If you want scrubs that are so comfy, you’ll wear them even after your shift is over, then it’s just a click away!

A good doctor always listens to his patient. Listening cures half the illness.

I still remember the first patient who died. It was during my internship. He was talking to me about how him and his wife had to care for their sick son till the previous year when he fell ill himself. Passed away during my night shift. Posting this here to remind myself that the people I treat are human beings with dreams and aspirations.

Working in ICU absolutely drains you. Seeing so many deaths from babies to newly weds every day. No matter how hard you try you fail sometimes. Totally changes your personality.

Doctors do have emotions but their emotions die with their patients.

[fatmaalkandari]

I honestly feel bad for all doctors, they have to witness people dying and slime family members crying hard…
It’s hard seeing someone dying even if you don’t known them, you just feel extremely bad
I respect them doctors for being strong (And for everyone in the world)

My first patient died post splenectomy, a 16 years old Thalassemia major kid, while giving him CPR, I begged God to let him live, a sweetest soul, a brave one.
RIP

I remember one of the first patients I clerked, he had a terrible liver laceration with 4 previous surgeries for it, I checked up on him almost every day sometimes more if i was passing anywhere near he's ward, everyone in my unit referred to him as my patient, one day I was talking to my colleagues and I mentioned I wanted to see him before I left to go home and my friend said "isn't he gone?" My heart dropped. Turns out he was asking isn't he gone home, because he had been in the hospital for months. I immediately went to check up on him after and he was still there, I think i was overly excited to see him, he must have noticed. One day I actually found him discharged a while after I was in another rotation. I hope he's fine where ever he is now.

Nah bro this is sad. Doctors are some else! Y'all deserve all the love and respect.

I'm a sitter and my first patient I sat with died a week later. He was so sweet and gentle just very confused. I hadnt realized how badly he was doing until it was too late. We'd talked, prayed together, and I'd been in the room when his wife called him. It broke my heart to fund out that he had passed. It's been over a year and I'm still not able to think of him without smiling and crying.

Mine was a girl with a head trauma in Surgery posting during internship. I saw her get two surgeries, did all preop work and brokenly explained to her elder sister that the chances of her waking up were slim. She looked so warm and affectionate towards her sister, it broke me down for a good amount of time.

Absolutely true, i still remember the face of that cute 15 year old girl child who was admitted for anemia, and i was doing my house surgeoncy in 2004, who was later diagnosed to have acute lymphocytic leukemia. She came to our institution in her school uniform, hair braided on both sides, holding her mother's hands. She died after 2 days, I literally cried, terribly shocked to see her pale face. I thought time will change my perspective and emotions now I'm 43 today and I'm an Intensivist, I still can't control my tears when my patients die in spite of trying hard to save them, i often feel like I have selected the wrong job

[Dr.PriyaliSingh]

My first patient dies in surgery internship and he and his son both were such kind and humble people. I cried a lot. And everytime i moved by that bed I remember him.

I lost my first patient to Terminal Pancreatic cancer.A vibrant grandma with loss of appetite. We thought we could save her with Surgery(Whipples procedure) But there was mets when we opened her in OT. My heart broke. We did a diversion procedure so that atleast she can feel hunger. The next day, I met her, she had the same vibrant smile and thanked me so much that she got her feeling of hunger again after so many years. She blessed me. I could do nothing but say yes grandma, eat well. I knew she was having only days left. She passed away the next week ! The hardest loss I could take. Her smile still comes on my mind after so many years.

When my mother was at hospital due to neglect from nursing home. That night I got a chance to speak with her. And while there two you nurses were taking care of her. For those few days after 3day she was not talking any more. And I whispered to her. Please don’t leave me until I come back! They would hear me sing to her. And then. We got the call. She was gone. It’s like they had lost their mother swell two young girls tried to stay strong and when they saw us all crying they embarrassed us weeping. As I’m posting this. It’s been 18 yrs. And it’s like yesterday. Tears of sorrow running down my cheeks 😞 I miss my mother.

it's called a noble profession for a reason 😇

The first patient I had lost was during my paediatrics posting during internship. She was very cheerful and the cutest 9month old I had ever seen but was suffering from undiagnosed seizures.She went through multiple tests but the cause couldn't be figured out. I used to check up on her everyday and played with her. Then one day I learnt that she had passed away after getting a fatal seizure. I was crushed for a whole week after that.

I remember when I had pre eclampsia and when I visited my doctor my blood pressure was so high. The doctor knew I'd have a hard time getting to the hospital because I didn't drive, but he dropped his head in his hands for a minute and then said, "I really want you to go to the hospital." and I realized that he really cared about me. I would have walked through fire for that doctor.
