Peds Surgery
A lot of people love peds surgery. There’s a lot of diversity of types of surgeries, the surgeons are nicer, and the patients are adorable.
I am not one of these people. After two months of being exhausted on one in three call and staying late, then watching little kids get sick and die, I am not cut out for this. I’ve been watching previously healthy kids go from normal to dying on ECMO in the span of a day. I’ve seen horrible peds traumas and I’m expecting another one in an hour or so.
Then just yesterday my friends had a baby who ended up in life support and therapeutic hypothermia in the NICU and it’s all just really hitting home.
It’s too sad, this place 💔
