You might think that a doctor with a health history like mine would avoid the front line of a novel viral pandemic. It isn’t that simple.I often speak to groups of healthcare workers about burnout, and whenever I tell this story I only half-jokingly describe the phenomenon as “muffin rage.
For some, the pyramid’s base — our fundamental physiologic needs — has been torched. For others, the threats have been higher on the pyramid, and we’ve suffered a series of repeated kicks. The foundation of our lives has broken open or at least cracked, and somebody somewhere has offered us a “muffin” to make us feel better.
The irony is that some of these approaches might actually ease our suffering, but they don’t replace our basic needs for sleep, for reasonable working conditions, for physical and psychological safety. The offering is palliative when what we are seeking is a cure.Growing up in a family with problems, my lifeline became Alan Alda’s Hawkeye on “MASH.” As a doctor fighting COVID-19, I channel his humor and rage.
JillianHortonMD opinion That's how and what I feel. This chaos and mayhem caused my the media-TV and prints, Social Media, Anti-vaxxers who are making tons of money by selling books of lies. Nobody carry the burden of this pandemic except the healthcare workers down to the funeral workers.
JillianHortonMD opinion What a powerful piece. 'If I’d had the option of picking up a brick instead of a muffin, I might have hurled that brick through the glittering wall of plate glass.' JillianHortonMD I love it!
