Could you live with yourself knowing you were responsible for someone's death?

I work in an environment where this could happen due to numerous things I.e wrong medication given or wrong type of food etc etc etc. Some people just don't seem to grasp that reality and it makes me wonder...

I work for an airline, and thankfully whilst I'm far enough removed it shouldn't be an issue it still scares me to think that there could be an incident one day while I'm working

Good question.

My first thought was no. Then I thought if I was a medical professional or carer I'd need to be of the mindset that it was a possibility that I could be responsible unintentionally.

After the first one you get over it quicker.

Brighton - even Hove!

I’m sure I read a story whereby a guy had had an argument or something before work and so hadn’t properly inspected something that caused a small accident which led to something being missed that led to a bolt on an aeroplane not being inspected and it caused the plane to crash.

A lot of pensions etc are investments in organisations and companies that produce directly or indirectly ways of killing other humans.

But I won't visit my dad or go out with my friend who's partner has cancer if I have a cold in case I pass it on. So I doubt I could live with myself.

I don't know, is my honest answer. I simply have no way of knowing how I'd react/feel/function.

I guess it would depend.

Have I done my best to save someone and been unsuccessful (performing CPR on someone who has collapsed but they die anyway)? I hope I would.

Have they died in an accident that wasn't foreseeable? Bit tougher, but I hope I'd be OK eventually.

Is it negligence on my part that has actively caused their death (eg not paying attention in the car?). I'm not sure I'd off myself so technically I would live with it, but I'm sure I would be wracked with guilt.

Someone crashed into me and died. I don’t feel responsible (nothing I could do and they would have died anyway), but it was really traumatic.

couple, us we him her.

If it was due to my recklessness or bad workmanship I'd be beside myself and I genuinely don't think I could cope.

If it was a genuine accident I'm pretty sure I'd never sleep well again and probably require counselling.

Even if I was involved but not my fault I'd feel bad, fucking hell I still feel guilty about the squirrel I accidentally killed about 5 years ago when the silly fucker ran under my van.

I have spent 10 years in a busy A&E department and question every day could we have done something different to save some one but you learn and always try to be positive x

Literally life and death, it's a huge responsibility and not one that we can ever forget in the particular line of work that we do x

Oh god, what a nightmarish thing to go through.

I know someone who was a train driver and had someone jump. Like you it was absolutely not their fault and nothing they could do would've prevented it, but it's not something that's easy to deal with.

I could potentially kill someone in my job. Not that I do anything dangerous, I just hate everyone there.

I lost someone very close to me to suicide a few years ago and like most other deaths, it was very tough. But there was also an element of ‘what more could I have done to try and save them?’ that made it even harder.

I think it would be extremely difficult knowing that you were responsible for someones death. I don’t think I would be able to cope with it.

This will make me sound like a cunt but I genuinely think I’d get over it after a while. It’s just the way I am.

I've had to deal with several incidents where people have lost Thier lives, and you always wonder if there would have been a different outcome if something had been done differently. 2 x CPR, stabbing, multiple OD, suicide attempts etc.

It really can be difficult, but I can safely say I did everything I could in the circumstances. Still affects me though.

Me personally I don’t think I could live with my self, a few years ago part of a blue light charity i am involved with were tasked to an incident. When we arrived the person was in a bad way and it resulted in us starting to administer CPR. Still to this day I see the person slipping away and feeling so hopeless that I couldn’t save them.

"I don't know, is my honest answer. I simply have no way of knowing how I'd react/feel/function."

Probably mainly this.

I know I'd do everything in my power to ensure I am NOT directly responsible for someone's death. I'm regularly responsible for 20+ young people in laboratories and I am a stickler for the rules and safety. I'm changing my answer to no, I couldn't live with myself, actually.

When I went back to work five years ago, I got pushed to do cpr courses and I said no to it.

Wasn’t being a twat, but I didn’t like idea of stepping in to stop someone dying so soon after finding second dead person in my lifetime.

Depends on the circumstances

If it was an innocent person I killed by accident I’d find it hard to live with self maybe even consider offing myself as I’d not deserve to live

If it was someone I intended to kill as they had harmed my kids I’d not feel a single shred of guilt or remorse

This is why I had to give up my assassin apprenticeship. The travel and money were great but I didn’t want to end up with a dark personality.

Got a nice card on my last day.

I worked in a role for a while where forgetting to clip a carabineer on the right way meant potentially killing someone. I choose not to pursue it as a career.

I felt guilty for years after somewhat emotionlessly agreeing with Dr's to switch off my father's life support. Taking someone's life through neglect or ignorance I think would honestly tear me apart
