How to cope with peds deaths

[u/[deleted]]

I worked my first peds arrest yesterday. He was under a year old. I can hear his family’s screams echoing in my head and see the defeat in my team when we called it. I know it’s part of the job we do, but it sucks and I know they don’t get easier. Does anyone have any advice or coping skills to offer? I could use it.

You dont. I still hear the screams. And im medbitter.

The worst part? I went back to work yesterday and we had another peds arrest. I’m convinced the universe hates me.
