Bringing Out the Dead Assignment
I am having a hard time deciding on if Frank is a hero or a zero. At certain points in the movie he could be one of the two.

He also follows up on his patients, truly concerned on the well-being and outcome. That to me is a hero.

    Skovholt (2008) introduces the definition of burnout in this chapter of his book The resilient Practitioner and explains why it is critical to the therapeutic relationship to avoid it. He begins by defining “compassion fatigue” from Figley (1995. p.7) as the behaviors and emotions resulting from knowing about a traumatic event experienced by someone else and the resulting stress from wanting to or helping this person. Compassion fatigue is further distinguished from “burnout” by stating that it involves higher levels of helplessness and isolation from a support network than burnout.
