All I can say is it gets easier. It’s never easy, just easier. It’s still hard, you still blame yourself to some degree. But from someone who has just by nature lost many, many patients, there will come a time where you realize not all things are under your control. Things happen , sometimes regardless of what you do. You must accept it and move on. I look back on all the people I’ve lost and it really is so hard, but I try to get something out of it.
Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it.
Its extremely tough for me, especially when a patient was perfectly like to live until a last minute complication. Those that are chronic illness, I find more comfort in them finding peace
I can understand how you feel. Losing a patient is very sad and painful, whether you are an experienced physician or one just starting out. You may feel sad, angry, guilty, or other mixed emotions. You may have doubts about your abilities, responsibilities, or worth. These are normal and reasonable reactions because you are a compassionate and conscientious person who cares about your patients and your work. However, you should also know that losing a patient does not mean you are a failure or an incompetent physician. Sometimes, even if you do everything medically available, you can't prevent death. This is because death is an inevitable phenomenon that is affected by many factors, such as the patient's age, health status, genetic factors, environmental factors, etc. You cannot control or change these factors and are not responsible for them. You can only do your best to provide the best care and comfort to your patients. So please don't be too hard on yourself.
