Very sorry to hear of this, Livi. Of course tragedies happen all over the world on a constant basis, but when they directly affect you it can be beyond brutal. I find medicine to be fascinating and there is so much about the profession that appeals to me, but seeing people suffer, (like this kid's parents must be), just would make me lose it.
This place is a community and you are a valued member, so it was completely appropriate to share it w/ us, I think. Take care.
