I want to become an ER Doctor, but i was concerned about was the stress level,
do you have to go into therapy after a severe trauma case or do you eventually get numb to it.
It’s very stressful, but most medical specialties have stress. The key is balance in your life. Family, friends, health and work. When I have a tough case, I talk about it, decompress and move on. You do get used to the environment and seeing patients with unfortunate problems.
Thanks for your question!

Can you tell me what would cause me to retain fluid so easily? We are talking about pounds of fluid randomly interrupting my life. I feel prone to it since I did have eclampsia years ago as well. Just small elevation changes make it really bad, flying and probably sodium plus other things that I’m not sure of. I do drink lots of water and I just don’t know what else to do to prevent it.
My 18 month old has had this dark.spot that looks like a bruise for months now. Dr said it was cafe mocha something. I just feel lost at what he was talking about. I feel like something could be wrong and he was rushing me thru our well check appt. Please help.
