My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways. More people are leaving than staying, and I am worried the quality of care is dwindling. I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.

I'm afraid of what I'm seeing in the payer space. Those creating the payment structures have no idea what is required to effectively care for patients. Additionally, from a health tech perspective, I see a lot of people coming into the industry with little understanding of the business and thus making it more difficult for clinicians to do their jobs.

I couldn’t agree more. I consider myself healthcare adjacent because I’m on the tech IT side for a major hospital software vendor. I talk with nurses and providers doing med management and it feels as tho the quality of care is decreasing sharply as prices rise. I have so much sympathy for those in the position of having to balance it all because it’s a nightmare.

A single mom that works in the medical field has an infant and she feared she will transmit COVID-19 to the infant by continuing to go to work. She was also worried leaving her infant to a babysitter will expose the infant to the virus. So she had to temporarily quit work to take care of the infant. She was denied unemployment because she wasn’t technically laid off. She’s struggling with her finances. Is there anything she can do to get assistant from the government?
