Editor’s Note:

I saw this on FaceBook- and couldn’t help but feel that this was a moment that should be recognized and honored.

It is a hard and noble thing we do- and so few see the inner aspect of the intense commitment we make to both the patient, and our society.

The unrecognized SENTINELS.

As always… Peace.

After 35 years of work as perfusionist in my beloved country Iraq (Baghdad) . I am retired just now on the first of July 2014.

I will miss my Heart lung machine ??

Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.
