Over the years, working both as a Paramedic and Nurse, I have seen, experienced, and done a lot. There are many ups and downs in this chosen field... I guess that is why, after a total of 27 years of doing it, I am still here and committed to continuing in it.
The other night, I cared for a patient that suffered a trauma. Struck by a car. Multiple injuries, all life threatening by definition... life ending by experience.
An enormous amount of resources were put into motion to treat and provide care for this patient. I will not get into the details; however, I am amazed, proud, and appreciative of how well my peers worked together! Everything that needed to happen, happened. It was all quick, completed, and done.
As we were returning to the ED from CT...
I noticed a single teardrop fall from my patient's eye.
I caught it with my finger, layed my hand upon there forehead, closed there eyes, and silently prayed...
Peace.
