Those providing health care are the least healthy workforce
People become healthcare workers to help people. They study hard, know all the facts, read all the medical journals, and learn all the diseases and how to treat them. They take, live by, and practice medicine by a sworn oath. Becasue of their career choice and time they've invested in a foundation built on health and wellness, you would think these individuals would make their personal health a priority. You might have to think again.
