It was a long, sad, and draining day at the hospital. I wouldn't consider myself a religious person but today I did something I've never done for a patient and their family. I prayed.
Wishing for a miracle or at least for their strength to endure.
It's finally hit me after 4 years in med school about how real this all is. I can only find more thanks in what I have and the great people I have around me. Thanks K for the post-shift distraction! :)
