being understaffed as a floor nurse, risking my license along with other RN'S.. let's just say it isn't the same, and it won't change.
