Late, but I just finished my shift. I know it’s not an exact answer, but it wasn’t words and it wasn’t the patient. I work in emergency medicine, and many of the patients I’ve had that died were unexpected deaths. I think the thing that haunts me the most is the sound of a close family member when they suddenly lose someone. It’s ... god, it’s this raw, primal, almost ... animalistic scream of dispair. When you hear it, it hits something deep inside of you.
