Daily Routine In HospitalsThe EKG-ECG beeped as she "breathed" heavily
with the oxygen mask across her face
gradually her hope "limped"
her little fingers revealed her hunger for comfort
her spontaneous restricted movements showed her mind refreshed the terrible moments of
deja vu- the scene that sprung her sadness
the silence around her seemed...

HospitalsFor 65 years, I had no need to be under the care of a doctor,
nor was I ever on prescription medication except for dental issues.
At 65, I went to see my assigned primary doctor, and after saying
Hello, my next words were, "Doctor, just give me...

Innocent lives being taken by a person whose deranged..
Last weekend in Pa. it was our state police, one is still

Dearth of Hope, Death-Wish of DespairWhat really makes patients gasp for air?
How far blaming poor oxygen’s fair?
Go right unto root’s core
And a ship comes to shore:
Hospital bills do have giant’s share.
Still deeper should ye pore,
Bleeding cause comes to fore:
Dearth of hope and death-wish of despair!

JelloJELLO
I hate jello because it is a food

From animal parts most disgusting
Food served in hospitals...

Lobotomies, electroshock, meds that these doctors and nurses,
thought...

A Porters Approach To CoronavirusSince that shutdown thing
Things have been quite quiet here at work
Im a porter in a hospital
Moving people for transport and some other things now
My hospital has stayed the same,
But everyone is looking like surgeons and dentists,
Ive read the governments writing,
We mustn't do this; we must...
