Death of an Aquaintance

Posted on 10:35 by Unknown
I haven't had much experience with the death of someone for whom I cared (other than my patient's of course). I'm talking about family and friends, though.

Overnight, I received a text from my good friend in my old apartment building in Denver. She told me that the building was evacuated because of hazardous material that someone used to kill himself.

It turns out the person who killed himself was a really cool guy who always said hi to me at the gym or when I was studying in the building computer room. He was friendly with everyone.

Apparently, though, he had demons.

I don't know all the details. I don't want to believe the negativity surrounding his death. I'm sure it's probably true to some extent, but I'm gonna remember him as that great guy in my building.

May he rest in peace... but yeah I am slightly freaked out by the event.

Time to Live

Posted on 13:07 by Unknown
His 6th birthday is coming up in November, but we're pretty sure he won't live to celebrate. He is lying in his hospital crib, hasn't been able to grow like a normal kid. He is pale with a temperature close to 104F. His heart is beating incredibly fast, but his blood pressure is really low.

And yet there are no tears, no complaints. He's got his arms tucked up behind his neck as if chillin on the beach. He has grown accustomed to the pain. It doesn't matter anymore.

His mom just talked to the social worker about bringing him home, letting him die in peace. We're all surrounding the crib, ordering drugs left and right... hoping the fever will break and his vitals will return to the normal range.

I know this happens in the hospital, but I hoped to never witness it. I wanted to be on the team that sends the kid home smiling, telling him/her not to come back.

Today I can't do that. Today I am reminded why I go through hell... it's not about me after all. It's about you. I go through hell with hopes that you can enjoy the Earth a little bit longer and make heaven wait.

Goodbye Kiddo. You won't suffer anymore. God's got you now. Go play and truly live.
