Especially after the pandemic malaise and mass exodus of good health care employees who felt burned out and underpaid.

Looks like the con-vid19 effects. Sorry.
Worst vertigo I got was after fainting and whacking my forehead on a thin carpet on cement floor. That took months to get really better.
I've fainted near 60 times. Mostly a belly issue. Sometimes I get a short bad spurt of spinning, either going down or coming to.
I've had gall stone attacks too. First I get glassy-eyed. So I soon head for the couch. Then I get various amounts of pain for a few hours. Happened twice at work.
