I have never been more ashamed of myself… in my life.
I choked in an emergent situation today.
I feel so pathetic. I stopped for an auto accident, and when I saw this small, frail, Asian girl crying, I completely froze.
My whole body and mind went into slow motion.
I have saved choking patients before. Assisted in cardiac arrests…
but when it wasn’t in a work setting, I completely fucking choked.
I am so angry with myself right now.
No serious injuries. Mother and daughter had both been hit by the air bag.
Possibility of shock or nerve damage. I went and got ice for the child. Didn’t even check on the person in the other vehicle.
This kind of moment makes me realize that maybe I need to reevaluate my career.
Am I really cut out for this? I can handle the blood, vomit, and bodily fluid that comes my way. But when put into a situation outside of work… aye…
I am lost for words.
Disgusting lack of assertiveness by a healthcare worker.
Pathetic.
