I do lubs my clients very much, and I am happy to say there are many MANY more people out there who feel the same way. There really are a large number of people who care about folks who have disabilities or who have psychiatric issues or who have dementia or Alzheimer's or any of those things. As is always the case, you hear more about the bad stuff and the bad people, and you tend to remember the bad things that happen more than the good ones. Lots of terrible, terrible things have happened in this field. This field has ALL of the elements of a potential disaster in the making. Tough work, terrible pay, little respect from outsiders, high injury/accident rate, few resources, little support from management/government, and still so many of them do a great job. I am always thankful and often frankly shocked that there are as many people who give their time and effort and concern to people with as many issues as these different groups have. If people truly understood what a service the average staff person does keeping these fragile, complicated, medically complex, sometimes very difficult people alive, they would be amazed. That's why I said I lubs my staff almost as much as I lubs my clients.
I wish everyone felt the same way about the field that I do because I am still always excited to go to work, even after all these years. And, on the selfish side, you get more reinforcement when your clients see you and light up and smile and reach out for you than you could get if you were President. You'll hear this again and again from the people who work in this field - THIS is what keeps good staff coming back for more, even with all the rough work and the terrible pay.
LOL ! :-). Nooooo
