Make me stop.a patient passed.
My very favorite patient passed away on Sunday.
I'm upset. and I shouldn't be.
I mean it's sad. but i should not have tears.
That was really quick. He had a f/u appt today, but he was in the hospital so his wife cancelled. ugh.
i'll dd later.
Re: Make me stop.a patient passed.
I'm sorry Jena - that is hard. I can't imagine how tough it is to deal with patients and have to lose them. I don't think it's bad that you are grieving for him and his family.
I hope you find the peace you need.
bleh. I feel sad for the family. I know the were in a good place and okay with the situation. I just needed to get that off my chest before the Dr came back.

PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
I hate going to the Dr and feeling like I'm just another face- but that's the reality in a lot of practices.
Our practice is really small, and it's just the Dr & I so we have a pretty personal relationship with most of our patients.. Some patients we only see once or twice- but some patients we spend 1-2/wk for several months.. it's pretty difficult to seperate yourself from that.. it is for me anyway.
I'm sorry Jena!

Who says you shouldn't be sad? I want that kind of compassion from people who work at my doctor's offices. I don't expect it from my doctor, because they have more important things to concentrate on than being polite and tender-hearted. But the people working in the office better damn well be a humanfuckingbeing.
That said, I'm sorry you're hurting.
well no one says I shouldn't be sad. I guess I feel like it's kind of unprofessional? Like I shouldn't allow myself to have feelings for the patients? I don't know. It's a tricky place to be in.I just feel like I'm going to have a rough road ahead of me if I get caught up with every patient.. I mean... the majority of them have cancer. cancer kills.that's a lot of death. that's a lot of sadness.
Exactly.
And, you are strong enough to deal with this, and others. And if you're not now, you will be. Don't let the job make you hard, let it make you more compassionate.
Great quote
I'm sorry to hear about your patient. Death is so sad. H's grandpa passed recently and I looked up his address in my phone for the Salvation Army to pick up some stuff and then I realized, I can delete the entire contact from my phone, what an awful thought. I'm going to leave it there for awhile.
