Got emotionally numb, but felt a chill go down my spine. Patient had no face anymore basically. Nose and cheek/jaw was gone. I could see into their throat. Their eyes were stitched closed. Stitches all over their bloodies face. Damn… Felt so extremely bad for them. I couldn’t even imagine…
I am new to healthcare, been working at a level 1 trauma center for 4 months. I love helping people, but things like this can get to me sometimes. Had to take a long break afterwards. The ED can get pretty bloody pretty fast with the injuries coming in.
I am not even a doctor or nurse, I just work alongside them as a logistics role… So I suppose I am not completely used to it. Can’t help but feel helpless and sad for some of these patients though.
What do you usually do to calm yourself?
