how do you deal with the death of your patients?
how do you deal with death anyway?

easy
losing a patient is never easy, but people die and sometimes you need to let them
as for dealing with death I mainly just console myself with the fact that I've already not existed for the 13 billion years before I was born, so I'll be able to handle however many billion come after I die.
>patients
Go watch any medical drama show, inevitably the quirky innocent attending will lose their first patient and the wiser, more experienced doctor will give a heartfelt speech about it.
>death itself
You and every other organic thing is a slowly decaying robot trying to pass it's genetics along before it disintegrates.
Death is an inevitability. It could be 10 seconds from now when you have an aneurysm or 90 years from now when medical science can no longer prop up your useless corpse. Nothing is forever.
