The sounds and scents of the ICU!



How different is the world inside this enclosure,
Subtle, but filled with moments of disclosure,
a dynamic setting with requirement of a good sense of anticipation,
To crusade any possible change in the existing equilibrium....

Every change, however subtle or minute,
can have a corpulent effect and always does in mind of the astute,
decimal changes in values fastidiously looked for,
because those can change the whole milieu, creating an uproar!

Every beep has a meaning,every blip has a warning,
every groan is a symptom, it's the body yearning,
every drop of every fluid has a justification for it's existence,
every chemical has an impact by abundance or subsistence....

Things are not as morbid as I may have made it sound,
It's always dynamic,exciting stuff to be found...
Eyes, ears and even the nose have importance in being open,
Because you don't want to check p/a while the patient has a bowel movement!!

This is a place where we strive to achieve stability,
to create a very fickle and a very elusive tranquility,
It is fun in here if one wants to learn and also serve,
For ,in this transition zone, life is preserved!
