how to save a life

I've just grown a deeeeep amount of appreciation for nurses and doctors. And it's not just coz they save lives on a daily basis but because they have the courage to believe so much in themselves. i sound kinda stupid and nonsensicial at the moment, but i seriously think medics are so so brave. like to have that much responsibility over someone else's life is incredible, and so reassuring to know that they have that courage to help.

My sister brought home a baby possum a couple of days ago which she was assigned to look after until it was old enough to go back. it was a tiny little thing, maybe the size of your palm at most. i admit, they're not the cutest creatures when they're a baby, but they're still very tiny and frail. we had it for roughly 3 or 4 days until it passed away yesterday. for some reason i felt oddly emotional about it (maybe coz i felt so attached to it, seeing how i took care of it the most) despite the fact it not being ours to keep. then i began to wonder how brave doctors and vets are to not be so emotionally distressed. it sounds like a bad thing, but for me, i don't think i'd be able to handle it. so much responsibility on one person (probs more) like, i wouldnt know what to do or where to begin, which is probably the reason why i'm not going to become any of those things. its made me appreciate and admire them that much more. Kudos to those who are going into that field. I think your amazing and brave and specfcukingtacular. keep doing what you do ;)
