Yeah, sounds sadly familiar. Healthcare everywhere seems to be struggling with staffing these days. Understaffing leads to burnout, and that's definitely a thing across the board, not just in one particular area of @Hongkong. Whether there's a formal staff support program specifically at the Robert Black Health Centre... that's harder to say without inside knowledge. Lots of hospitals offer things like employee assistance programs (EAPs), but whether they're actually effective or utilized enough is another story. Your aunt's observation about overworked nurses is unfortunately pretty common, especially in busy urban hospitals. I'd hope they at least have decent break rooms and a staff social worker or counselor. It's a tough job.

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
