Spent

As in emotionally and physically.
Must've been because it was my third night in a row with this dying patient, because when he passed away with me and his family members present, I lost it. I shed tears in front of the patient's family as I consoled them. That has never happened before. Snapped to professional mode and had to collect myself in the bathroom.

And my next admission a few hours after that was another case that'll break anyone's heart ...

I may talk like a cynic, but I'm a real softie.

Need to reignite myself by getting lost in life's simple joys ...
