Spot on! Judging by your name you are Romanian just like me! I don t know about you but I came across this concept only after 1989 slightly and on a massive scale years later in the west! I will feature this topic in my series Naked truth as it is very important to talk freely about the many many layers of … burnout!

Very true. I was a paramedic for over a decade and burnout is the biggest killer of good field treatment (and sometimes medics too). It's easy to think that the work (EMS) should be meaningful, but unfortunately it so rarely is in the US. With EMS focus on either profit or liability, the medics get ran ragged running calls that don't require intervention. This repetitive nature leads to burnout and complacency. In the end, the medic starts treating all calls as if they are bullshit until proven otherwise. You can imagine what this leads to.

More work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!... This was playing over and over again in the world of "Command & Conquer: Renegade" (the only FPS in the C&C series, as far as I know).
