Without a doubt, the most difficult part, as has been echoed recently by friends and colleagues all over social media, is not the technical aspects of complicated and high-risk traumas, it is the HUMAN aspect. The aspect of treating SOMEONE, not something. It is having to change your bloody scrubs before you go talk/treat your next patient or return to the patients you handed off quickly in order to attempt and save the next patients life. It is that moment you stand there as the doctor states, “does anyone else in the room have any other suggestions,” before calling the time of death and hoping you can come up with one thing that has not been attempted, before realizing there is nothing else to try. It is having to witness the families pain and grief after being informed their son/daughter is dead. It is that moment of sudden guilt/sorrow while filling out a death certificate as you fill in the lines one by one, row by row as the family is still processing the loss of a loved one. It is having to tell the families it is time to say goodbye well before they have even realized this is goodbye. It is standing at the sink after someone did not make it to wash your hands over and over again in order to get the blood off because there was no time to change the glove with a hole in it. Or simply, you did not even have time to notice there was a hole. The realization that it could have been your son, daughter, father, mother, brother, or sister who was shot because bullets do not care if you are black or white, rich or poor. No matter the circumstance, it is devastating to the health care team and we do it every single day! No matter who it is or reason why. In no way am I anti-gun, but I am anti-bullet hole! For everyone (including the #NRA) telling medical professionals to, “stay in their lane.” THIS IS OUR LANE! THIS IS OUR HIGHWAY AND THIS IS OUR EVERY DAY! #ThisIsOurLane #ThisIsMyLane #TraumaNurse #ERNurse #Nurse #Trauma #Emergency #BCENInstaCrew
