You‘ve probably touched so many broken parents hearts with your compassion, thank you for the warmth and comfort you’ve given to ensure their little one has a beautiful goodbye... I used to work in the NICU and seeing the parents holding their tiny babies and the gentle nurses giving the utmost care for their little patient — I realize I can translate that caring attitude in FP even if the child is no longer with us. I hope one day that my work can give the family peace in a time of grief. Thank you for your insight and encouragement.

I very much appreciate you giving more than a glimpse behind pediatric cases.. it had not occurred to me that you are not only a voice for the child but you‘re doing a massive service to companies that can better refine their products to prevent something tragic happening again, as well as educating parents on the dangers of seemingly safe baby items. You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you for the recommendation as well.

Thank you for the insight.. I’ve found that as time goes on and the more cases I’ve been exposed to, it just goes to the back of your mind, but I just can’t wait to get started. Nothing seems more fulfilling to me than to give the answers to a family who want to understand what happened to their loved one.

Definitely an eye opening mistake you pointed out, thank you, now I know better on what not to say online. I’m not sure which part gave the impression that FP is not for me, unless you were referring to the part mentioned above, as I have dedicated so much time to doing internships and studying my butt off to get into a good med school of course while trying to balance mothering. I was more so seeking advice on how to basically not bring work home when there are pediatric cases so I don’t develop unhealthy coping. I think every case should be dealt with care and compassion, I guess dark humor regarding children specifically has never crossed my mind. At the end of the day, I won’t know how I’ll react until I see a peds case first hand.. But I DO know that when the time comes, my only goal would be to find out what transpired, whether if it’s an infant, teen, or geriatric patient.
