i have a patient who was very sick on the 2nd post operative day after her heart surgery a few days earlier
her condition started to worsen and eventually,
the surgeon prepare the parent and relatives for the worst
i did my 1st last office today.
~~~~~~~~~~
her parent and all her relatives came to see her knowing that we will pull out all her life support today
discussion was done yesterday about giving the patient another 24 hours to fight for herself
if her condition did not get better,
we have to let go..
parent agreed after a long struggle to accept their chÃld's condition
~~~~~~~~~~
it was a distressed and heartbroken moment
this is my 1st time encountering this kind of situation
her parent and relatives were mournful
all i can do is to clean the child and tie her hair
try to give the child the best look before we send the child in a parent room for the parent to have some time with the child prior to sending the child down to the mortuary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i do not know how to describe my feelings
there were a number of times that i have to swallow my own tears
i reminded myself that as a professional, i cannot be too emotional
i need to be there as a support but not to remind the parent how tragic it was
i gave a light pat to her aunty who sat in front of the cubicle while we were cleaning the child
~~~~~~~~~~~~
hope they will get over it soon...
god bless....
