I can handle a lot of nasty things, but Tink, I couldn't do that!

I admire you, Tink. That is TRUELY putting someone else before yourself.

I know alot of you have said you couldn't do it but when you are faced with the situation & know what you should do, you react first & think later. I think the hardest part of the medical field is holding someone's hand & being strong while they die. You do it without thinking but after they are gone & you have cleaned & prepared the body, that's when you lose it. I would go outside & cry everytime. I thought you would lose this as you got more used to it. I only did it for about 6 yrs but I never did. Every death still affected me that way. I'm sorry she didn't make it Tink. I hope you know you did everything you could & tried your best.

When my mom was little, 4 or 5 she was out playing in the play house (actually build out of wood not a plastic one) & stepped on a nail (she was wearing shoes). It went through the shoe, through her foot & out the top. My grandma heard her screaming & had to go pull her off the board. Believe it or not.

Right Traci!
The clinical training takes over and you just do it. There were many times I went home and fell apart after, but I never fell apart at the scene. What was reallly hard was that living in a rural area that I'd grown up in, I did know many of my patients or their families. The absolute hardest though was when a child would die. Those always hurt the most and longest.

My dad had been in the hospital for a few days. I was visiting him on Wednesday He said the angels were with him and he was going home on Monday. I said yeah Dad your going home. He no I really mean it, I am going home on Monday.
Since, we promised him he would not die in the hospital we brought him hom on Saturday. On Monday he went home to the lord, just like he said. |
