Since I will finally start studying medicine, I was faced by a lot of dubious Qs such as: Am I qualified to be a Doc? Am I qualified to choose decisions that might effect some people's life?, then came one of the hardest Qs I've ever encountered when in an interview I had to be accepted in the Univ the interviewer asked me:
'If you had two cases both have the same level of injuries, both are emergency and you can't save except one, the only difference they had was that one a young man and the other an old man. Which one will you save?'
And from here this story started even though it doesn't have the same situation as the above:
'Mom me and David will go now' said Tina kissing her mom's cheek
*Be sure to come home soon' replied her Mrs. Clark*your Dad said he will take us to Dinner in that new restaurant that just opened'
'Yeah as if I am sure when he returns back, he will say he is tired and we won't go as usual' said Tina under her breath
'What did you say?'
'Nothing mom nothing'
'Young woman you know that your father works hard for us and every day he saves a life'
'Yes mom anyways I am off'
'Don't forget to be here 8 pm'
'Yeah yeah'
'David are you sure this speed is allowed?' said Tina closing her eyes tightly and grabbed the sides of her seat tightly for dear life
*hahaha relax sweetheart I always drive so' replied David –her boy friend-then turning toward her, he laughed harder when he saw she was really terrified then tried calming her*open your eyes sweetie and you will enjoy it*
*oh all right*said a disgruntled Tina, she peeked then she opened her eyes wide*DAAAAAVID WATCH OUT, THAT CAR*
'Damn, when will this hr ever finish?*sighed Dr, Clark
*Dr.Clark? Isn't time for your usual round?*asked a nurse
*yeah right thanks for reminding me*stretched Dr.Clark then dressed up in his lab coat
All the time thinking about the surprise he prepared for his daughter Tina, her Birthday was tomorrow was tomorrow, he knew that but he wanted to make her an early birthday party and give her the VW he saved his money to buy her for her 18 BD, smiling he steeped out of his office just then through the speakers 'Dr.Clark is needed in the emergency room' it was a normal call but he suddenly had abad feeling about it.Dr.Clark headed to the room then started speeding up toward it
When he entered he was greeted with the sight of two bloody bodies on with a lot of the emergency staff trying to save their lives, but what caught his attention was the girl, she seemed familiar, just when he was about to approach her, the nurse stopped him handing him a tube saying 'Doc the boy here has his lungs filled with blood we need to clear it and I don’t know how to do it'
'yeah give me that' said Dr.Clark then headed to the male patient the boy's face was covered with blood and an Oxygen mask, so he didn't recognize him on the other side he heard the shout 'Clear' that meant the were trying to revive her
Dr.Clark wanted to turn around and head to the other table but recognizing the signs he knew that the other injured patient had no chance so he tried concentrating on the one before him when he suddenly opened his eyes...the patient tried to talk so Dr.Clark bent his head trying to listen to what he was saying while the shout 'Clear' rang again on the other side
'Tina save her' said David then lost conscious again
With horror Dr.Clark turned around just as he heard the declaration' time of death 7:40... .'
Well yeah I know its a tragedy but that’s what doctors especially emergency Docs face everyday even though it might of course not be their relatives but even so saving someone is heroic action but in return some Doctors face a difficult decision, for example in this story if he knew that it was Tina and he tried to save her and ignored David then they would both die because Tina had no chance for survival while David had one even though it was a tiny one. I guess what I meant to say is that a Doctor Life is IMO opinion one of the hardest lives b/w a lot of other careers.
And that sorry is for every Doctor I know and for a Doctor I personally know who had to see his child die in front of him without being able to save him.
For Dr. A.
