FWIW working conditions in the NHS are (also) very stressful, largely because the system is cash-constrained and runs heavily on staff goodwill. And, while the shenanigans of brutal corporate management are largely absent, the shenanigans of continuous politically-motivated reorganisation and contracting out are not.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the NHS. It's humane, generally provides very good care, and (in comparative terms) is cheap. It'd be a happier place if it wasn't permanently having to handle demand increasing faster than budget.
