Burnt Out: When we become so tired of something that we no longer want to do it anymore-we become “burnt out”! When this happens-we no longer care!!! Doctors become “burnt out”!!! It is do hard to find a caring doctor who loves helping others to become better more than they love earning money! So when Doctors do work hard and watch other Doctors slack and earn the same amount of money-they sometimes become “burnt out”! Other Doctors become “burnt out” when they earn enough money that they no longer need to work to buy the luxuries that they want! Doctors become “burnt out” from the long hours, loss of sleep and by repeatedly being criticized far more than they are appreciated-a THANK you goes a long way when you don’t hear it very often! The result of Doctors or others becoming “burnt out” is that it affects other people far more than it affects them! People who are “burnt out”- want out!!! They become tired of fighting and lose interest in what they are doing! A Doctor who becomes “burnt out” can take time out for themselves and do something they enjoy or find a new profession-otherwise, they will spread an uncaring spirit! Just a different prospective can make a world of difference to not just ourselves-but even to those around us! To avoid becoming “burnt out”-we need to take “time out”!!! I became “burnt out” today! I appeared at the Hospital bright and early and I signed in for my cat scan-honestly, I cannot count high enough in the amount of cat scans I have had-seriously! While I waited for my little beeper flashing light thing-a-ma-jig (LOL) to sound off-I realized I didn’t want no more dye, no more radiation just to find out how much my Scleroderma has progressed in the last few months! I am not having a double lung transplant-so really what is the purpose? I know I have pulmonary hypertension and pleurisy-so why add more worry and burden myself down when there is nothing they can do for me no matter what they find? I am “burnt out” with cat scans!!! I am tired of feeling like fire is dripping off my tongue, raging down my legs and like I am urinating on myself because of dye during cat scans! For those who think Hell is the place to be and where the party is at-I urge you to get dye ran-just to get the smallest tiniest idea of your body burning inside! It is not pleasant! My kidneys don’t function the best and the dye can stay in my kidneys causing more damage! Radiation from a cat scan will not cause cancer, but if you have about seven or eight a year-every year-it sure ain’t healthy! Anyway, I did not register and get admitted-instead-I had decided otherwise when I was summoned to the counter and I told the nice lady that I was going to cancel and enjoy my day! I became “burnt out” and it affected others more than me! Here is how: I try to see the positive in a situation, so I saved about $4000.00-although the Hospital lost-it sure won’t hurt them like it would have us! Every patient that had an appointment after me will get in a few minutes earlier! But I left feeling the happiest I have in many years and everyone I met was greeted with kindness and I made it a point to speak to strangers just to hope to be an encouragement! Yes, I will most likely have cat scans in the future, but just not today! I did not rush as usual today and I was in no hurry to get home! I spoke to people I otherwise would have never even noticed and went places I normally don’t have time too! Spouses become “burnt out” too! There are a number of reasons why-such as: having to make an appointment just to get to visit with one another only to be canceled at the last minute time after time can cause a marriage to “burn out”! Promises that are broken more than they are kept can cause a marriage to “burn out”! When lies are heard far more than truth-it can cause a marriage to “burn out”! When hobbies become the number one priority and the spouse becomes number two and time together isn’t as important as “me” (yourself) time-it can cause a marriage to “burn out”! When the only communication the couple has is watching television together (in other words-make believe is more interesting than reality)-it causes a marriage to “burn out”! When the desire for one another begins to fade-it causes a marriage to “burn out”! Remember, “burnt out” means that you want out-you really don’t care anymore! So before you become “burnt out” with yourself, your spouse, your kids, your sickness, your Doctors, your friends, your job or even your Church-take time out-get focused-pray and life will be sweeter spending it with others with joy in your heart and a smile on your face! It is so easy to become “burnt out” when going to Church with hypocrites,(Some people think God gives out Academy Awards for acting or at least they would win if He did)-in fact, God wants no action from our lips or bodies if it is not sincerely from the heart! We become “burnt out” watching others glorify themselves rather than God-He doesn’t need talent-He just needs a willing heart! We become “burnt out” when the preacher is guiltier of the word of God than the lost sinner! We become “burnt out” when the preacher-preaches around his buddies and thinks he sweeps sin under the rug-rest assured-God will eventually pull the rug out and nothing will be hidden! We become “burnt out” when we feel God is not answering our prayers-unanswered prayers are always a blessing in disguise-we just have to be patient even when we don’t understand! “Burnt out” is just another term for giving up-just don’t care anymore, so when you feel the symptoms coming on-start praying, change your perspective and your attitude, find the positive in life and dwell on it no matter how small and I guarantee you will have a better day! The receptionist called my Doctor to assure me of the importance of the cat scan, but I am not “burnt out” or giving up on life because I am so sick-I just became “burnt out” on cat scans and I was discouraged knowing I would only hear bad news so I made my day special through THANKing God for another day of life and enjoying it! The receptionist had to smile at me and she didn’t know what to say, but when you become ”burnt out” with life-find something you care about and you want and go for it with God’s blessing! Because I left the Hospital believing God had me there at that very moment for a reason I may never know, but I was not going to leave there the same way I came-even if that meant no cat scan and my trip wasn’t wasted-I had a great day!!! So before you throw away your Doctor, your marriage, your job or your life because you have become “burnt out”-make sure that it isn’t just because you need some time out instead of that you really don’t care! Remember, become “burnt out” only on things that are weighing you down, not on things or people that you have the opportunity to lift up! Give that hateful, non-caring Doctor a THANK you for something and watch their attitude change! When you want to knock your spouse to their senses (LOL), instead give them the kindest words even when you feel they don’t deserve it and it will make a difference! When your kids make you so angry that you want to pull your hair out and scream, instead give them a hug and pet them and you will make a difference! So what I am trying to say with my many words is that if you simply try to make a difference-in not just your day-but someone else’s day-you won’t ever feel “burnt out”-instead you will always care and never give up!!! Now that I have learned my lesson-I need to reschedule my appointment for a cat scan because the truth is I wasn’t “burnt out” on the cat scans so much as I didn’t want to hear more bad news! But greater is He that is in me-than He that is in the world!!! We must never “burn out” on God and believing; because although people may fail us-God never fails us!!! And God always cares and He never becomes “burnt out” on us no matter how many times we fail Him!!! God never gives up on us!!! God’s love for us will never “burn out”!!!
