A Fleeting Thought

We are responsible for giving consumers their medicines, and if we miss one of their "meds," we get written up and disciplined. However, I have two medications that I am supposed to take, and many times I forget to take my meds. It just makes me think of how many things that consumers don't have choices about, even if they think they do, or we as employees think they do. Yes, they have the right to refuse their meds, but they also have someone documenting if they do so. Same with work: I can call into work if I'm feeling ill, but none of the consumers can. Some of them cannot even take a nap if they're tired. Sometimes this just gets me down and I wanted to get it off my chest.
