Picture this: a busy emergency waiting room, noisy, chaotic. The triage nurse finally has a moment to take a breath and notices an elderly woman sitting by the window. She realizes the woman has been sitting there for a long time, yet has never come to the triage window. Approaching the woman, the nurse notices confusion, and the odour of urine. Pinned to the woman's coat: a note that says "We can't do this anymore."

AuthorHi, I'm Karen. This space is a chance for me to get some of those notebook sessions out there: Motherhood, medicine, writers and writing, the state of the world. Non-published, sometimes non-polished, just a chance to open a discussion. Let me know what you think! Archives
