I just received word that the 2nd world war has just been announced official. I am truly terrified but I do have faith that America and the allied powers can win. We came out of the First World War and I think we can come out of the second. But at the same time, I am worried because my memories haunt me….  My first three patients suffered burns over most of their bodies and shortly died. When I tried to swab one with alcohol for an IV, his entire forearm skin came off. As I recall, my next three patients survived. Sometimes we even had to hold blue paper over the lights, and it was hard to work with light like that. But we got used to it. These things are still what haunt my sleep, but I will try to stay strong. No matter what, I will never forget and I will keep faith in America.
