Dear All,
(I used to use a different nickname... but had to change for anonymity.)
Yesterday, I got burnt out. We've all been through this. Listening to a story being told, over and over and over again. What takes 4 minutes to tell, being repeated, lands up taking 20 minutes. The next thing the person says is again repeated. So 10 minutes of conversation is looped over and over, taking up 1 hour instead.
I know, it's a small issue to many but admit it, it does affect us all over time. Am feeling overwhelmed when I have other things to juggle such as my own parents, work, relationship, etc.
I've started jotting down the patient's daily progress, taking Brucie's sample journal as a guideline.
Don't know how long I'm going to be able to to do this. Just needed to write and let out a little steam before I blew up. Thanks for listening.
