Seeing how much the world accepts that it’s impossible to move on after watching CPR really makes me think about how we (medical professionals, especially those who work in Emergency departments) are expected to just move on immediately after a code.
I see a lot of death at my job. A lot of very young, traumatizing deaths. But today, while I was saying goodbye to one life, another came to visit. A past patient once on the verge of death, now happy and healthy with a mom thankful for our care, reminded me why I do what I do ❤️
