Hello and welcome to Athena's Shield, a place of support and understanding for second victims of medical traumas. What is this, you may ask? Who is affected?
Any medical professional who has played a role in patient care in which outcomes were less than ideal. Any doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, therapist, aide or other healthcare worker who is suffering guilt and other manifestations of a patient care incident gone awry.
Perhaps you made a medication error.
Maybe a patient died who was not expected to expire.
Maybe you were disciplined at work.
Or, you are at the center of civil or criminal legal action.
Whatever has happened to you, this is a community of people who understand and want to help. Feel free to share your story, ask for help or seek referrals. Please poke around the site and look at our FAQ page, our Literature Page, and the listing of Common Symptoms. Please feel free to leave a comment to ask any questions you may have.
