Calling out all Healthcare Workers

Welcome ❤️🎉

Introduction


Hello all. It's been a while since I tried to make this forum more active and in an attempt, I thought I'd try and tag all healthcare workers here in Cups ranging from doctors, nurses, paramedics, researchers, students, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, patient techs, emergency techs, etc.

The healthcare and medical field is unique; it's a planet on its own in which its struggles are difficult to understand and its residents rarely get any support.

I'm working to create a support system for individuals in the health sector here on cups. This forum already exists and it's getting a bit more active since I first found it but I'm still aiming to turn it into a full support system for healthcare workers.

Now I'll be calling out a few individuals on cups who are or who were in the healthcare field, some whom I personally know and talked to, others not, so I hope you guys introduce yourselves in the replies.


About me

I'm a student who just finished high school. I've been working as a paramedic to gain my pre-uni work experience, and very soon I'll be joining med school.

The reason I'm really interested in this sub-forum is as follows: After a really difficult shift of mine, a shift in which I lost three patients in one call, I created an account here on Cups after searching for an anonymous support system. To be honest about my experience, I wasn't able to find the support I was hoping for whether it's on here or on other sites. Even though there were amazing listeners which is something I wouldn't deny, I was hoping to be able to share with a group of people who could understand and relate, a group of people who actually knows how it is to lose a patient and all the mixed emotions that follow.

I've already started the spark in this sub-forum a long time ago and hopefully this post will be the fire itself.


Conclusion

I hope anyone in the medical field or the health sector who stumples across this post whether has been tagged or not to introduce yourself in the reply section. I hope we can actually create a supporting community in which we could stand hand by hand, and actually build a proper support system in which we were never provided with.


Now I'm tagging a very very tiny sample of our healthcare fellows on Cups and I'll be adding more in the replies. And if anyone knows anyone in healthcare, I'll appreciate it if you tag them below.

There are also a few special individuals here who I'd like to call out here. They aren't in healthcare but I believe they will do great around the forum:

Thank you. I relate to what you went through. I lost a 5 day old patient yesterday and nothing in Medical school prepares you for that. I am happy you created a forum where we can support each other. It's better this way :)

Stay strong, keep growing and helping others!

Oh wow, I have jumbled up a lot of words in the second-to-last sentence– I apologize for that ❤️

I meant to write: Keep moving forward and stay strong– we believe in you, and are so proud of the immense effort you have put into your work.

@TheRandomEMT Tx EMT. Do hope u get better soon and back in action. You will do great in med school. Thanks for setting this up. These secondary traumas and daily stresses are difficult to explain and its easy to minimise or brush it away until it is too much to handle. Tbh im struggling at the moment as trying to prove my worth is pushing things. Leaving strength to all. Hugs
