Ben Harstine, M3, Class of 2021

Round the table
 Sit one by one
 We talk, we vote
 Another decision done.
 Sixty-five and sick
 Tumor load too large
  
 Surgery? No.
 Chemo? No.
 Radiation No.
 It must be time to go on.
  
 Next.
  
 Eighty-seven
 A tumor again
 One more shot
 Hope not lost,
 Decisions begin
