God bless you Dr Leap - for sharing your wisdom, scars and guidance. I am a father of 6, soon to have grandchild #16, married to my best friend ... love my family deeply, with all that I have. 20+ years in the ER. Recently took care of pediatric GSW to head, horrible injuries. Intubated, stabilized - I work at a critical access hospital, patient coded en route to Tertiary Care center, EMS came back to us as per protocol, closest facility - coded the patient for awhile, got them back thanks to the grace of God. Weather prevented flight - patient made it to Level I center. I did my job, my mentor taught me my job is to give my patient the best chance of walking out my ER - do your job, do whatever is necessary for your patient, run through a wall for your patient ..... 15 minutes after patient leaves after running peds trauma code - i pick up the next chart, put that ped patient in a box and I put it away in the corner of the attic in my mind. Echo and support so very much your thoughts on counseling for those of us that do this every single day - I don't need a pizza, just need to talk about it sometimes. Thank you for everything you do all of us everyday --- Chris

I like, but I don't like those not having those needed.
