Residency Reflection via Haikus

Years of studying

I’m finally a doctor

I wonder what’s next?

Sweet grandma patient

What’s your age? Are you single?

Date my granddaughter?

Running to a code

Chaotic room with loud sounds

Focus your senses

Comfort care measures

Squeezing each other tightly

Slowly saying bye 

Bedside, hands shaking

Attempting IV access

Smiling after flash

Startling cold wind

Sun gently waking with us

A new day begins

Revolving cycle

Winter spring summer and fall

Round and round we go
