There are a lot of jobs that are 24/7/365 without proper coverage from coworkers so people are always available and can’t turn off.

Other jobs won’t call you off shift but if you just had to deal with something traumatic like a car wreck it’s hard to leave that at work as well.

It describes almost every role in the field of medicine.


I don't hear these complaints from nurses during HN discussions. Only doctors.
