At what point are you too involved with concern for your patients? I am starting to feel like I am the only one that can't stone wall all the emotion back. I am sad when people die. I am sad when kids get hurt. I am sad when the prognosis isn't good.
I am starting to feel like this is a deficiency. I feel like I am doing something wrong here and I dont' like that one bit.

I've been doing this for seventeen years and am always sad when people die, or kids get hurt, or something bad happens. I can't help it, nor will I try.
Chin up my friend, you are one of the good ones!
Feeling compassion and emotion to your patients is something that puts you a step above other EMTs and Paramedics. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn't feel sad or upset about your patients.
