In the theater of healing, where life’s scripts unfold,

I witnessed a drama, a story untold.

A massive transfusion, a protocol embraced,

In the OR’s hushed chambers, a life to be traced.

The atmosphere shifted, urgency took hold,

As tension wrapped ‘round each tale to be told.

Scarlet rivers flowed, a battle ensued,

Life’s essence measured, in units imbued.

A ballet of hands, in a dance against time,

Transfusing hope in rhythm and rhyme.

Yet amidst the chaos, a sudden descent,

Cardiac arrest, a moment misspent.

CPR’s cadence, a symphony grim,

A novice’s hands on mortality’s rim.

Panic’s shiver, uncertainty’s gaze,

In the labyrinth of shock, a first-time daze.

Blood infused, a lifeline in vain,

A desperate chorus, a ceaseless refrain.

Code blue echoes, a call to the soul,

In the theater of life, an unfamiliar role.

Emotions a tempest, too swift to grasp,

Reality’s weight, a chilling clasp.

The patient’s pulse, a fragile thread,

A code’s first steps, where angels may tread.

Bleeding persisted, an unyielding tide,

A medical waltz, where fate did abide.

In the silence that followed, a hallowed lament,

Mortality’s whisper, a life’s final descent.

The haze of grief, a veil to wear,

The first patient lost, a burden to bear.

A solemn reminder, life’s fleeting song,

In the medical tapestry, where souls belong.

In the aftermath’s quiet, reflection unfurls,

A journey begun, in the world of life’s swirls.

For in the dance of medicine, joy and sorrow entwine,

A poignant reminder of life’s fragile design.
