FIB,

My ex-Brother in law is an orthopedic surgeon in Thailand who also has an ungrateful wife. I have always had the highest respect for him and hope he visits me when he comes to the USA in February. I asked him once what the worst part of his occupation is and it was the emotional aspect of informing family of bad news. You have great strength to be dealing with your own breakup of your family in addition to witnessing much more life changing events in others lives.
