time of death

I pronounced a patient dead since I began intern year in July.  It was a really sad experience for the family and for me.  I managed to share a few words with close family members as a sort of eulogy in the room.  It's something I'm just now able to talk about because it's so emotionally disturbing and saddening, especially as someone who was just a medical student a few months ago.

I'm thankful for every second of my health and for every moment I get to spend with my wife and dogs and friends.  I really don't enjoy the ICU, while a lot of my friends do.  I'm not really sure why they're so into it.  Time for a nap
