I can only hope that though you lost a wife and girlfriend, you gained a drinking buddy.

The only time I cried was when I got my man bag hit by one of the bed rails.

I think that happens alot of times regardless of whether you are male or female. I know that I try to hold my emotions until I can expresss my emotion in private.

cheers,

At last, another healthcare professional who's also a rocker ! I'm new to the forum, and feel quite a relief when I meet anyone who respects Sir Eddie...let's me know I'm among friends. When I'm not doing my MA gigs, I play a Les Paul, the now-collectible Voodoo model.

I've been watching the Iron Maiden DVD's, which, of course, are totally killer. I've still got my reissued Killers Tour shirt from 1981, and wear it with pride. (Kohl's used to sell that and Judas Priest)

That said, I'm one who will cry when I have a moment of privacy. I do have to hold back for the sake of "professionalism", but being human (as we're supposed to be) it is sometimes a necessary thing to relieve that tormenting inner stress that comes with our healthcare jobs. We can't all be like Gregory House M.D. nor should we.

To say one is not a "man" if he sheds tears is absurd. "Tee", I hope you have ONE good shocking experience that really rocks your ice-cold world, and brings a tear to your eyes ONE FINE DAY.

Man, I can relate to that all too well!!


The only time I have gotten teary eyed at work was when my 14 y/o trauma patient died. We tried everything to save this kid but he was gone. The hard part was when the parents showed up and they were both emotional wrecks. My heart went out to them. It was the toughest thing I have been through at work.....

That picture never fails to move me! And yes men can and should allow themselves to feel their emotions.....When you can feel you are still living.....

you can't take tom seriously.
he loves to get people going.
even when he's being serious, many can't tell, so you're better off assuming he's busting chops.
he has very dry humor.

Righty-O folks!

Let's talk "topic" - not "all nurses poster".

Thanks,

Crying? Heck, I do it. Sometimes it's really inconvenient & frustrates the heck out of me, but it comes up.

I've never understood why it's an issue for most, and something like laughing isn't. What a weird race, humans!
