My endorseable pedia patient died today.

I'm not rotating in pedia anymore. The new student-in-charge just sent a message to me this morning. Some part of me wishes that I had been there when my patient went into code. Maybe the resuscitation would be successful if at least one of the original team who handles him is there.

I actually feared that my patient would die after I shift out of the ward. He just received a new resident-in-charge and a new student-in-charge. They would not be familiar with his own brand of toxicity. Of course, it could very well be that he is beyond saving at that point in time.

At the very least, I want to comfort the mother of my patient who had worked so hard to keep my patient alive.
