I love my job, but...

Wanted to create a space where we could share the hard parts about our jobs and how we feel 😀

Personally, I love my job, and I love meeting patients and hearing their stories, but it's so hard because I work in an oncology based field, so most of my patients are suffering/scared/in pain, and I have to be professional and smile and wish them luck when sometimes all I want to do is cry.

When my patients tell me about their end of life plans, or cry to me about how much it hurts, I feel like I have to disconnect from the human side that just wants to sit down and hug them and do my job and it sucks sometimes
