Ryan Asauskas, MS3, Class of 2025
So one of them is gone
She just stared ahead
She had one child left inside her and could not dwell on
But, Her face, it grew cherry red
But, Her eyes swelled with tears
But she had tried so hard to make a life
But come to pass was her greatest fear
She would see her child in the afterlife
So long had she tried to make a child
So long had she waited for that new baby’s cry
Now her new life will have to be reconciled
She said goodbye and thank you
She left
So I have another one of them
She said with glee
She had one less child inside and one more outside a new gen
With 5 children now she could not believe her happy reality
Her family thanked and cried tears of joy
All her pregnancies were happy stories in the end
Each one ended with a boy
With only happiness did she have to contend
She said goodbye and thank you
She left
One patient lost a whole world
One patient gained a world unique
One patient after another
One room after another
One emotion after another
One life and one death after another
One face after another
Just one day after another
How do you do that when all you hear is:
Don’t you know that, you’re a doctor
You went to school for so long
I expect you to know biology
I expect you to know chemistry
I expect you to know anatomy
I expect you to understand me
I expect you to help me
I expect you to consul me
I expect you to comfort me
I expect you to save me
I expect you to save my child
Why did you fail
How do you stop this vocation when you hear:
Thank you for listening
Thank you for talking to me, that’s all I needed
Thank you for taking care of them, we couldn’t
Thank you for helping me
Thank you, I feel much better
I trust you doctor, do what is best
I trust you to make the right choice
I trust you with my family, my child, my wife
I trust you with my life
