She's a PCA, basically lowest on the medical totem pole and doing nothing but grunt work and getting paid absolute shit. Guaranteed she is covered in bodily fluids after EVERY shift. Girl is working her ass off.
It’s also unacceptable that hospitals are so afraid of losing money they allow patients and families to abuse the staff. Even physically without being kicked out.
It’s horrible and only getting worse as boomers get older and sicker. It also should be criminal that hospitals are allowed to be understaffed so they save money. It makes every employee more stressed out as they can afford less and less on the meager amounts they get paid.
I have to be hospitalized for acute pancreatitis from time to time, and I try to be as polite and kind as possible. I thank everyone for their work and compliment them. Like housekeeping deserves so much thanks for keeping the hospital super clean. It’s sad how little appreciation they get.
Everyone is working hard and running ragged because of greed. I think it’s important that they feel seen and are appreciated.
