Many people think that Christmas stress is about the Christmas rush, or is experienced when you made a lot of preparation for the Yuletide Season, like the food, decorations, and in choosing for the perfect presents to be given to every member of the household, or to your friends. For some of us we aren’t so lucky as for our main source of stress to be what goes around the pre it christmas wreath, but a lot of other considerations. But for us doctors, Christmas stress never ends when the clock strikes twelve, and the 26th of December was marked on the calendar. For doctors the holidays last 365 days a year, or really the holiday stress follows us everywhere.
The holidays are about hope and giving life. Doctors like me are changing lives everyday, when we deal with our patients. We make them happy, especially if we can detect hope for their illness. Doctors do everything in their power to make clients feel better, when when recovery is near impossible, we just do our best to help them accept their situation and make them make the best out of the time they have left.
That’s why all the days of the year are like Christmas, and it really does make for a lot of stress on ones person, it’s a major thing when you’re being part of someone’s last breath. It gets really hard some times to be tough in front of someone who is dying, and all that you can really do is be sympathetic, or most of the time just letting them be with family is best. This is the reason why being a doctor can overload one with stress. It’s true when I say that holiday stress can be very different when you’re a doctor, because you can’t run away from it, it becomes a part of everyday normal life. So this year when you’re sitting around the lighted christmas garland just relax and think it could be worse.
