Sure it is. They'll think it's just a fever dream and forget it in five minutes flat. And the medical staff's dead on their feet so they'll chalk it up to dream or nightmare.
There's a line between worrying enough and walking around half-dead on your feet, and I think nearly everyone in medical has crossed it. Not that I expect you to do any different.

Tell you what. Don't tell me not to be thinking about the plenty of people who are overworking, and it's two drinks on me instead of just one. Not telling you to stop. Just saying I'm gonna be aware.
