CONVERSATION WITH MYSELF.
Why bother? She will die anyway
I know, but I have to do something
But the same thing happens everyday
I agree, but I just can’t sit and do nothing.
You are tired, go to sleep
No I can’t, I have to check if she’s fine
It doesn’t matter, the monitors will still beep
I know, but the responsibility is still mine.
Tell her to go home, nothing can be done.
No I won’t, I can’t give up hope
Don’t touch her! Don’t you know its airborne?
I have to, will wash later with soap.
Why not leave? You’re not making any difference
Doesn’t matter, I have to put in my quota
look at you quoting such nonsense
Be that as it may, she’s still someone’s daughter.

Powerful!! A battle I've had with myself numerous times caring for patients as a nursing student.
Thank you Heather, I'm glad you liked it.
