Oh the memories reading this brought back. I started in Peds ICU, and during those 12 years had many many instances of codes/expected passings (we took care of Peds oncology patients at the time), unexpected passing (one little heart kid who was to be transferred to the floor 2 days post op passed really unexpectedly--sudden cardiac death sucks)...yeah, could probably write volumes myself on this. But it’s like ripping an old scar open that I thought had healed.
