Unreal reality

[clintswan]

Last night I was involved in a trauma on a kiddo that had a gunshot wound to teh orehead inflicted by his father. This was posted in Dallas news so I am not breaking any laws.

I was horrified to be apart of this incident.

The worse part was that this boy's appearance looked very simliar to a movie makeup job.

Then I was taken aback that we actually have "real" dead people in the movies these days..

It has taken me 2 days to post this as I have een repressing this visual information.

And I guess I can't cry anymore after the New York/DC attacks...

I don't know if I am dealing with this really really well or really really badly.

I guess we'll find out in the next couple of days.

Clint:

We give a damn about how you're functioning. The debrief doesn't sound like it's done much for you - if that's the case, take it further. I don't know what options there are in your hospital, but there have to be some. Caring's one of the things that we have to do. If we shut down and "burnout" then we can't do that. Take care of yourself matey. Take it further. I know your employers should have something to help you.

And keep in touch.
