As a former trauma radiographer my heart goes out to the
family and staff involved in any current critical situations out there. It’s a heartbreaking job, trying to put
people back together after any kind of accident has occurred. It’s particularly stressful when the person involved
has a high profile. I feel for all who
were involved in our beloved sportsman’s case.
I remember from my own experiences the devastation faced when a patient
does not make it. I also recall,
vividly, the heartbreak of having to turn off life support to someone you
love. It feels like you are deciding if
they will survive or not. It feels
guilty whether it should or should not. In
these situations no side of this type of medicine are left unscathed. Family, friends and, staff will all be
suffering at the moment. My heart goes
out to everyone involved in this.
All the rest of us can do right now is be thankful for our
own lives. That’s probably the biggest lesson I’ve taken from working in high
pressure medical emergencies. No matter
how fast technology has evolved in the past 20 years, our bodies and physiology
have remained static. We are at the beck
and call of Mother Nature.
Sometimes it is fate that decrees, above all else, what will
happen to us. All we can do is rejoice
that we've again awakened to experience another day of potential love,
happiness and, fulfillment. I wish joy
and happiness to all. To those in pain
right now I hope you will find respite soon.
Love
Susan xx
