[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 695102, member: 18958"] Thank you Lil and thank you everybody. Lil. I actually agree with every single syllable. And I realize now that this is very reason I am in this job. At first I defined it as money. Now I am defining it as self. I believe in the dignity and the right to humanity of every single person. I am working in an environment that respects neither. But it is not my right to judge any other person; and two I am not responsible for either the institution or the other people in it. They control what they do. All I can do is the best I can do, given my limitations and my choices. Which I do. I respect myself. I cannot ensure that one other person respects me, but I can demand that they treat me with respect, or I leave. Which I decided to do, the next time that anybody tries to bully me. I held my ground with this young man. The next time, I leave. And then I read your validation and I know I am right: When I got in the car M said [I]you should have told him: I pay my malpractice. I determine my choices in how to treat a patient. And let the chips fall where they may.[/I] You see, I am a gun for hire. They cannot control how I use my gun. I will remember that. When I was a little girl there was a show called, "Have Gun Will Travel." Palladin was his name. I am Palladin. All I need to do is go to another town. Like he did. I will go to work tomorrow and I will be Palladin. And I figured out: I only need to work 3 to 4 more weeks to meet my short-term goal. But if I need to leave in 2 weeks, I will. I agree. I will. Thank you, Lil. [/QUOTE]
