Suggester says, "This photo really made me stop and just look at it. Really look at it and take the situation in. The shot just captures the moment so well; the facial expression, bodies, everything." The shock of life... by ~SchwarzesLykan. We've got a flatline! CLEAR! *THUMP!* AGAIN!! Bleeeeeeep......

The shock of life...

Description

UPAEP
6th semester

Fellow doctors-in-the-making. We've been learning how to handle Emergency situations. Blue code, CPR, resucitation and stuff. It's stressful...

No school or teacher will tell you when is OK to stop trying to save someone... YOU will have to decide. The power to say if someone lives or dies...

...

Doctors walk the path of life, two walking beside them.
They look at their right and Life smiles at them...
They look at their left and Death smiles at them...
Doctors have to eventually decide whose hand they are going to take...


...

I :heart: this photo. The situation. My classmates expression... Fear. Determination. Stress. And, above all... HOPE.

Here I am, after a cod awful surgery exam... 2 weeks of endless exams... sooo sleepy. Decided to "do some rounds" here on deviantart... and waaaaaaaaaa! A DAILY DEVIATION!!!! MY CODNESS!!! I knew something was off when I saw +300 messages...

I know this isn't a professional photo or something really earth shattering or whatever. It's just some med students... learning. I would have never imagined a pic I took with my phone after I had finished my own simulation exam was going to get a DD. This was... just important for me. And I love it. Just for the fact that it reflected the situation we were in and cuz they are my friends in there. The fact that others like it too, makes me happy and proud.

Oh, and... NOPE, we don't shock when there's a flatline ... that's just TV/Movies drama. :D

Thank you sososososo very much to ~coldbritto for suggesting it, and to ^estudio for accepting! I'm so honored! And hugs to everyone who has commented and faved!
