Talk:Responder apathy syndrome
Article before I decided it needed more notability
Responder apathy syndrome (RAS) is a controversial psychological diagnosis that is not recognized by most physicians or psychologists[1]. Originally developed to explain the apathy seen in paramedics[2] and firefighters toward those calling for their help, the definition has generally been expanded to include nurses, respiratory therapists and other health care workers involved in direct patient care. Generally diagnosticians term the symptoms as generalized burnout[3] and ignore the occupation specific burnout termed RAS.
