Great work Doc! Really heart touching and tru...Wow! Great work Doc! Really heart touching and true to the word.<br /> Not many careers are simultaneously soul destroying and life affirming as medicine or nursing.Even as a student, I found it so hard to cope initially and my initial weeks of clinical posting were spent quietly crying in my mind on my way home from the hospital and being dumbfounded so as to how cruel and sad fates could befall innocent beings in the form of medical conditions and various critical illness.<br /> Even today as an RN in an ICU, when I face families of dying patients, I find it hard to muster enough strength to not shed a tear when the relatives break down.Every element of my workplace is laced with terrors of loved ones having to hear the news that their dad or mum or brother is in a critical condition and mere feelings of helplessness that we feel at that time.<br /> Rationalisation and logical analysis play no part in this nonsensical world. I can never fully seem to understand why death stealthily treads upon few people's path, presenting them with life threatening medical disorders or surgical interventions,no matter how much time I have spent in pondering it. Therefore I have found distraction and professional distance great enablers in allowing me to carry out my work.Great comfort can be derived when staff choose to busy themselves with tasks at hand, turning their minds to the banal and blessedly boring.Trying to have aloof feelings is not because of bluntness or cruelty but has arisen out of the need to self preserve. A smart tactical move in ICU as battlefield;necessary for not only our survival but our longevity too.<br /> But like all things in life,there is a balance;the horrid aspects of the job are somewhat balanced by the best parts of humanity.Everyday astounding moments happen;tender moments that make all the emotional baggage of the job worthwhile.Seeing a sick patient's eyes come to life when you talk reassuringly or a smile on a long ailing patient's face when you give tender loving care.The trump card is that inevitable moment when a patient replaces her silent and fearful stare with a flicker of recogniton and a smile when you walk into her room.There is surely nothing better than that. That's my endnote to your blog.<br /> Remember I have always told that you should attempt to take up writing, as a side career.High time that you gave some serious thought to that. Sure..looks like you have got talent. Keep writing!<br /> And if you happen to publish your first book,I don't mind you acknowleding me in the Courtesy section for being an inspiration.:)<br /> Waiting for your next blog!Tess Mathewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428814038018227042.post-71968207145404835902012-03-17T23:11:55.933-07:002012-03-17T23:11:55.933-07:00Simply superb dear!
