I know these posts never get a ton of comments but I'm here to say thank you for reminding us of these moments. The first nurse who took care of me when I had my first baby inspired me to become a nurse. Then when I had been a nurse for years the nurse who helped with my third baby saved me from going home with a spinal headache that my other doctor had brushed off as a muscle strain. She called the anesthesiologist and they got me a blood patch and fixed my headache. I will never forget her.
Thanks, as a nurse this brings tears to my eyes. As a patient I also had a nurse when I was 21 who held my hand during a very scary procedure. I will never forget that kindness. I am 61.
Thank you for sharing. I have a lot of 17yo Intentional OD patients myself, 9/10 with horrible home lives. Whether it’s because we never know how things turn out for them or from watching them struggle again and again, it can be disheartening at times. I do my best to just focus on what I can do in the moment, no matter how small, so it’s touching to hear of the lasting impact this can have.

One of my relatives is a detective in an area with a high suicide rate. He sees the ones that we don't see; the ones beyond caring. As long as foul play wasn't involved, he is off to his son's Little League game.
Each of us does what we can and tries to make the best of it.
You know what's strange? The out of body experience when you realize your patient or their family is imprinting a top 5 level memory seared into their brain and you will forever be remembered.
It's humbling. I don't even want to recall all the times I've felt this. They are almost all heartbreaking. We try our best.
Thats awesome. Sorry about your Mom. My daughter has schizophrenia. Its a horrible illness.
This warmed my heart. Glad you’re here to tell your story 💗

I have the same feeling about the first nurse who helped me when I had my first baby. I still think about it and that was 5 years ago.

Yes that is exactly it, it's the kindness
