Fireflies
Today we had four babies before 9a, then two hospice discharges, an admission at 10:30 and a stat transfer to Boston. We were late rounding and I never taught bedside POCUS because my sister called in the middle of the morning (my niece just had a seizure) while an overhead Code 99 sent the team jogging to do epi and shocks. I failed to give the senior feedback and two interns cried by 5 and yet the fireflies this year are so numerous and astonishing that in the midst of all this life and death, we paused to exclaim together at last night’s glitter, like stars had fallen to earth.
