The past 24 hours were one of the most trying moments in my career as a physician. Without delving into details, I saw life end right before my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of death between med school human gross anatomy and my intern year in residency.
But there was something last night that hit me especially hard. Even though everyone on the team, ER doc, intern, nurses, attending, consultants did everything they could possibly do, I feel like I lost a fight. Even worse was breaking the news to the family. Never have I felt so bad...
Today, I mourn. Even though I did not know you personally, I lost a part of me when you left. You will truly be missed by your family.
