Travel & health assistance tale

I didn't like my previous job anymore. So last april I resigned then I decided to apply for a position in a healthcare assistance provider, as a travel services coordinator. It consists with getting the most suitable medical arrangements for clients (travellers or expatriated people) in any case. Whether cases deal with injured people, car crashes or deceases.

To be honest, despite difficulties, it's always enjoyable to provide any help and to be in contact with correspondants all over the world.

You can intervene for any case, from a simple sprain to a corpse conveyance. And there it is. You have to deal with the patient's relatives, their panic, their sorrow...

Sometimes I feel like I'm accumulating panic and tears to store them up in my brain. From the outside I have to stay strong, from the inside I can't help but sympathize for all the families who lost a parent, a child, or a close relative.

It made me realize how difficult but beautiful it could be to be a nurse or a doctor. Those I work with are amazingly caring and considerate.

Those who work in health sector, do you think it's difficult to bear?

I went to school and was part of a study group with 4 other women. All of them were nurses who worked together. Talk about being the odd one out lol


Anyways, they discussed amongst themselves during one of our study sessions what it was like to care for a person who is dead and needs to be preserved long enought to have their organs delivered for donations. The nurses talked about how intense and exhausting it was to do that and how once the patient died, it was even harder to maintain their 'levels', etc. etc.

It sounded absolutely horrifying to me to experience what they do on a weekly basis, but it also made me appreciate what they go through more. What women go through, and how we never really appreciate that enough.

It must be very hard to deal with on a regular basis. You should find a outlet for your stress. Also maybe work should provide support and counseling.

I have a lot of respect for people who work in health sector. I don't think I would be strong enough to not get too touched by people who are suffering.
With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A....
