Doctors should have vocation to do their job and this serves as. excuse to be able to make any sacrifice? This is the doubt that some health professionals have debated on social media, as in recent months there have been some speeches in this regard due to the pandemic of coronavirus.
Thus, a doctor expressed from her Twitter profile that she would not die for a patient. “I like my job, I’m passionate about medicine, but my life is not about that. I work to support my family and there will never be a patient who deserves to die and I don’t see my children and my husband anymore, “says this user.
Those of you who loudly express that we should be willing to die for our patients simply do not have a name that comes close to describing your emotional misery.

“It simply came to our notice then we should be willing to die for our patients, you simply do not have a name that comes close to describing you emotional misery“, recognizes this health professional. Her words reached hundreds of colleagues, who retweeted and liked her publication.
“Being willing to die for the profession is sick”
In fact, a midwife agrees with her. “Your family, especially your children, will always be above all else,” says this doctor. “I totally agree with this one hundred percent. I also tell you that those who criticize the most are those who meet later at Christmas at the age of 18 and only put on a mask to avoid the fine. Those people who think they can do whatever they want and then you have to be there for whatever they want“says a user who explains that his wife is a family doctor and” the atrocities he sees are incredible. “
Meanwhile, a family doctor believes that these assessments occur “because of the rage of many people who call us” heroes. “I guess the vocation was too romanticized and being willing to die for the profession is unhealthy, “says one Pediatrics resident.”
Do I beat you with vocation, sacrifice, effort, dedication (which is true in the broadest sense) and now they want us to be useless martyrs? It doesn’t matter to me.
