I just want to apologise for being depressing before I start but I need to offload and I know this is the best place:A

For certain reasons I cannot give too many details but will try to explain best I can.

For the last week I have spent a lot of time in my local ITU sitting with a lady whom I have known for 15months. This is to do with my work although it does not normally involve hospitals and never situations like this The lady is only in her early 40's and through complications from a simple operation is now severely ill. Got told the weekend she is unresponsive and they think brain dead, although her heart is beating she is on a respirator. I have sat and talked, laughed and tried my best to be positive not knowing if she can hear anything I am saying:( I found out today that they will be turning the respirator off tomorrow and she will either die or breathe for herself but be faced with a life of 24hr care with no dignity:( . I know I should be more professional and it should not be affecting me this way but this is the first time I have been faced with such a sad situation. I don't know until the morning if I am expected to be there when it happens as she has no close family.
How will I be strong? I really don't think I can be

hi misaligned halo,
i am presuming several things have affected you:

My goodness, poor thing, a fit 40 year old going from a what was a simple operation to completely dependent on a ventilator and brain dead. Totally devsatating, no wonder you are feeling so upset.

The speed with which she went downhill from her op to ending up on ITU, must have been a big shock and hard to take it all in:(

As karlie says ITU can be a frightening place, so many machines, so many tubes, the environment is so peaceful and controlled but the patients are so sick. When I worked as an anesthetist for 18 months, even though I was superconfident with unconcious patients ITU scared the pants off me:o:o:o

Your on your own, she has no family, you feel responsible for her. Are a social worker of some sort or even a prison officer? It is ok to get attached to your clients. Although in hospital I never really did but in general practice most of my pateints I have known for many years and they are well loved by me as well as the other way round. I am devastated when any of them become seriosuly ill or die. I try and maintain a distance if I can but I have been known to hug my patients and they appreciate that you are only human.

I would however avoid getting involved with the decision to turn off the ventilator, that might haunt you. Please don't feel down about feeling down.

Well done for supprting the poor lady. You take care xxx

Before I go tonight, I tried to say a big THANK YOU earlier to Fudge_Cake for your recent dispatch. (You have done another couple small ones since!) You are truly a wonderful person who has a great gift of saying things in a way that really lifts the spirits of those you mention. No wonder we have people queuing for a mention in one of your posts. (well FK that is ).

I really feel that to many of us you are not just a virtual friend anymore but a real true friend now. :A x x x
