For those working with terminally ill patients, how do you handle the emotional burden that comes with it? I work with medications for patients with rare diseases that will one day take their life and it always saddens me to hear that one of them has passed even if I haven't met them in person.

I work for a children’s hospital. Let me tell you, it’s nearly impossible not to be overwhelmed at times. I have been known to breakdown and cry once I make it home after losing patients.

I work in a long term care facility for elderly patients and have lost many of them through out my career and honestly, it’s hard every time. I think that’s just one of those things you have to learn to navigate in your own way.

It’s hard and doesn’t really get easier. I like to have a quiet moment for them when I get a chance. Puts the job into perspective, that you do the best you can for every person, and reflect on that.

I’m sure that must be really tough. I know some of my friends think of how they can support the family and patient the best they can

I focus on quality of life issues. I try to make life the best I can for my patients despite their circumstances. If I can make them smile or bring something emotionally to them from myself to make their lives better.
I do my best for them, with no regrets and when the time comes where I no longer see them anymore I can leave with a sense that I did my best. And that's all you can ask of anybody.

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.
