During the second week of clinical, I spent much time with my resident. Before I gave her morning care, she was having short of breath for a moment. I was little panic because I wasn't ready to take the situation. I checked everything I could do, but I couldn't do many things for her because I was nervous and didn't have much knowledge yet. I thought I was going to make her die. I went out to call nurse and she came to make my resident to be calm down. I just had an experience having life and death. Also, I learned how to deal with the situation.
After the situation was happend, I was thinking about life and death. What is life and death? It is just a little thing that makes huge difference. All nurses or doctors try to save their patients' lives in every seconds and even this moment while I am writing. I don't know how I can accept the death of the patient. There could be a lot of arguements about life and death in the world becuase life is really valuable gift from God. As I am a Christian, I better need to pray for the patients first.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you had a scare about whether or not your resident was dying. On your comments of life and death, I believe that every moment there is someone fighting for their lives. Yes, it is also true that life is a valuable gift from God. However, death is also a natural process of life, even though God had not originally intended for mankind to die. It was only until Adam and Eve sinned that death entered the world. So, alot of times we think death as a very bad thing, whcih it could be. But you could also think of death of people returning to God. But overall, death and life is really out of our hands. We may be able to help extend and improve life and prevent death, but all control over death and life belongs to God. We can only pray and believe in God in death and life situations, since everything is in God's hands.
whoa, I remember i was feeding someone and they started choking and I got really scared. I know what you mean. In those cases, just pray. I prayed for the whole time I was feeding her. Like MC Hammer said, you got to pray just to make it today
