The solution really is simple

One hundred patients through our emergency room door was a very busy day for us. Hell, eighty through our doors was busy enough. I've since moved on from my busy, challenging, exciting little hospital, and I'm relieved I have.

I loved the emergency room. The staff, the challenges, the excitement. But now we easily see 150 plus 4-5 days a week. They've added a new nurse position to help with the extra work load.

It's six years since I last worked there, but I keep in regular contact with the few old friends I've still got there.

95% of the original, experienced staff I worked with have left. The new staff last about 2-3yrs on average.

Total burnout plus fear of screwing up due immense workload = Run for the hills.

The hospital has a budget it can't go over. The government has set aside 13 billion over x number of years for expected legal expenses due to litigation.
