I've got a patient that reminds me why I hate working with sick children. It's not the kids that bother me. It's the parents. It's very difficult for me to find compassion for parents who won't get their s*** together when their child is in a bad place, step up to the plate, and act like a mature, responsible individual. It's frustrating when CPS is involved and you just want to shake some damn sense into them.
The reality is that these people are desperate for some compassion. They are too f***ed up to function. Maybe they don't have the skills or the intelligence to be good parents. Maybe they are too damaged. I don't know.
Everyone is suffering. The parents. The baby. The medical staff. It sucks. Bad.
If I had to do this as a nurse every day, I'd probably cry myself to sleep every night and pray for grace.
