Almost 6 months na ko nagwowork sa isang private hospital at halos na observe ko na so for yung morbid side of existence. It’s always the same thing, old people at the end of their life who are just suffering their way through death pero yung mga kamag anak gusto pa din iprolong yung life nila. Pero sino ba naman ang hindi gusto pahabain ang buhay ng mga mahal natin diba ?

Pero it gets to a point na sometimes i just wish na sana mamatay nalang yung mga pasyente na naeencounter ko on a daily basis, kasi sobrang naghihirap na talaga sila. Yung mga relatives nila minsan aawayin ka pa kasi sinasaktan ko daw yung pasyente, wtf i’m just doing my job.

Minsan naisip ko din na we should just save those that are worth saving, those who are really on their way to the grave should just die peacefully, prolonging their life anymore to an extent na di na nila kaya is just wrong.

There is an ethical dilemma here and i just want to get this off my chest, to my fellow allied health workers, how do you cope up with this kind of feeling and do also feel the same way ?
