No one is braver than a health care worker !

Like a lot of people, I learned everything I know about the medical field from movies and TV shows (and some late-night WedMD searches,shhhh). While I’ve learned a few facts fromScrubsandGrey’s Anatomy, my hours spent binge-watching certainly aren’t medical school. Only those who work in healthcare truly know the unimaginable scenarios they face every day.

Which is why I’m asking everyone in the medical field: What is the scariest moment you’ve experienced while on shift?

Maybe you’re a surgeon, and you had to make a split-second decision during a long, grueling surgery.

Or maybe you’re a nurse, and you discovered a patient’s injury that no one had realized the severity of.

Or maybe you’re a paramedic and remember a particularly heart-pounding ambulance ride?

Or maybe you’re a radiographer and you remember making an unsettling discovery during a routine scan?
