I will never forget that handsome man I sent for open heart surgery one morning after a night shift in ICU. He was 50 something. Had blockages. No choice, had to go. He wasn't even nervous. He said "I am going to die in surgery. I reassured him, we joked to lighten it up. Everyone is afraid. He died in surgery. I was the one who never came to terms. His beautiful wife and family. I never forgot and listened much more intently intently to my patients after that. meg
