I stare up at the beautiful open window roof as I’ I stare up at the beautiful open window roof as I’ve done from this exact spot probably hundreds of times. ⁣ ⁣ When this hospital opened and while I was at my previous medical device job, I worked at this hospital sometimes 5 days a week. ⁣ ⁣ I loved it here. Loved the surgeons, the staff, the other reps. Truly one of my favorite hospitals I’ve ever gotten to work in the OR at. ⁣ ⁣ Now I look at it through such different eyes. I’m writing this sitting here with tears held back. Thinking about how 5-years-ago-me looked through this roof with such a different lens. ⁣ ⁣ I had a lot of faults 5 years ago. Most that I’ve tried to change, rearrange, accept, adapt to. But they were mostly personal faults. Although my family history of anxiety, depression and quick tempers may beg to differ. But again, these were things I felt I could ‘fix’. ⁣ ⁣ Now I sit here. I have darkness in my heart and soul. Especially after how I was treated when I was inpatient here a few weeks ago. Disgusting. Completely unacceptable. ⁣ ⁣ Working alongside healthcare to now what feels like working against healthcare the further I get into my own journey. ⁣ ⁣ I still love medical device. I love my job. The practitioners, nurses, surgeons. When I say I have gotten to converse with some of the most incredible, brilliant minds in the entire world. It would blow my mind reading the studies done by these surgeons. Watching domino transplants. Truly magic. ⁣ ⁣ And yet now, the magic feels like dust. It feels burnt to the ground. I feel myself grasping for hope. Remember when you were at recess and you would go for the next monkey bar but your finger tips slipped ever so slightly and you fell into that prickly wooden mulch. But you stood back up and went to the next activity. ⁣ ⁣ I feel like I can barely stand anymore. The weight of it all. The neglect from trusted professionals. ⁣ ⁣ I could write a novel right now. That’s how many feelings I have. ⁣ ⁣ Cont. in comments 🤍⁣
