Description

Dr. Michael Slade is a hematology/oncology fellow. He shared a poem about life at the start of the COVID epidemic.

Excerpt:

It was six weeks.
The ORs were closed then
(“Just the essentials” they said
and, for now, they meant it).
I was home, reading pre-prints
and pretending that this all made sense.
She was working a trauma shift weekly
and leaving her scrubs in the garage
But business was slow.
