As a mother I want to thank any and all medical personnel when it comes to such heart breaking situations. Besides the pain a mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle and other family and friends go through, Nurses especially, and Drs. as well, you guys go through an immense anount of pain knowing you have to do any and everything you can, to save a child from death, or any other form of abuse. I dont think us on the outside looking in really never acknowledged the fact your feelings and you all go through hearbreak, depression and trauma as well. I sometimes feel depending on these court cases and what's going on, the abuser should also be charged with something because of the amount of pain the nurses, doctors, EMTs, officers, etc.also have to.go through, the rest of their lives as well 😞💔
