I have a military friend that is a medic. He had told me too many horrible stories of babies burnt up and you can still smell the roasted flesh from IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hats off to the medics, they dont get paid enough IMO. | ||

I understand TL veterans or mods usually post replies of such nature because they're veterans and can do whatever they want, but seriously man. Not in blogs like this. At least show that you give a damn about the people in the blog. I think its more that his blogs open up what goes on behind the scenes that's usually hidden from our everyday lives. Its tragic what other people go through but its also really respectable and admirable what snet does. I don't think showing admiration for snet is really dehumanizing the people he talks about in the blogs. The fact that what he does seems admirable shows that we empathize with the people he mentions in his blog. Can't really feel bad and sorry about everyone who suffers in the world or you won't be able to maintain your own life. Just got to acknowledge and be aware that everywhere around you, even where you can't see, that people are suffering. I think its really admirable what snet does, I wouldn't be able to do it. | ||

Or.... one of the umpteen things you see on a daily basis over here... Come to India(or any 3rd world country) if you wanna see where the truth really lies. Oh hey Mr. tough guy over here has gotta shit on others people's feelings because hes seen worst. Desensitization like this will be the end of us. | ||

That's why I asked before about if the patient was the one who made the decision or if it was the family. If I was 99 years old, at best had maybe 2 more years, I don't know that I'd be keen on spending all that money and dealing with all the problems of heart surgery. I'm guessing at that age, the survival rate of heart surgery isn't great either. | ||

So sad, I would shed some tears as well.But as another poster has pointed out, isn't it up to the patient to decide the course of treatment? | ||

I wonder if medis/EMS people like yourself ever get post-traumatic-stress-disorder from doing such an emotionally charged job. | ||
