I deserve an academy award

As I worked the last 3 days it dawned on me how much of my time is spent not showing how I really feel. I'm not sure how emotionally healthy that is over time but it is certainly part of the job. It doesn't always require effort. A lot is just subconscious with caring about the other person's feelings and taking care of them as you would want to be cared for, non judgementally. That being said there are many moments where I have to make a monumental effort not to show what I really feel. On Sunday the dept was full everyone running to keep up when I went in to see a 16 yr old who was dizzy and nauseated. As I am getting the story from the pt and mom I asked how long have you been dizzy, the reply was " 2 years" my next question was how long has she been nauseated. The reply was " since second grade" I not only had to keep my jaw from hitting the floor but had to keep the WHAT the F?!K look off my face. I'm pretty sure I pulled it off but it was touch and go. The Oscar goes to ME!!
