Sympathy for the Intern

[摘要] The first glow of sunrise Greets the sleepless intern And melts over the faded brick arch Half-shadowed, which reminds: “For of the most high cometh healing.” The day builds up like a tidal wave Tumbling down toward chaos Twelve patients to examine Three new presentations Two sets of rounds Unfinished notes Frazzled energy envelops Brief conversations Punctuated by shotgun pages Like fireflies firing randomly Hypotension in the stepdown Chest pain in room 258 An arrest on floor nine Critical junctures for them Are casual encounters for him.
