It’s my second day back at work, and I would be lying if I said I felt I was performing at 100%. But in the environment of the ER, each person must perform competently at the very least or the whole team suffers, which can affect patient care. It is very important to me that I function at the highest level I am capable of, so I just pretended like everything was normal and threw myself into my work.
It’s astonishing how effective and therapeutic this concept can be. I’m actually starting to feel better…
