Franziska Böhler ist Krankenschwester – und Pflegeaktivistin. Mit ihrem Einsatz für bessere Bedingungen in der Pflege hat sie vielen aus dem Herzen gesprochen. Und doch gab es eine Zeit, in der sie nicht mehr weitermachen kann. Zu viel prasselt auf sie ein: Sie wird bewundert, um Rat gefragt, und sie wird kritisiert, beleidigt, bedroht. Franziska Böhler versucht allem gerecht zu werden, als Mutter von zwei Kindern, als Aktivistin und als Krankenschwestern. Sie versucht den Hass auszublenden, Kritik abperlen zu lassen – doch irgendwann ist das nicht mehr möglich.

From missing information and unexpected situations to smells that change you as a person and cups of tea that are never quite finished, Care Plans, Chaos & Cold Tea offers an honest, humorous look at life as a care worker.
