Health care workers are facing a severe mental health crisis, according to a new survey published Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Workers said they are experiencing harassment, burnout, and other mental health symptoms – including anxiety and depression – at levels higher than before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Health workers and health-related professions have historically faced long work hours, often with unpredictable or rotating schedules or like what I experienced as an emergency physician working overnights and on holidays,” Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer, said during a press conference about the report Tuesday afternoon.
Conservatives should use their own hospitals and leave the normal people alone.
Conservatism is a plague of grotesque, deadly behavior that is long overdue for a cure. Let them go to their own weird, anti-science doctors and stay the fuck out of our ER’s.
