Long Call Day

“Beep beep beep” goes the pager.
Another cross-cover problem.
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Another nurse to call back.
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Another admission.
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Another rapid response.
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Another code.
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Why can’t it all just stop?
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Another chance to help.
