The resident at my mental health appt said we need to be careful about giving me a prescription for prn anxiety meds *because* I’m a nurse.

Because. I’m. A. Nurse.

Ma’am... I’ll have to disagree.

(Don’t want to sound like I’m bashing residents or MDs, not my intention 💙)
Like does this same logic get applied to engineers? Truck drivers? Teachers? Etc etc?
I don’t get it.

The reasons for the anxiety aside, the focus on what my career is as the reason for NOT giving medications. That is what I can’t comprehend.
I shoulda just been like oh ok my last day is Friday the 13th and I’ll still have anxiety then, so write script for the 14th? 😂
