Once while working in an Emergency epartment in a hospital in East Harlem I saw a patient who was brought in by ambulance after having both legs mangled when he jumped onto the Lexington Ave. train tracks while trying to flee from the police ( I don't recall what he did to cause the police to chase him ). He was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit under police guard - the staff physicians and nurses just went into automatic mode and did what had to be done for him with regard to his care. In contrast, when a baby was brought in in cardiac arrest there was a palpable sense of urgency among the staff to help the child out as best as possible. You do what you have to do but there are cases when it can do something to you and it stays with you. |
