courage

ive read wot happen to u the past week. first thing, i think ure job is really important, i admire people who have the courage to help others, i couldnt in a million years do wot u do, not bcus i dont want but bcus id get obsessed thinking about all the bad things that unfortunatly happen to people, especially children, after i had my son, i became even more sensitive to this kind of stuff, my mom died last year, and its been really hard to get over, i got depressed and almost lost it for a while. im fine now....

u need to know that the world needs people like u, becus of people like me. u need to have the courage to face and pick up the pieces of disgrace, and if u dont go crazy at the end of the day, consider ureself lucky.

SO THANK U FOR HAVING THE COURAGE IT NEEDS....

Thank you.  As I said, it has not discouraged me from the job in any way. This event took place the second hour of my shift. I was able to go on without skipping a beat. I posted this as a way to help me debrief myself from what I saw. I can go from treating a child, to doing C.P.R, then right to an elderly patient that wants some one to talk to. As I said, we are not always prepared for what we see. Going into a call blind, you try to prepare for the worst. The problems is, you never can. So I take it as it comes and for the bad calls, the ones the haunt or disturb you, you need to find a way to get it out or it will drive you crazy.

Thanks for the support.
