FMLA ?
I’m burnt out. I’ve been practicing two years. Just switched jobs 8 months ago to a hospital outpatient clinic due to better benefits, friends working there, and actual opportunity for growth. I am a pelvic therapist and a lot of my work requires hands on with patients. I can’t always finish notes POS. I am always having to take work home and feel just exhausted by everything. I don’t get paid more for this and my productivity is measured up against people that have the option to finish notes while a patient is warming up on the bike. I see patients ever. 45 minutes and feel like I can’t see 10 patients in a day without feeling completely exhausted like I want to do nothing but rot in bed all night. I was thinking of taking 6 weeks off to reset my nervous system ? Has anyone taken time off for this purpose to reset goals and nervous system to be able to treat patients better? Right now I feel like I’m in a constant panic attack and not sleeping. I’m not sure if I can carry on like this but everyone is acting like this is totally normal. I guess I’ll take any advice at this point.
