Zumba classes my backside...

Genuine stress is underestimated and can be a killer, either suddenly or gradually. Zumba won't cure it, changing working practices, decent pay rates and being valued for the job they do would help. Trained nurses in particular have an absurdly low pay rate given the amount of responsibility they have; they are now carrying out procedures which only Dr's used to do and leading clinics . Being a woman dominated profession and not going on strike hasn't helped. They have been taken advantage of by successive governments and taken for granted by the public. No wonder they are stressed and there are recruitment problems.
