Yes it was a hard call.. I have have done so many.. I found this one to be the hardest due to it being the first pedi trauma code i have done since the birth of my son... I will say the best thing to happen to this field since I got on was the creation of CISD Teams.. Tey help the work.. Use them..

you never forget the worst of calls, but it is important to learn from them and grow as a provider. Talking about it with other providers that were there is also good.

Remember that you are important and taking care of your needs after the call must be a priority. Never be ashamed to ask for help if you feel that you need it!

Sorry to hear you had to see that. That is the unfair thing about this job....we have to see what no other human being should have to see. They never get any easier but at least they are rare and this is about the worst you will have to deal with.

If you need to chat, let me know. God bless you "Brother".
