I just realized it has been nearly 12 months since I posted on this. Time has flown. 12 months in a foreign country......It's amazing what you become accustomed to and desensitize yourself to when you are just trying to get by. Doing a residency, is to me like treading water. I'm just trying to survive until it's all over. There are very many things you come to accept when you know they are wrong because you are concentrating so much on just staying afloat yourself. I looked it up this morning.....It's known as 'diffusion of responsibility' part of 'the bystander effect phenomenon'. It's you knowing that something is wrong but not doing anything about the situation because you figure someone more qualified will take some responsibility or ownership and do something about the goings on.........The problem for me and the frustration I have is that no one does. So what do you do ?
Truth about it is I don't know!! Edmund Burke once wrote "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Here are the scenarios for you to consider:
1. You do nothing and continue the cycle that was there long before you arrived and let history repeat itself......
2. You mention it to someone...Someone who has more power and responsibility than you. Problem is when they do nothing what do you do??
3. You do something....It has the potential to cost you a lot personally and professionally.......
WHAT do you do??
