  The "dark humor" helps you cope. Also, having conversations and laughing at the chaos of it all is all you can do. I love how you take the time to highlight amazing health care workers and share your experiences.

  Thanks for honoring social workers during our month! Was a medical social worker for almost 30 years. Trying to balance the competing pressures of money, lack of health care and mental health resources, the prevalence of violence, and the housing crisis is a huge task and the “wins” are sometimes tiny.<br>I always said if a bunch of us got together and wrote a book, no one would believe it.

  Solidarity with all the Social Workers trying to help and constantly trying to work within systems that don’t work and are funded to help very few

  If you don&apos;t get twisted and dark when you begin working in health care, you don&apos;t make it. <br>Thanks to both of you!

  I&apos;m a retired hospital librarian. &nbsp;On our way to lunch we encountered a pregnant woman in the earlier stages of labour. &nbsp;Her husband was tweaking hard. &nbsp;Talking to himself, distracted by every piece of medical equipment in the hallway. &nbsp;The mother to be just didn&apos;t know what to do and broke down in tears asking us for help. &nbsp;We got her in touch with a social worker. &nbsp;Confidentiality being what it is I&apos;ll never know the outcome, but I was just thankful that there was someone who could help in that difficult situation.

  I have NOTHING but RESPECT and appreciation for social workers, nurses, case workers that are constantly pushing through and working in a totally broken system that these wack-ass politicians never seem to think is important. God bless you all!!!!

  We need to see the humor in healthcare, we’d be crying. I love my hospital humor. We do good stuff for people.

  Safe injection clinics actually relives taxpayer burdens, reduces disease transmission, and is beneficial to public health.

  Please talk to more folks suffering from addiction. It is a brain disease centered in the lizard brain, which subconsciously tells us we need drugs as much as we need oxygen and food and water. It&apos;s extremely difficult to fight an unconscious part of your brain with executive functions. I have almost 28 years sober and worked as a counselor, case manager, and social worker in mental health and addiction treatment, inpatient, outpatient, psycho-social, and medical settings. And I was an IV heroin addict. I am grateful every day I got out long before fentanyl.

  Dudes. I work as an OT in an acute secure mental health ward in Australia. We had an unwell patient on the ward who was admitted due to schizophrenia relapse secondary to meth use. <br><br>He had superhuman strength when he was brought in by cops and tore a Kevlar vest in half....
