And yes they do eventually die. Working in transplant is an ethical knifes edge anyway (ie How the hell did THAT person get listed, and not THIS one)

I find death either sad or a release, but I never take joy in it. Even for our behavioral frequent flyers, who eat up resources and are never compliant. Even for those patients who arrive from prison, with their guards, who are truly despicable.

Even Donald Trump fans (this actually happened, had a patient who died as happy as he could be after the election)

I’ve just seen death too often.
