In residency, when someone was coding, it was common to hear nurses ask "Where's Dartanian?"

Dartanian was the ICU doctor everyone trusted, if she couldn't save the person, no one could

I now hear "Where's Omen" when people crump. It's terrifying and amazing all at once. It's respect earned from "man up" ing when duty calls (gender inclusive, it's weird there's no similar English phrase for females)

>CODE BLUE
>Get ROSC in under 5 minutes
>Intubated
>Family changes code status to DNR/DNI
>No pressors either
>Compassionate extubation
>Family broke down and couldn't watch her die -> left
>I held her hand as she died

I wanted to cry but still had 11 hours to go on night shift. Cancer sucks

You only get that grit through battle: competitive sports, competitive education, insane hours studying, setting goals just to see how high you can go.

But with the battle comes injury: physical, moral, mental.

Find someone you can vent to, even if it's random internet strangers. Take breaks, the battle will always be there if you want it, your health may not be.
