Now imagine having a job where you have to do CPR and try to resuscitate dying people all day and then they don’t make it and then you have to keep going into the next one anyway and everyone tells you diseases aren’t real and vaccines are a conspiracy. Yup. We go back to work.
I often forget that as a #healthcare provider #CPR is just a part of the job to me and seeing it isn’t traumatic...we’re unique and for everyone else, it is horrifying for laypersons to see it actually occur
As an ER doc, I can 100% tell you that after cardiac arrest, CPR and defibrillation (AED), there is no way any provider will say Damar Hamlin is ‘okay’ anytime soon.
Cancel the game @NFL. Let people be together.
Once came back from working multiple traumas to be yelled and cussed at by my pt and the family because I had been gone and they hadn’t eaten yet IN THE ER…. Walked right back out of the room…
This shit should not be happening. Why is it seen as acceptable to society to attack us when you show up at our facilities needing our help? We don’t come force you to come in. This has to stop!!! Prayers to this nurse and their coworkers 💔
PSA
Taking an EMS to the ER does not ensure you will be seen/placed in a room faster than waking in. If you’re stable you will go to the waiting room with the other stable patients.
Please do not abuse EMS services bc you think otherwise.
