Hey everyone, Im a firefighter/emt in a small town. Needless to say, our call volume is very small... around 450 per year. That being said, I had the worst call I have ever had two days ago, it was my first serious pediatric trauma. 7yo girl had a 200 pound tv fall off a cart and landed on her head. Massive trauma to the face and head. We performed cpr and I rode in with the ambulance all the way to the er doing compressions. We did everything by the book, the medic did everything in his scope and she didn't make it. I've been having a hard time ever since, trouble sleeping, waking in a panic, and being on edge with everyone. I think im a pretty tough guy, but I can't get passed this one. Has anyone been through something like this? A freak accident with a child? How did you get through it?
