 Wounded Healers - The OR

"This scene shows an Operating Room team after the loss of their patient. We don’t usually think of the emotional impact a death  has in this environment—but after talking with the team in this photo, they shared that the mental strain can be very real and long-lasting. In this case, the patient was known to the team performing the surgery. Although they did everything they could, they were not able to save their friend. If you look closely, you can see the nurse still holding the hand of the patient and the patient’s spirit standing against the back wall. I never thought of the stresses these teams face until I spent time with them and learned more of their experiences."  Daniel Sundahl

The Wounded Healers silver round series is intended to help create awareness and continued conversation about the challenges that first responders and medical professionals face. PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and mental stress injuries effect many first responders. Many suffer in silence and some unfortunately, turn to suicide. Our hope is that this piece will serve as a reminder that you are not alone and encourage you to go with the power of healing.  A portion of every round  sold will be donated to Wounded Warriors Canada, whose mission is to “honour and support Canada’s ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families.”

About the Mint: Pheli Mint

Pheli Mint is a private mint from Canada, founded by two friends, Phil and Eli, who share a passion for collectible silver rounds.

They are nurses who have worked in a variety of settings, including critical care and with high-risk populations. Phil is also an army reservist and spent over 10 years with his local volunteer fire department.

Both have firsthand experience of the challenges first responders and medical professionals face. They wanted to create a silver round series to pay tribute and raise awareness about PTSD and its effects.
