I'm with Ryan on this one. Peer pressure. ;) 

Let's remember not to get too personal here, though. Mind the GRAPES.

Hard to forget with three pinned topics about it... good thing someone come to remind us.
i can speak serenely with sort of Sword of Damograpes, anyway.


But can someone tell me what can of "failures" we are talking about ? you mean failures like a feeling of powerlessness ? or more like bankruptcy ?
i'm not sure to get this properly...

Hmm. When I was 17 I got fired from a steakhouse for not being able to cook a steak properly by touch, without a meat thermometer.

Four years later, I can cook a steak in my sleep, so good you'd think Ramsey made it.

Marv, with all due respect if you are serious about the topic why didn't you start the ball rolling yourself?

It's your thread share your reason, for creating it?

Once I lost a 31yo patient due to a cardiorespiratory arrest.
I continued chest compressions and lung ventilations for more than 30 minutes.

There were his friends around him.
We were close to a public place, so I asked them to call the fire department (fastest way to bring someone in emergency) and seek for the closest automatic defibrillator.

The guy who had gone to get the defibrillator went back to tell me it was locked up and he did not have the key. I yelled at him that he breaks the glass. (i know i shouldn't have yell, but... in this kind of situation... i was more angry against the dumbass who locked the defibrillator)

Firefighters arrived with the only truck in the brigade that had no defibrillator by lack of resources. (thank you Mr. Mayor)
This poor guy died.

whenever a patient dies, it is a little considered a failure.
But when a young buddy dies because of CPR equipment ...
Hard to sleep when someone dies when he should have been saved several times.

My heart goes out to you being a dedicated doctor and this happens.

Well since we're sharing....Mine would be taking too long to grow up, living like a frat boy too long and not having children of my own. Now at 51 and having helped raise my wife's 2 boys from a previous marriage (and loving them like my own) there is something to say about having your own children. We tried to have our own but my wife had health issues that prevented it..... Now after helping raise them from 3 & 5 yrs old to 18 & 20 they don't show the closeness we had of their youth. They show it to mom but not me....and show more to their father that comes into and out of their life but not the guy that sacrificed everything including risking my life (extremely dangerous job), my inheritance, every single cent I have ever earned, time I spend with them and fixing damn near everything they broke or needed replacement.

So as long as we're being honest here, my biggest failure is not growing up sooner and having kids of my own!!!

I've indirectly killed two people.

Once was when I was crossing the road. I walked forward without looking at the road first. A girl on her phone was playing a game on her phone and listening to music and followed me. I realised a car was coming and stepped back. She didn't.

The other incident I am guilty of is a grandma fainted in front of me. I panicked and ran away instead of giving her CPR.

Read about both deaths in the local paper. This is why I have trouble sleeping at night.

Another glass of wine please.

Can my life be considered a failure?

No, too callous.

Nothing compared to you guys.

Good to see you all have the courage to keep doing after adversity.

In all our lives a failure has happened to us. No human being is perfect.Sometimes we are ashamed to tell our failures to others. We have emotions, feelings, and kindness. That is part of life.

Marv, remember when your parents said there a people who have it worse than you have? I'm not saying that is my single life philosophy, but there is a reason why I try to keep my mouth,( or at least I should keep,) shut. Becasue there is someone out there who has it worse off. To be honest, it would make me sound like a whiny little b*tch if I said anything.

I really should just keep my mouth shut.

I don't even know why I posted yesterday?
