Making that decision is never easy even when the patient who has coded twice in the last 2 hours is 91 and a retired nurse who has participated in countless codes and has for 20 years expressed a wish to all not to have heroic measures performed. Even when you expect to have to make that decision, it isn't easy to do. <BR/><BR/>We, as humans, do not want to let go of what we love. You, as a caring human, see it and feel it. If you ever find that you can face those situations without feeling then it might be good to consider a different line of work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34232734.post-55401707275390988242008-08-03T15:48:00.000-07:002008-08-03T15:48:00.000-07:00Clara...Pick up you keys and put your shoes on and...Clara...<BR/><BR/>Pick up you keys and put your shoes on and go for a walk and take a good look at nature, go people watching at the mall, go sit quietly in a Chapel and seek the strength that the Peaceful Quiet can bring but DO NOT simply crawl into bed, pull the covers up and fall into amnesic slumber for that accomplishes NOTHING.<BR/><BR/>Call a friend, share a quart of your favorite ice cream with an old chum, go sit in a park and laugh at the antics of the squirrels, Smell a few of the Roses along the way in order find the balance of Life to off-set the debt of Suffering that you struggle daily to eliminate.<BR/><BR/>As for not wanting to say good-bye to friends that are leaving -- THEN DON'T.<BR/><BR/>The internet makes them very close no matter where they go. A phone call can bring a cherised voice with in the reach of your ears. <BR/><BR/>In today's world there should be no good-byes but a last question of what's you e-mail address again and I will be talking to you soon. <BR/><BR/>Now, Clara, just where did you put those shoes and house keys???Miss Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441825597709556390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34232734.post-59744800742982513692008-08-03T10:31:00.000-07:002008-08-03T10:31:00.000-07:00Clara,You are never alone...Never!Just reach out a...Clara,<BR/><BR/>You are never alone...Never!<BR/><BR/>Just reach out and touch someone.K-Dubyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521926527381863273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34232734.post-29551243871282470142008-08-02T20:04:00.000-07:002008-08-02T20:04:00.000-07:00You are always alone, you care and that puts you f...You are always alone, you care and that puts you far from the maddening crowd of happy seekers. About the good-byes they are always "until we meet again's" even those that have died around me, I expect to meet again, they come to me often in my sleep. Sleep, they - the watchers will keep you safe, they will want your healing when they get hurt, and lots of us almost useless folks are hoping you will get some peace and fulfillment from your work and the wonders you see every day. God bless all your best, thank you.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794620086508373660noreply@blogger.com
