Like a lot of us I complain about my job,
but at least I don't have to be careful where I put my feet because the carpet's littered with hypodermics, breathe through my mouth because of the smell of faeces mixed with a fortnight's worth of rancid sweat, or keep an eye on the relatives in case one of them stops her screaming just long enough to make a dive for the kitchen drawer. Not to mention deal with the heartbreak of having to tell a parent that their child is beyond help. Hats off to you medical people, I say - underpaid and taken for granted until we need you.
