I was struggling a bit with the stress of it all when COVID-19 first hit, working with people who were stressed; I took a lot of that on board, and it was all beginning to get to me after 35 years... By the time I got to my last day in the practice, I was pretty sure that I wanted to finish up and I was happy to get to the end of it.
