Why do clinical staff need help?
“There I am, standing by the shore of a swiftly-flowing river, and I hear the sound of a drowning man. So I jump into the river, pull him to the shore and apply artificial respiration. Just as he starts to breath, another cry for help. So back into the river: pulling, applying, breathing then another yell. Again and again. You know, I’m so busy saving them, that I have no time to see who is upstream pushing them all in.” Dr I. K. Zola 1973
