Reprogramming

On hospice:


"Do you think it's infected?"

"Grab a culture and gram stain."
"Probably."

Should we give antibiotics?

Yes, will start Vancomycin empirically.
"No."

***


"How long will this take?"

"We never know, but rest assured we'll do everything possible."
"I don't know, but rest assured he'll be comfortable."

Dear Dr. Wes,

My thoughts are with you during this time. This is not one of my usual expressions but describes the situation: It Sucks! Enjoy the moments that you have because eventually they are the ones that give you peace. God bless all of you.
