That sucks.
I'm back in the ICU. Not as a med student, but as a resident. And the same old issue(s) keeps coming up. End of Life issues. And the disconnect present between patients/families and physicians. I hate watching people "circle the drain" and being mostly helpless, knowing they are a FULL code w/ little chance of survival, regardless of if we even run a code on them. Thanks for giving me the chance to precipitate your (family member's) death by giving you a lot of QUALITY chest compressions in a futile effort to save you.
