The elements of truth are here . . . Many a nurse or doctor has 'lost one' whom they thought would live and vise versa.
We all have 'private nightmares'. Thanks for sharing yours.

While in Nam I learned early on, tell them what they wanted to hear,"You're going to be just fine", anything to calm their fear, but to NEVER,EVER promise them that they would make it. Those few that I did, still haunt me, can't shake them.

My Mother is a nurse and my good friend's wife is a WWII military nurse. Without nurses, hospitals would not run nearly as smoothly as they do, especially in war time.
Thanks for this poem, Karla.

Very scary. Sometimes what we can't control rises up and controls us--war is like that.
