Description

Dr. Imran Nizamuddin is a hematology/oncology fellow. He shared a poem about family and the lengths people are willing to go when faced with adversity.

Excerpt:

"One Way Ticket to Calcutta"

The toxins slowly occupying your blood,
There was only one way to stop the impending flood.
You need a new kidney, they stated,
But frail and infirm, your hopes swiftly deflated.

The list was appallingly full;
Yet unwilling to succumb to a fate so cruel,
At over 80 years of age,
You concluded that time was ripe for a new stage.
