Learning to Lose

 



 

Been on My Mind a Lot Lately.

Sometimes We Lose.

Our Humanness Tested 

Again.

I remember my First Code 99,

1980-ish.

I was a New Nurse on a Medical Floor in a medium sized Hospital.

Doctors, Nurses, All hands on deck.

The Patient died after the Doctor had to stop trying.

The Doctor Lost

I Lost

The Patient & Family Lost.

We all learn something when We Lose or Fail.

I had a Dream that night that as we wheeled the Corpse to the Morgue,

He sat up and shouted, “I’m Not Dead!”

Then I woke up.
