A patient passed away

Upon taking over shift, there was a 52 year old patient collapsed from clinic and was sent to the ICU. The team who sent the patient in were actively resusitating the patient however the patient couldnt make it. A group of his female relatives were weeping sadly in the ICU. Its really quite sad because it was a sudden death. When I told the family that the morturary team was on the way, the wife told the daughter "Girl, they are going to take pa pa away ok?"... I felt sad for them.
There was another patient not doing well in the next room. This patient has a group of "inconsiderate family members". Crowd along our passageway despite told them thousand times not to do so as we have resus going on. They even fed the intubated patient with water even after we warned them the risk. Almost ten relatives in the room each time and the same person going in and out of the ICU! SIGH! Make our life really difficult!
It was a tiring shift but able to finish our work on time......... SLEEPY...... SIEN!
