The user Smeeee summarised the feelings of many of the respondents:
“We are trained for years during residency to preserve life. We do it as much as we can, and resuscitation becomes so ingrained in us that work becomes machine-like. We empathize with our patients, yes, but we put our own emotions to the side.
“Because if we felt any swing in emotion - whether it be anger, extreme sadness, or pride - that might impair the way we care for the next patient we see.
“Patients will come and go - we will save a lot of them, but some we cannot save. And it's at this moment, this one moment, that we actually feel.”
The user who posted the original image said it had been shared by a "close friend and coworker" on Facebook.
Both he and his friend were paramedics, he said.
