I had my first patient die today. It was very sad. I cried with the family. We worked very hard on this patient, but there was nothing more we could do. I feel good saying that. I did everything I possibly could do with no regret. I feel good about my day today, even thought it was hard. It wasn't like the last time I got a very unstable patient and I freaked out. As conflicting as it may sound, it was a very good experience over all and I learned a lot from it. I learned a greater understanding of sepsis and its patho and the manifestations of it.

The weather is feeling sooo good, people!! I love this cold weather. Yesterday it sleeted and it was a nice change. Its cold, yes, but come on!! Its so much better than 90 with 100% humidity with sweat dripping down my face every time I walk outside! I am a little over the complainers. This morning my car door was partially frozen shut and I broke my car handle. Of course it was so unexpected that my car would do that. Toyotas are so well known for the quality of their door handles!!
