Medicine on Pause

In the hospital all day, my partner ill each night.
“I think it’s time to go to the ED.”
In the hospital all day, my partner’s hospital room each night.
“I think we need to consult Oncology and Surgery.”
In the hospital all day, chemotherapy, surgery.
Medical training on pause,
classmates bringing dinner every night.
