4 deaths and a suicide...

It's been an adventurous 4 days at the hospital. Four deaths, three of them in 23 hours and an employees' husband committing suicide; so that would actually be five deaths.

Three of the deaths were anticipated, the patients medical condition was such that there was no treatment options available to reverse what nature was bringing. One was a shock, the patient had survived a long, complicated surgery, 10 days in ICU and three days on the floor when suddenly he coded; went into cardiac arrest and died after 45 minutes of CPR. Very sad. His RN was stunned and very sad.

The suicide was devastatingly selfish and tradegic. While the employee was gone, her husband killed himself in their home and left a brutal, horrific scene for her to find and burn into her memory, the selfish son of a bitch.

We are working on a Taking Back Your Home ritual to bring peace and love back to her home.

Still have another day left in my week...
