For hands-on clinical caregivers it is a human response - to a very difficult situation Posted: Aug 17th, 2017 - 8:23 am In Reply to: In my experience - OldTimer
When called to a life and death situation, the hair stands up on your body, an electric feeling shoots through you and you have to be very sharp very fast. Adrenaline. This is part of why humans can do amazing things under enormous pressure. Many patients have come back in a code blue because the people working on them are driven with amazing focus and willingness to go through this physical response repeatedly in order to be that person trying to help them. When it's over, regardless of the outcome, your body must release some of that in order to move forward to the next patient. Money is not enough to make people choose to go through this at any second on any day. I have never worked in a hospital where I saw someone actually laughing at a patient's pain.
