I was on the outside as we all were looking in. These doctors and nurses were there. What a nightmare. How do you decide? Yes, do not resuscitate patients, that would have been the sad yet easier choice. The rest, my heart goes out to those that made the decisions. They have to live with that, I give them my thanks for being bold and brave. I am sure I will be faulted for this. They were making a decision to help those that had a chance to survive, no one knew that for a fact, yet they tried. Lose a few to save more.

Thank you brer.
