Guilt because I never spoke up for the bloodied body parts, the bodies under foil covers, the little girl with staring eyes and the safety pin her mom pushed through her windpipe.These are the pictures I used to see almost daily cross my desk. But it’s the stark deaths that get me, like the court video I had to watch of a drug addict’s last moments because the “nurse” on duty simply didn’t know how to save him.
