Compassion fatigue is what is said to occur when health professionals become "too tired to care." This insiders' perspective on compassion fatigue is framed with the metaphor of "lying down in the snow." If suffering is imagined as ever-falling snow, then the need for resources for safe journeying in "winter country" becomes apparent.
