I think that this is very true. It would have to be very difficult to keep your composure around a teenager who is absolutely terrified and is freaking out. I'm sure that after a while, though, you become used to what common responses are for kids. The nurse seemed to have very prepared responses to everything that Roland was saying.
"' I want you all to go to Hell.'
'That's natural.'" (Shusterman 291)
I still think that every single time you had to be in that room comforting a different kid, most likely all of them pouring their heart out to you, it would be very challenging, emotionally. It would take a very strong and tough person to be in that room. I certainly wouldn't be able to do it.
I admired those who has able to create a blog as wonderful as this! You are truly a hard working person. Keep up the good work and keep on posting.
