Pass the Buck
Briefly

The ongoing strike at Sisters of Perpetual Misery hospital by doctors and nurses illustrates deep-seated frustrations in the healthcare system, which prioritizes profit over actual care. Workers experiencing hostility from the public, who sometimes react angrily towards them, is troubling. Healthcare workers feel sympathetic towards those who lash out, as they recognize that public anger should be directed towards the system that commodifies patients rather than the providers advocating for fair treatment and safe practices. The system is critiqued for being less about comprehensive care and more about turning individuals into profit-generators.
Doctors and nurses striking at Sisters of Perpetual Misery hospital is a reflection of the broken healthcare system prioritizing profit over patient care.
It's disheartening to see that the public often misdirects their anger towards healthcare workers, instead of addressing the systemic issues in our treatment-focused system.
