Sorry but i need to rant by chrismakin 6 Jan 2021 2:11
This is the only place i know where i can rant during my time out, Gav delete if appropriate but i just need to vent

I knew what i was signing up to, working in a hospice, of course it's all about end of life care, but in literally a matter of days, this place has turned into a covid death hotel, We're all stressed, crying, sweating, i feel weak, not physically but feel like i should be manning up or something. I don't know the people that come in here, but this is usually a place of giving someone a dignified last few days, now i see a name on a piece of paper, i see them carried away in the private ambulance, I clean their rooms and in 30 minutes we get the next patient, it's a conveyor belt. We've taken on extra patience, to help local hospitals, but it feels like we've opened up a covid hotel, 99% of patients coming in have covid, the day centre has been converted into a covid ward, we now basically have 3 covid wards. Turning away visitors desperately seeking to say goodbye, not enough staff or time to set up video calls, angry family members blaming us, i've been cursed more than i ever have done before in my life. Watching staff wipe their tears and not knowing what to say, I've literally had enough tonight.

Anyway i've got to go back now, thanks for letting me have someone to vent.
