    Idk if my boss gives me a schedule with unreasonable timelines and deliverables, I tell him, and we talk about it, and we get it fixed. If it keeps happening, I’ve found new work.

    Maybe the medical industry has systematic issues that can’t be resolved, but everyone should have some autonomy

      The problem is that doctors and more broadly care workers have a hard time walking away from their job because, you know, they care for people that they would leave in a worse situation if they left.

      It’s not an industry, it’s a public service (I’m in France). Also they’re saving lives.
      If she walks away, that’s one fewer ob/gyn in a region where they have almost none left in the private sector (the last one in town retired this year). Women and children will quite literally die and she knows it.

      On the other hand that means she’s more valuable and surely she should negotiate her salary from a position of strength, right?

      But the set of people who become doctors and who negotiate with “would be too bad if something happened to women and children” is, as far as I know, empty.
      If any exist, I don’t think they’d last the twenty odd years of studying and training before they start making bank. Much simpler and faster to become a gangster.
