In my thirties, no child, no friends, nothing. Divorced, a workaholic, tiny apartment. Pointless. Why had I denied myself everything in the world, all for the needs of others? I needed a change, a break, something…
My life revolved around the hospital. Not only did I get mistaken for a nurse all the time just because I’m female but my husband left me for not putting enough time into the relationship. I couldn’t handle this pressure much longer, I needed to find release.
The constant lack of sleep and running around always made me think was this worth the money? Was it worth helping a few people a day whilst ruining myself in the process? I didn’t know what I wanted anymore, I didn’t know who to turn to.
Working here wasn’t like having a family, the only time I spoke to co-workers were when I passed over charts. No one really bothered making friends. No one really cared. I suppose they all have their own social lives unlike myself, they all had rings on their fingers, some of them even had their kids drop by after school to say hello. I thought it was unprofessional but i understood why they enjoyed it so much. We were heroes so to speak.
