Testimonio de un oncólogo infantil.

Os vamos a poner un testimonio del oncólogo infantil, Michael P. La Quaglia , el cual trabaja como cirujano jefe en el centro especializado en cáncer Memorial Sloan-Kettering.

Su testimonio se volvió viral, después de aparecer en la página de Instagram (Humans of New York) la cual sigo desde hace meses.

“The absolute best thing in the world that can happen to me is telling a parent that their child’s tumor is benign. I live for those moments. And the worst thing that can happen to me is telling a parent that I’ve lost their "id. It’s only happened to me five times in thirty years, and I’ve wanted to kill myself every single time. Those parents trusted me with their child. It’s a sacred trust and the ultimate responsibility is always mine. I lose sleep for days. I second-guess every decision I made. And every time I lose a child, I tell the parents: ‘I’d rather be dead than her.’ And I mean it. But I go to church every single day. And I think that I’m going to see those kids in a better place. And I’m going to tell them that I’m sorry. And hopefully they’ll say, ‘Forget it. Come on in".

Este es desgarrador testimonio del doctor que lleva más de 30 años en su puesto. 

Con esto, lo que pretendemos haceros ver es lo difícil que puede llegar a ser esta profesión a veces. La verdad es que todo esto nos hace reflexionar.
