That's so touching. Shout out to the ER doctor who called me and kindly told me that my mother had died and stayed on with me while I sobbed. Until then, I never really thought about that being part of their job.

I was a resident working the ICU during peak pandemic. I remember families said goodbye to their loved ones through an ipad. I was trying so hard to hold back crying behind my faceshield and mask when I was in the room.

I’m a trauma surgeon and I know exactly what this person is feeling. It’s a lump in your gut that’s tearing you apart. You feel helpless, incompetent, scared and angry all at once. I always have this strange thought that I wish I could turn back time so I could get another chance to help. Even if you know it’s futile, you try to think of every single thing you could have done different.
