When things hit rock bottom

So, i come to get an accucheck machine and this lady walks towards me with this panicky face and wringling her hands saying, "get help, he's not responding, my son is in there." For 3seconds, i thought the son was the one with the problem so i notify someone else and it's the actual patient who they just rolled in and i know 5minutes earlier, i was saying she looked good.
There's really nothing like seeing your loved one crash on you. I'd never thought of how it'll be in front of a daughter and grandson but now i think i know just a little jist of it.

All i know is that seeing everyone rush there, seeing the mom pull his son, (the pateint's grandson) away, holding each other and trying to call everyone on the cell phone sends shivers down the spine. At least, my eyes teared up for 2seconds and then i left the scene. it's the moment when you watch a family soo scared of losing a loved one, seeing a patient being stripped, and hearing the intern walk in and ask, who's the attending. What the bloody ****! Tehre was one attending there, and there was another intern there so why the **** do we need to know which medical team the poor bloke is on. That part of the intern trying to say something made me want to know, the guy is coding like hell, let's get him somewhere and we can think of asking which team the bloke is on.
Anyway, poor dude got wheeled to the CCU, daughter just thanked me, gosh, what'd i do...oh... well, i really do wish them the best.
