holes and date on the top, vital signs and temperature, blood pressure Is my name there? Do you know who I am? Am I more to you than a diagnosis, a number, a list of medications? Can you look at me, think of me, as A person? A human being? More than a file three inches thick? Who am I to you? What am I to you? Do you remember me tonight, After you have hung your white coat and signed out on your time sheet? Do you ever think of me when you are home, when my parents are pacing the hall, when my breathing is labored and my temperature is rising? Your pager sounds at 3 a.m. Does it ever occur to you that It might be me? But then again, Who am I to you? To the poetry pond Tell Daniella what you think To the site map Joan
