I am trying, jay and doing an ok job at it, I guess. Thanks not only to my doc and all of you here, but also from family, friends, and people in a chat room I go to on occasion, my isolated life has broader horizons.
Jay, you are not alone. There is such a high burn out rate in our field that I may choose to only run in it on a vol. basis from now on and when I go back to work find something a little less close to home--e.g. my-self. The one thing I'd o offer to you as advice jay is NOT to self-disclose to others in the agency. As a result of trusting a "friend" at work and her uncanny ability to self-disclose what others tell her, I was told that I was to have a note sent from doc. listing meds and his feeling of my competence in the work place. I even went as far as my supervisor "feeling it best" that my meds were given to me by others staff members although I was still allowed to dispense clients as usual if the nurse were not around.
Doc’s suggestion was very humble and direct: "Tony, this is clear discrimination and you should quit.” He mentioned that this would be a good lawsuit but it would put me thru the “wringer" with embarrassment that we agreed I did not need. lol
