And the last straw, actually, I had been complaining about things, and the last straw was I wrote, this patient that's being admitted to our service, I wrote this in the electronic medical record, has been on a proton pump inhibitor called Prevacid for eight years when the package insert clearly says six months to one year. And I wrote that in the chart.

And I'm kind of knee jerk reactive sometimes, especially when I don't feel the ethics align with me. And I said, OK, I quit. I didn't have a husband. I didn't have kids.
