I worked for 20+ years in a big city ER. I've seen more suffering and death than I care to recall. However,our hospital was located literally next door to a major,world famous,pediatric hospital so,as a result,our hospital didn't have a Pediatric Service.

As difficult as it is watching an 85 year old...or a 25 year year old...die,there's no way in Creation that I could work with sick kids.

I worked weekends in NICU at Oschner Hospital in New Orleans during the height of the 90s crack cocaine epidemic. Did 2 sixteen hour shifts Saturday and Sunday for a year. You don’t want to be responsible for the care of 6 addicted premies. It will rip your heart out. I’m still not recovered from the trauma.

Best wishes to the little man in the article. Life can be cruel.

I couldn’t either, after one year I would have little remaining sanity left.
