As someone who stands on the frontline of healthcare every day, it’s hard not to notice the disconnect between the care we’re expected to provide and the care we receive ourselves. The irony is profound: we’re trained to prioritize patient wellbeing, yet the healthcare system often overlooks the wellbeing of the very people who make it function. It’s no secret that healthcare workers are constantly under pressure, facing long hours, emotional demands, and sometimes inadequate resources. But what is less talked about is the gap in meaningful support for us—support that should go beyond “just getting through the day.” From mental health resources to fair compensation and policies that prioritize rest and resilience, the system is severely lacking. This creates an environment where burnout, stress, and even trauma become normalized, adding an unnecessary burden to an already demanding profession. Why should those entrusted with caring for others have to navigate a system that doesn’t prioritize their own needs? Imagine the difference we could make if healthcare institutions genuinely supported their workforce. If there were resources dedicated to our health, fair policies that protected our mental space, and a culture that truly valued us—not just as workers, but as people. This isn’t just about “what we deserve”; it’s about sustainability for the entire healthcare system. Let’s keep the conversation going. Healthcare can and must do better. For patients, for providers, and for the future of care. #AmeboRadiographer #HealthcareWorkers #Wellbeing #SupportOurProviders #SustainableHealthcare

Sometimes people forget we are humans too. Our employers and even some annoying patients who feel they have the right to mess up your mood because they have paid your facility. They forget that we fall sick too, we get angry too, we get frustrated too, we have our own problems too, but we wake up everyday and choose to save lives..

This is more serious than what’s written and I understand that we’re paid to do the work but we should also come to the realization that they need us too, we are of same importance too. Let’s speak up when we feel weak and tired, my sincere opinion is take a break because nobody actually cares when you become the  patient

It's how we get so carried away, forgetting that we are humans too, and that we need the good sleep we preach about or the good eating habits 😞
