The Heart is Beating On

It pumps until it pumps no more,


Spencer Barfuss, MD

Bio: Fellow, Pediatric Cardiology

I have always loved the humanities and this seemed like a great opportunity to explore some of the moments in medicine that hit differently. This piece is about one such moment. The line between doing things for the patient and doing things to the patient can be quite thin and is frequently blurry without the benefit of hindsight. This is part of the burden we signed up for - the burden we carry.
