The hidden guilt

The hidden guilt.

I just keep wondering what goes on in the minds of physicians when patients are admitted into hospitals.

Maybe very few can courageously say: I can't help her - her condition is more than I can bear. Maybe a more experienced professional can help her.


While some could just wish to try - knowing full well it is either: she makes it or she dies. Usually the probability that she will die is higher when the condition seems critical and complex.


A friend of ours not long ago was attacked by some gunmen that fired several bullets into him. He died at the hospital.

Doctors are mere humans - and they try to do their best. I also appreciate their effort to save lives. But what bothers my thought is: what goes on in their mind when they feel like someone can't make it...and they proceed to attending to the person.

Is it just after all s/he'd die if left unattended to?

I think their are some physicans that are honest.Some are not.Some grieve when a patient does not make it.Some cry.That goes for the nursing staff as well.It is very frustrating for a physican who saves a person's life in an ER in a trauma center from a gun shot wound especially from a gang shooting.They mend and are discharged and go out and do the same thing all over again.

He had his entrails blown out. They tried to fix him. It was a near success for he died after about a week
