"Compassion fatigue" is a very common situation for people working in the healthcare industry. Veterinarians and other healthcare workers are often exposed directly to patients who have suffered traumas, thus, <u><em>they would feel the exhaustion of sympathizing with them.</em></u> This will result to diminished feelings of sympathy or care on their end. They will become<em> more resistant when it comes to helping people in the future</em>. This is <em><u>the cost of being overly exposed to care for people.</u></em>
