Hi, long time reader, first time commenter here! Funny how some deaths seem to affect us more than others - I lost a 90 year old gentleman the other night. He was "Red Formed" so no heroics required. I only knew this gentleman and his devastated family for about 9 hours, but I was emotionally drained by the end of the shift. Even now I'm filling up thinking about them. Yet this was a peaceful end to a long life. I guess I'm glad that after 22 long hard years in the NHS I can still cry with a bereaved family.
