Conversing with Life

Involved

The more involved I am in my patient's condition, the more I worry when I go off work.

Even at home, I think about how they are doing, especially the acutely ill ones.

Sometimes I wonder whether I will see them tomorrow morning.

So when I walk into the ward, I glance at the beds to see if my patients are still there.

And when my area of coverage has more ill patients than I can manage (which happens to be any number more than zero), I find myself feeling very vunerable.

I worry that any tardiness or wrong move on my part could potentially mean life or death for the patient.

That is mentally stressful.
