I guess anyone could consider whatever they did in their working years as the "worst" job of all. I know I have seen horrible sights and suffering and have have done extremely painful things to people. However, I consider myself to be of the luckiest people around. I have always thought of my profession as a "calling". Not in a religious sense but in the human element. I consider it an honor to have been given the brains and determination to help mankind. Even when faced with dreadful situations and exhaustion until I thought I'd drop and was emotionally drained, I still could say to myself....."self, you are a good person and did what few others could or would do - so be happy that you were there for that person".
I don't have a single regret for my life's work. I did everything to the best of my capabilities and then some. In every (sometime just awful) situations I was there - never said I couldn't manage....I just did it (even if I went in another room to puke).
I am truly at peace with my life.
