Chelsea enters intensive care through automatic doors. It is the start of a new day for the intensivist. As she walks down a brightly lit hall, a cacophony of sounds strikes her eardrum while pungent odors tease her olfactory receptors.
A heart-wrenching cry suddenly pierces the air and sends shivers down the physician’s spine. A partially empty crash cart now stands idle outside a patient’s room. Chelsea displays a calm demeanor when she enters the room and offers emotional support to the grieving family.
Her years of practice has taught her never to question the futility of it all.
