doing the heavy lifting
... we forget to give proper regard to those actually doing the heavy lifting.
e.g.
As a result, large corporations and even school systems have morphed into very non-human large entities and have forgotten that those actually doing the heavy lifting are human beings with diverse and individual needs!

We are free to blame the federal government, third party payors, and even patients for our problems. In the end, it’s wasted energy without salient action. Those actually doing the heavy lifting for our profession are too busy to complain.

I just thought that it was about time I received the worldwide attention I so desperately crave, um, I mean deserve, um, I mean work so hard for -- by HELPING OTHERS just like I did for the people of Vieques. It's weird that wherever I seem to go, I BECOME THE STORY and those actually doing the "heavy lifting" get shoved to the back of the bus.
