    Okay, and…? Do you think people in the business of saving lives shouldn’t get downtime at all, just all go from clock in to clock out? Like it’s a concentration camp instead of a hospital?

    Your mum sounds like she’s awesome, but she remind me so much of mine. Self-sacrificing to a fault, and potentially like she struggled to internalise that she needed breaks, because otherwise “someone (could) die”.

      Whoa, not what I was trying to say at all. Nor was I implying that OP or anyone else here is lazy.

      There’s a huge difference though between not getting a break and not being willing to do what is expected of you (within reason), and this isn’t really something that can be generalized so easily.

      Again, I never meant to imply anything about any particular person, so I apologize if it came across that way.
