Despite the human tragedy that doctors and nurses witness on a daily basis in the emergency room, there’s often a reluctance to ever show any emotion. No tears, no panic, no breakdowns – at least not in front of others. “Vulnerability in healthcare is a pretty precious commodity,” said Dr. Mitch Radin, a Clinical Psychologist at Hennepin Healthcare Medical Center (HCMC) in downtown Minneapolis. Radin is now trying to change those unwritten rules inside one of the busiest emergency rooms in the state. “There’s a kind of belief that if people get too close to their emotions, or let anything

This needs to be taken down as misinformation. Just ask the Hildabeast. There is no crime problem. Whomever mentions crime as an issue is a MEGA MAGA liar and a roach. s/o I will pray for the care takers and the family and friends of those wounded and unfortunately murdered. Vote America because your life does depend on it.

I was a paramedic for twelve years in an "inner city" area and then became an emergency room nurse for another 27 years. While it has made for an excellent background for my novels, it sure sucked wading in blood every night, listening to the screaming, cursing, threatening, and sobbing night after night.
I saw lots of rapin', robbin' stabbin', shootin', beatin', and killin'. It never got easier and it only got worse by the day. I'm retired now and I do my political stuff and write stories... and then go to bed. LOL

Democrat defund police and catch and release policy has unintended consequences. The hospital personnel should find a military hospital friend who has witnessed battlefield wounds of much greater horror. Maybe they can talk snd impart some ways to reduce their obvious PTSD conditions.

You get what you vote for... sometimes.
Most of the time demoncraps steal what you vote for.
As long as the bodies piling up in their ERs are demoncraps I'm good with it.
No sympathy here.
NEXT!

So much for Minnesota Nice. And I agree with #5, the people of the blue cities that are living in hell on earth voted for exactly what they are getting, so I have absolutely no sympathy. To the people that live there and aren't blue voters there are things called moving trucks.

Tragic. But reap the fruits of what you sow ... in this case, sowing the defunding of police and reaping more violent crime.

Asa retired Firefighter I have seen things that would make a buzzard puke.
You don't get used to it, but you cannot let it beat you either.
You make jokes about what other people think are insanity You block out the bad right after you leave it. You cannot take it with you and still be effective.

How about some relevant statistics on the perpetrators and victims of "gun crime." (As if the guns suddenly became animated and spontaneously began shooting people at random.) I would like to know what percentage of the guns are legally owned vs. stolen or in the possession of prohibited holders. I would also like a breakdown on the racial characteristics of the shooters and victims. This would be helpful in formulating an appropriate governmental response, don't you think?

Top notch ER-Trauma Room docs and RN’s are simply the best. Everything horrible, gross, crazy, broken and bloody gets dumped in or walks into the city Emergency Room. These professionals get very little to no accolades for all the miracles they manage to work with folks that should be dead. God bless them!

Democrat cities should burn to the ground. Take no prisoners. Sell Minnesota to Canada for whatever you can get.
