Why is it that the healthcare industry employs so many bullies? In healthcare, we as professionals, are supposed to be caring for the ill and injured patients. How can we provide care to these patients when we are in an environment which promotes hatred and evil doings toward one another? Even if you are not a doctor, nurse, medical technician, etc., even if you are doing billing, receptionist, or other clerical/administrative duties, we still should be promoting healing and good health toward our clients.
In the medical group I worked in, the stress level was so high, and the employee turnover was so high. So many employees who have been terminated have ended up on Disability, then Unemployment. When the work environment tears down your self-esteem, it creates illness not only physically, but mentally as well. I am ashamed of my former co-workers and I hope I never cross paths with them ever again for the remainder of my life. I have decided that I want my next job to be away from the healthcare industry.
