Dr. Chris Luke reflects on the phrase “Check your privilege!!!” and his own experiences in the healthcare system. He discusses his struggles with burnout and the impact of a siege mentality from working in emergency departments. Luke describes his recent hospital experience, highlighting the efficiency, care, and positive atmosphere he encountered in a private hospital. He questions whether the high standards and rigor seen in private healthcare were lost in the public system due to clerical abuse scandals. Despite his privileges, Luke acknowledges the importance of social justice and excellence in public service, while recognizing the positives in the Irish healthcare system.
