Warning: only watch if prepared to hurt



10 years ago, I'm called to the ICU for a code 99. As I arrive, I see a young, well dressed Asian man sitting outside the room, head in hands. Quickly assess the situation. 28 year old woman who was 8 months pregnant with first child one week before the time of this encounter. Started to have chest pain, went to an outlying hospital and was having a heart attack. Sent to our facility and she codes on the cath table. Stat C-section performed, child dies soon thereafter.

The woman now has a terrible heart and has coded several times in the past few days. She's on triple pressors and an aortic balloon pump. She's coding but there's nothing left to do.

I find out that her husband is a physician as well. I go outside the room while the nurses are doing CPR. I ask him what he'd like me to do, continue or not. He says "Let her go, let he be with our baby."

I went down to the ER and cried, then I called my wife and she cried too.


Life is precious. Never forget to tell the ones you love that you do. And do it as often as you can.

Thank you CMB for posting this. I was going to but figure people were tired of too many touchy feely posts from me.

I read this a few nights ago and that man is truly a Hero of the Heart. I didn't watch the video.. His gratitude for life is very powerful.

code = code blue = patient has stopped breathing/is going into cardiac arrest and needs resuscitation. In the movies, that's the scene at the hospital where everyone drops what they're doing and rushes into a room and starts CPR + defib

Giving me flashbacks to when I worked in the ER. 100% truth.

Which is why I could never work as a physician, let alone click on the link.

Click the link. It's painful yet oddly comforting. A person whose joy is about to be crushed is making music.
