No a good day at work today...

[bonnie&clyde]

That's awful, and scares me. My little sister is 5 months pregnant with her first kid. Up until now I hadn't even considered the possibility of something going wrong, and I'm not sure what I'd do if something happened to her

...Telling a parent their kid is dead is the hardest thing I have ever done.

I've had to do it twice, and I hope it NEVER happens again... Twice in a day is brutal.

Very sad man!!

I'd be happy that I think I could do the right thing in the moment of an emergency situation.

Dealing with grief of others and the shock of it all every day is just impossible for me to fathom.

God bless that we have people like you!
Thanks for being there to lend a hand.

Make sure your loved ones know you love them each day. You may never get another chance to tell them. There are three families struggling to find a reason to go on living right now...

I do this on a daily basis.

Just can't imagine how you deal with these things that come with your job Dave.
Money's good, but....

You have to have a short memory in this business. But I remember every child that has died on my watch. Telling a parent their kid is dead is the hardest thing I have ever done.

Do you do a good job of detaching and holding your emotions when telling a parent? I can't imagine the hell that is the walk to the parents.

It's true, David calls me every night and tells me he love's me. If I don't answer he'll keep calling.

^Truth.

I always did my best to forget. Still landed myself in a PTSD class after one particular SIDS call.

That's why I don't have a problem with doctors making the money they do. Additionally I personally appreciate it that you have compassion like that.

It is impossible for me to tell a parent that their child is dead...watching all of their hopes and dreams for their child being ripped out of their soul...and keep my composure.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread, it tears me up.

I can imagine man. I pray I never have to tell someone that either.
