Try working in healthcare. Forty years for me and Iβve basically ruined my back and knees, plus having stress induced digestive problems. Iβve been hit, punched, kicked, bit, and verbally abused more times than I can count. I think I deserve to retire. π‘
Teacher. And same.

You forgot to mention the daily abuse by administrators whose 1st question after you've been assaulted is " what did you do to contribute to this outcome and what could you do differently?" Had this asked of me before I could go to ER to have a bleeding wound above my eye attended to and sutured.
So sorry to hear this. Only people in healthcare truly understand how dangerous it is and how much the Powers That Be only care about protecting the organization. π‘
I had a coworker trip and fall onto her humerus & shatter it. They made her sit in the ER for eight hours without pain meds, while they investigated to see if she was impaired at the time of injury. She was two years from retirement, they were looking for any excuse to not cover the injury.
Thatβs awful. You devote your life helping others and then get that crap! π‘
