Boy, do I know it. I have absolutely no doubt that you continue to provide stellar RT care regardless of the very natural frustrations that come with some clinical situations. <BR/><BR/>I think we all have the same feelings as we tackle these issues, and can all relate to many different sides of them. For us who are on the health care side, the frustrations can be truly intense, as you wrote about so vividly too. I do believe it's a struggle, for all of us, and a tough, complicated one, all around.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...I guess we just have to keep focused on duty and our good intentions, and do our own best, whether or not we can see if any good comes of it...<BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing so well and telling such thought-provoking stories on your blog.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-10507427283516946352008-07-05T20:29:00.000-04:002008-07-05T20:29:00.000-04:00I try not to be judgmental, really I do.

And I certainly don't let my feelings affect my care, at least I don't think I do.<BR/><BR/>And yet, even though I know I shouldn't, I often find myself asking why it is that we bother with some people. It seems that saving the lives of career felons is somehow counterproductive, like all we're doing is setting fire to huge piles of money and then setting criminals loose to prey on others. <BR/><BR/>It's just one of those things I struggle with, I guess.
