We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn't manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who's died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you're only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it's still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you've got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it's normal.
Medicine must be such a hard field on all three of my initial metrics.
youre a real one. respect
