Healthcare workers — nurses, doctors, ER staff, administrators — we need to talk. If you’ve watched The Pitt with Noah Wyle and felt that “pit” in your stomach? That’s not drama. That’s lived experience. Emergency department overcrowding. Hospital staffing shortages. Violence against healthcare workers. PTSD in nurses and physicians. Administration sending pizza instead of protection. As a former hospital CEO and Regional VP of Operations turned healthcare disruptor, I tried to fix the system from the inside. The burnout crisis in healthcare is real. The staffing crisis is real. The private equity/health insurance takeover of hospitals is real. Ever decreasing reiumbursements and ever increasing denials leading to building frustrations, far tighter budgets, and less and less support for frontline healthcare workers. And if we don’t start saying it out loud? There’s no hope for change. If you work in healthcare: 👉 What was your “pizza instead of protection” moment? 👉 What would real hospital leadership support actually look like? 👉Are you still in the trenches, and if so why? Drop it in the comments. Share this with someone still working in an emergency department or hospital system. Let’s stop whispering about a broken healthcare system and frontline healthcare worker’s burnout and start disrupting it!! Who’s in?? #thepitt #healthcare #nurse #ceo #leadership
