That seems about right, I work in the ICU so I get to see a lot of the same things that they see in emergency, just after they have been patched up and sent upstairs. We get people who will live and people who will die and work as part of an amazing team to give people the best opportunity to be part of the former category relative to the later. There are rough days though that make you want to drink yourself into a stupor but going for a run or taking some personal time is very important.
Overall though I really love my job and I am fortunate to be working where I am.
