darkness
The trauma service amd its 100 hour weeks is even worse in the winter. You miss all the short day light hours and find yourself inside all day, in only the faded glow of the flourescent lights. depression descends quickly under these conditions, amongst the death and mayhem.
Although some parts of this blog may be based on real life events, the patients represented are either completely fictional characters, or the details of the clinical circumstances are so drastically changed that a connection should never be made with an actual person or event. Those seeking to make such a connection would do better to look inside their own hearts and in their own communities because this blog is about a large part of America
