I still can't get over every code we attend to actually... Especially when you have the relatives there sobbing...
I know as a doctor you have to keep firm and a straight face despite the tragedies you go through. But I'd think it's kinda cruel if you harden yourself to seeing people die in front of you while you're trying to save his/her life. I mean, yeah, keep a straight face, but I think it's cruel to pass it off as some common occurrence like catching a common cold.
