A nurse identified as yebom detailed a similar experience: “I lost a patient 3 days ago. I had been avoiding nursing her because I was getting emotionally attached. 3 days ago there was no escaping it. She was in pain throughout the night and I did all I could. Around 6am her O2 level dropped to 62 while on oxygen I was so scared and was able to stabilize her. I called the doctor and handed over to the next duty nurses around 8am almost in tears. The last thing she said to me was ‘I want to sleep.'”
