The Story of Me!

I was watching an episode in the new season of 'er', and my God, that was one heart-breaking episode. So I'm gonna write it here for all of you to read.

Paramedics arrive at a scene, where two girls are lying on the floor after falling from a few feet tall building, with their mom and their brother both crying and the mom screaming hysterically that it was her husband who came back to get back at them all.

They take them to the hospital, they try their best, one girl actually makes it in the er and is shifted to the operation room to stop the bleeding. Sadly, they both die. One of the girls, kept asking the doc who saw her at the scene, and whom she kept calling 'angel', because she helped her when she was in pain, if she had done anything wrong to be punished like that.

Later the son tells one of the docs, that his father had died a year ago, and left it at that. Mother's old charts are pulled out, and it turned out that she's been treated for the last year and was on valium 3 times perday to calm her down, if I remember correctly, she was being abused by her late husband. Problem is, she ran out of her meds a week ago, and she couldn't get more because she couldn't afford it, and that's probably when the psychosis, and hallucinations have started. When she was calm, and back to her senses, she sat and tried to remember what happened. She thought that her husband was there, and was trying to break into their apartment, she thought he wanted to kill her kids, so she looks around, all scared, and paniced. Then she looks at the window, and thinks of it as the only way out. She asks the girls to get out of the window, and asked them to jump, while the boy kept screaming, asking her to stop. The girls being little kids, and being frightened of what was going on, just jumped. God, I just felt like my heart jumped out of it's place and stopped beating for a sec there. Can you imagine what a horrible feeling it is? What a tragedy...

Now don't come and tell me that it's just a story. Things like these happen all the time. When you work in the hospital, you start to realize how cruel life can be. You hear things that you only think could never happen in real world, but in fact it does, all the time...
