The Calm, Chaotic Reading Room
Lights off./Screens on.
Lights off./Screens on.
Notes must be written, and labs must be ordered. / Everyone has their role to do, or else chaos is restored. / All this every day in one golden hour.
The moon has risen and our shift has begun. / We night owls hold vigil in the resident room.
Twenty-four hours a day. / Spent all in one place. / The beds, the lights, the rooms all the same. / The hospital is today’s domain.
The boy coming to the office was eight. / Came in with tremendous hate. / An exceptionally troubled household.
