It's an exaggeration, but if you actually lived here, you would understand just how fragile our country can be.

A lot of Boomers are going to retire or have started retiring this decade. This is not actually a good thing to have, because it takes long time to train new doctors and nurses to replace them. Sending more sick people to the hospital has caused a massive strain on our system, which was never built to handle the influx. In addition, the poor treatment of Nurses and Doctors has also made this career feel toxic to any newcomers who want to help but now can't.
