For sure! It was definitely soul crushing, watching what very little hope people had being quashed by the ridiculousness that is US healthcare system. There were many times where we'd call to collect from patients and we'd speak with loved ones who told us that the patient ended up killing themselves shortly after discharge.
What's even more infuriating is that my coworkers and I made about $16/hr while our CEO raked in $150k+ a year.
