Palliative care doctors were the epitome of self care. I could tell them anything, and they wouldn’t judge a thing. I loved how candid they were.
At one point, a patient with a complicated family situation making discharge tricky passed away. The physician turned to me and said, “At some point in residency you’ll feel relief that your patient died.” I nodded along in agreement thinking that she meant relief for the patient and their family and the end of suffering. Then she said, “No, I mean relief that you no longer have to do the work.”
I was so taken aback by it and didn’t know what to say. The chaplain with us chimed in, “And that’s a completely NORMAL response. It doesn’t make you a terrible person, and you don’t need to feel guilt.” They explained that the important thing is recognizing that you feel that way and that it’s a result of the high pressure system you work under. It’s the result of burn out and not because you’re a bad doctor who doesn’t care about your patients. I hope I remember the lesson when it happens to me.
here’s my take on himalayan pink salt: it tends to be listed as associated with love and friendship and positivity because it’s pink, but do you know why it is pink? because of the high iron content in it. iron, as in blood and rusted swords. think of it: blood salts. warding against fae tricksters, perhaps a blood substitute for some workings, an ingredient for binding oaths and for curses, a powerful but personal protector. strength, revenge, rawness. nothing wrong with the original associations, just a thought. i personally wouldn’t consider it as strong a purifier/energetic cleanser due to iron technically being an impurity.
