I’ll intellectually/emotionally/physically hard as answers. For me its either 12 hours straight “punching tubes” on a very large scotch marine firetube boiler at the beginning of my career or Easter around a decade ago when I was working with troubled teens and had to engage in 5 separate protective holds in one 16 hour double shift. The former was all physical and the latter was a combination of emotional and physical.
What a champion
Nope. Just an idiot. Shouldn’t have done the double shift. Overtime happens in this job.
And while I did not kill/hurt someone back then (as far as I know) I massively increased my patients risk of suffering from one - and I surely would have treated them at least faster.
Today I would never take this risk again voluntarily again - there are situations that might warrant it (I have responded to a few major disasters, mainly floods, over the years), but these are rare. That back then? That was stupid. In so many ways.
I figured there was no choice when you said it wasn’t because you wanted to, and was due to mass casualty incident
