I offer more detail in Post #23. I have more to share but, haven't decided if it's worth the time to write it because I'm not sure whether readers actually value it.

Both my spouse and I 45 years in the OR, plus working COVID, which brought more death count in a week, than most families see in their entire lifetime. For Both my parents we waited 30 minutes before making the call. Father in law about 40 minutes.
Best friend, started CPR immediately, continuing for 21 minutes, until rescue arrived. Conversion was never going to happen but continued anyway.
It may be hard to understand, but emotions don’t come into play when it’s your medical profession. Not for strangers or family. We also know when to sit and wait, or start counting.
Doesn’t mean hours or days later emotions doesn’t surface, but loosing it in front of colleagues or family when their is a job to do can never comes into play.
While hard to make plans for your child’s death, there is a game plan and will never deviate.
