Having known several healthcare workers with PTSD from the pandemic I strongly disagree.

Granted, the pandemic was traumatizing for people from all walks of life but I don't envy hospital based nurses or doctors from that time.

It was so painful for nurses that many quit leading to a shortage that'll likely go on for the next decade as a result.

Some of that is due to corporate healthcare enshittification but there was a mass exodus during the pandemic for a reason.
