This was lovely. I particularly resonate with this line
"The ones who are very stressed seem to suffer mainly at the hands of email – they fear the horrible little notification sound which augurs more work or a fresh beratement of some description."
I do think the time is changing hence our generation's expectations. What our parents didnt have then was the connection between what they do and their life meaning. My parents work at the same place their entire life too and have no problems with it. The job allows them to make a living and raise their children, etc. But we now demand more than that and the traditional mode of work couldn't provide that to us just yet...
It's incredible how many people want out of medicine as fast as possible. It stopped being fun years ago. Covid broke anything rewarding in medicine.
I think Covid was the straw that broke the camel's back for many
