Fruit Snacks

My team’s running across the hospital to respond to a
code.
What is my role?
“Do you know how to do compressions?”
“I think so.”
I hear “push deeper,” as ribs are breaking underneath my
hands.
We call it.

Tired and sweaty, we resume rounding.
Someone throws me fruit snacks.
“For the adrenaline,” they say.
