The hum of a finely tuned machine
The rhythm of a rotation
The beats to hit in a presentation
Nothing sounds sweeter to a clerking clinician
I pre-round, round, then check in again
I keep one eye on the fetal monitor
Time passes
This baby keeps missing his cue
No worries, I have a plan B
Okay… so we move on to plan C
To confess, I have no plan D– cells
Decelerations
The hum of operating room lights
The rhythm of a team working in sync
The beating of two hearts
Nothing,
Nothing– sounds sweeter to a clerking clinician
