    I told every single person who would listen to me, in every department, my exact reasons for quitting the month I was getting ready to give my 2 weeks, after working as an aide 4.5 years for the position I was fully licensed for. They paid for out-of-state per-diem techs for over a year. One was a self-hating Indian Trump fanatic from Charlottesville (literally) who got fired for hitting on patients and napping mid-shift, and then they hired a girl who was 3 years younger than me (who took off mid-shift to get shit-faced, and I had to cover an emergency case while I waited for her drunk ass to drive the hour back), all instead of giving me the time of day, once.

    It was convenient for the hospital to have an overqualified and underpaid person, I realized. And I told that to every single person as I left. I went with my middle finger raised high.

    I'm not in the med field whatsoever anymore. Didn't even renew my damn licenses I worked my ass off, years to get. Just had such a chip on my shoulder, I don't think I could ever work for something as evil as the US medical system.

    I did MRIs. If you want to know about elderly patient torture for the sake of exam completion, all you need to do is get a mic in those rooms. Meanest people I've ever met.

      Not that you need anyone else's approval, but I'm proud of you for quitting that job!

        The techs, obviously. They would ridicule patients for being claustrophobic or large on the regular.
