#6 She looked so scared

Not so much what was said, but how everything happened was horrible… Had a 20 something girl with leukemia come in short of breath, needed to be intubated, I told her we were gonna take good care of her, and she stared back with the most horrified look in her eyes. then she went into Cardiac arrest, started CPR, and when we were doing compressions, she would wake up, grabbing at us, when we’d stop to do a pulse check, nothing. We did CPR so long she started to have blood foaming up through the tube, but she kept waking up when we would do it. Eventually, we just had to stop, and let her d**.

She looked so scared…
