Hi Tom. I was on shift all day yesterday too. My day was like yours. We had two like you describe. One of which resulted in a lady being truly and terribly injured in an accident which followed her desparate attempt to escape being brutally assaulted with a weapon by her husband. The terror. The fear. The tragedy. Somehow last night and today I just can't shake it. Reading your blog makes me feel slightly less isolated and alone whilst all around my happy family celebrate our late christmas day unaware of what seems to be slowly dissolving my soul. You guys out there. Have the Merriest Christmas you possibly can. Sam
