( 11:43 AM ) shut up christine
random thoughts
one of my patients is about to die
it shook me a little bit, the speed at which he declined
just a few days ago he was joking and laughing with me
i've never had the "not on my shift" mentality - i mean obviously do no harm but you can't save everyone
sometimes all you can do is support them as they die
be present for them and their families, as best as you can
the trauma surgeons at our hospital (and maybe trauma surgeons in general?) are notoriously aloof
they're like their own breed of aliens
their social skills are shit
i wonder if that's what happens to you when you've seen so many people die in front of you
