I've never seen two people as happy as those parents when they found out that she made it

“I’m a old retired nurse. My entire life i’ve worked within medicine, I think it’s easily the best career choice in the world. During the first 24 years of my career I worked as a regular nurse in a hospital out of town. It’s truly amazing how you get to follow people and help people of all ages from newborn babies to old men on their deathbed. Unfortunately i’ve experienced alot of horrible things throughout my career as well, multiple times i’ve been involved in situations where parents have lost their children to sudden infant death syndrome. There aren’t many worse feelings than seeing the grief in a parent's eyes after losing their child, probably the worst thing i’ve ever experienced. Living by the countryside i’ve also seen some pretty odd things, for example we once got an alert saying that a little two year old girl had been run over by her mother driving a tractor. It was an accident and all, she had dropped her and then didn’t have time to hit the brakes before it was to late. Somehow she survived, the ground was very soft so she kind of sunk into the ground and made it without a scratch, a bit of a miracle really. Maybe you can imagine how it would feel to hurt your own kid, they were absolutely crushed when they came in but i don’t think i’ve ever seen two people as happy as those parents after they found out that she made it.”

“During the second part of my career I was a school nurse, working with kids between 6-12. Not always quite as intense even though it’s also very important. I was mostly doing routine checks, but also talking alot to the students. Kids are in much worse shape mentally today than they were 5-10 years ago. I think there are multiple reasons for this, stress, performance anxiety and probably the cellphone as well. You always feel you need to be online and active, keep up with your messages, likes and so on. Back in the day you could be bullied in school or whatever but you would still feel safe at home, today you don’t get that in the same way. People in our society really need to stop criticizing themselves and other people for there looks, especially in younger generations. I often had conversations with kids , especially girls around twelve years of age. Boys were usually a bit easier, they played soccer and maybe got into a fight every now and then while the girls often got into alot of drama. Maybe you get it, someone chats shit about some other girl and the kids start comparing themself to one another and it quickly turns to chaos. I think that it’s important that adults talk about this kind of stuff and that they simply make sure that they act adults at all times.”
