Do you feel like you are doing anything to improve healthcare or access to healthcare? Even just treating patients well? Or does it feel like you have no impact?

I like to feel like the attention I provide to people who are often overlooked makes a big difference. I advocate a lot for patients who wouldn't get the attention they deserve.

Improving access to healthcare? No, I think that's way beyond the scope of what I can do. I try to provide the highest quality attention possible, though, and I take pride on my work and try to be as attentive to my patients as possible. I may not impact the system as a whole but I know I can make a difference at a smaller scale.

I believe it's important to advocate for my patients. I can speak to their insurance companies on their behalf, help them to navigate the healthcare system, and ensure that they have access to the care they need.

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

I have pretty bad anxiety to the point where it affects my job performance and will cause me to waste hours because I'm trying to cope with symptoms. I hate that xanax works so well and am terrified of getting addicted to it. Wasted 2 hours this morning panicking and thinking I was about to have a heart attack or something stupid, then I took a xanax and drank some tea and I'm super focused again and my productivity is way up. Anyone else take xanax? I usually only do like 2x a week.
