      I think the most difficult for me as a healthcare worker would be to withhold treatment and DNAR.
      As a team, we try so hard to try and give our patients the best possible treatment, we fight just as much as the patient is fighting to stay alive and when it comes to that tough decision of withholding care, especially when it’s been a long time coming or the inevitable, it gives one a sense of being helpless, and there is no worse feeling of being helpless when you want to do is help…

      In my working environment it is always difficult to decide when it is enough and when it is time to withhold care, I’ve been lucky where the decision has not only come from myself, but I have been part of a team where at a point, the decision is made to withhold care and only after careful consideration, discussion and counselling of the parents is when those big decisions are made
