What a wild ride!!! Shedding a tear for a kid that’s all grown up and all the people that went through that traumatic experience. That was exhausting.

I work in a cardiac ICU, and I am forever grateful for the amazing team I work with. Never are you an island, when person yells for help, within seconds a whole slew of us will be at that bedside. What OP has described in his video, is how all medical centres should work. Team work is not just necessary, it's life saving. Kudos to you and your hard working team :)

I could not stop watching this story. My heart feels like it will burst. I am reminding myself how much we should appreciate our entire community of medical professionals and first responders. I love and respect all of you!

I’ve let out that wail myself, when my daughter committed suicide. Heard it again when I had to tell my mom. Had to stand there and listen to family let out that same wail when a patient died working at my fire department.

Soul crushing doesn’t describe it anywhere near close enough….

After nearly a decade in level 1 trauma ER nursing, that "keening" or wailing from parents, became my trigger for work related PTSD. I've not witnessed a greater sorrow than that of a person who has lost a child, and as a new parent my heart goes out to anyone who has had that misfortune.

As a very healthy 19 year old, I got a very nasty viral gastrointestinal infection that left me knocked out in the ER. Considering how badly it affected me, it’s horrific to imagine what the baby went through. 

I remember going to the ER, feeling like my body was on fire, going in & out of consciousness. They took my BP & immediately put me in a bed.

A nurse took used a catheter to get a urine sample & as she inserted it, I passed out. It’s my understanding from what I was told later, I stayed unconscious for almost a day while the medical team fought to get my BP & fever down, they were about to do a spinal tap when my fever finally broke & my vitals began to level out to within normal range. 

I don’t remember anything about my stay in the hospital other than leading up to the catheter insertion & when I got discharged. I don’t even remember waking up…a day & half of my life is just a black hole in my memory.

God Bless. Brought back memories of my time as an ALS EMT. The things you see and the heartbreak you go through. I feel deeply emotional watching this, as I lost my son at the age of 9, to a sepsis related cardiac event and I couldn’t be there to help or be with him when he died. But, I know they tried to save him. It was 15 years ago and it still messes with me.

Been an ER nurse in a level 1 trauma center for 11 years. Can confirm. All my worst memories are of sick kids. 100% on point with the mommy wail.

Also been there as a nurse putting an iv in a 2 week old we had just resuscitated. Kid survived!!

You never fully unhear the sound of a mother's keening. When my older brother died my mom wept for days. It's a sound forever seared into my brain.

There is so much i want to say, but I'll just say:

The biggest respect for these people who can accumulate all these crazy amounts of knowledge and put it in motion to save lives.
