Thoughts in a Quiet ED

Herbert G. Garrison

Abstract

Even the busiest EdsHave lingering momentsWhen the onslaught Of MVCs, and STEMIs, and CVAs,And the worried wellAbates—and it is quiet Old thoughtsEnter the mind: When it’s quiet in the EDTelling docs-in-training what to doIs replaced by teaching that is unrushed When it’s quiet in the EDRelations so easily crushed in chaosAre cultivated and renewed Then, interrupting the pleasant ones,Come new thoughts: When it’s quiet in the EDRVUs are reducedThe budget busted When it’s quiet in the EDBills are not generatedBonus hopes fade There once was a timeWhen you couldn’t say “It’s quiet”For fear it would be jinxed away But now you shout out “It’s quiet”When it’s quiet‘Cause we got bills to pay
