Spent 2 hours admitting a septic patient, trying to stabilize their rapidly failing heart rate, respiratory function and overall multiple complications in someone who was DNR
30 minutes after completing the admission, I am called down to pronounce the same patient.
Dammit.

Found a quote from Robert J. White, M.D. who was talking about doctors. “…if we want to keep living with ourselves, we must keep on trying, trying, trying.” Hang in there.
