Abstract
Get the DNR they say
The family is in denial
There is no chance, no hope
That's curious, tell me more
Home on hospice
Dialysis is done
She can't do it anymore
But full code
That's curious, tell me more
Please bear with me
The kids are febrile again
That's curious, tell me more
There are crystals in the room
Circling the bed
The family can't agree
The grounding mat is weaned
That's curious, tell me more
The staff is upset
Don't want to hurt anymore
It isn't worth the pain
That's curious, tell me more
My own grandfather
Nearly 99, full code
Won't change the prognosis
That's curious, tell me more
Turns out 100 was his goal
Things don't seem to add up
The goals are not in line
With the reality that we face
There isn't any hope
And then,
we reframe
We become curious,
Tell me more.
