...seen someone die in front of you?
I imagine lolgaxe has, but how about the rest of you?
I could've have comfortably answered "no" until Tuesday. Now I can't say that anymore.
One of they guys living here (at the Mission) apparently suffered a ruptured aortic aneurysm. This is not a thing I ever wish to witness again. I mean, I'm not squeamish; that isn't the issue. What freaked me out was just seeing the process of sudden death.
Another staff member was doing what he could (which wasn't much, but still) and the ambulance crew was there in under 3 minutes, so I had nothing to do but observe until I directed the ambulance guys to the patient. While working here I've dealt with finding corpses, this was just...other-level weird.
