A short thread related to a tough day. 1/ 13 years ago today, I had an unforgettable experience that has stuck with me to this day. I was sitting and praying quietly in church during service when someone came in the side door of and screamed, “John, please come outside now!“
There are certain people you cared for professionally who you never forget. And regrets, sometimes, for actions that could have been more skillfully taken. There are certain events that bring all that back. #ThirdDegreeBurns #ThoseWeCarry @thosewecarry
Remembering one of the greatest influences, closest friends, and smartest minds I’ve ever known. 7 yrs since Jack left us. There isn’t a single shift that goes by where I don’t remember something he taught me. Missing the adventures. Cherishing the memories. @thosewecarry
As a small, blonde person I don’t really want to get typecast but I have spoken to a few people who have been having flashbacks etc recently and I don’t think we are really taught much about handling trauma and the received wisdom is absent when rotating often/less of a firm
These are the things we carry, as ER docs & nurses & techs. (And I promise you, your loved ones do not die alone.) 💔 by @clshenvi sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Doesn’t your heart just drop when you come in and see new names on the board in certain rooms? Patients we’ve cared for for weeks… but you know they didn’t improve enough in 2-3 days to go to the floor or LTAC 😔 If you know, you know… #COVIDICU #thosewecarry
Gregg coming though with another story of #ThoseWeCarry. While not every first responder is diagnosed with PTSD, if you do it long enough, you end up with memories and some demons.
Every 'patient' is a person. This thread from @drkatemiller is deeply moving. Thanks @AnnettaMallon for tagging me. #COVID19 @thosewecarry
(1) Just recently had a loved one get into a serious car accident and end up in the neuro icu. Usually I’m calm and collected when it comes to seeing people in such critical condition but my stomach turned & my hands began to sweat seeing him for the first time. I’m so familiar-

Maybe because I speak with vulnerability about everything from fetal loss to my own medical trauma to the huge psychological toll of this past year, I am often asked how I choose what to share. The cost of sharing so to speak. A thread 1/
Sometimes, we carry them for good reasons. But it hits us just as hard.

@iceman_ex @TharushaGunawa4 @thosewecarry @browofjustice What a beautiful perspective. Same as Tharusha I’ve never thought of them in that way. It completely changes it from a burden to carry to a privilege. That has completely changed my outlook, thank you

10/ I do have faith that my friend is in a better place. I hope you all have that faith as well. #MarchSeventh Fin
9/ I also pray for all of us who have racked up these traumas over the years. Prayers for strength. Prayers for healing. Prayers for grief stricken families. 😢🙏🏼
8/ Despite having been in these situations countless times in my career, this one still sticks w me. Reason says there was nothing else to do, but his family hoped for a miracle that I couldn’t help to provide. I cry a little every year on this anniversary.
7/ I knew that my buddy had a severe ischemic cardiomyopathy in addition to being on long-term hemodialysis & was not a Transplant candidate, so I made the call to stop resuscitation. I walked to the waiting room to see scared but hopeful faces on his family & our Church fam
6/ the next time we got a pulse back, we got him into the rig and raced to the hospital that was about 15 minutes away from her our church. We continued ACLS protocols the whole way, and for an additional hour once we arrived at the ED
After I tired from compressions, and we switched, and after a couple of failed intubation attempts by the EMS crew, I took over, trying to establish an airway, while ACLS protocols continued. This was one of the toughest airways I’ve ever experienced, so I placed an LMA 5/
4/ on two or three occasions, we did get a weak pulse to return only for him shortly after to return to VT/Vfib multiple rounds of protocol driven ACLS were provided, but again only with very short episodes where he would return to sinus tachycardia with a weak pulse
3/ he was pulseless with agonal respirations so I notified the bystander friends to call 911 and immediately started CPR EMS arrived promptly, but my friend’s ICD went off multiple times while I was doing compressions, so I was getting mild shocks along w him.
2/ I could definitely tell by the tone of voice that something was bad and I sprinted across the church and out the door. I saw one of my very good church friends laying in the parking lot unresponsive with agonal respirations. I sprinted over to him
A short thread related to a tough day. 1/ 13 years ago today, I had an unforgettable experience that has stuck with me to this day. I was sitting and praying quietly in church during service when someone came in the side door of and screamed, “John, please come outside now!“
