Only Connect Henry Claman, MD Being Sorrow Love Nothingness inescapable immeasurable unimaginable unfathomable • The Old Barn, Steamboat Springs [Bruce Paton, MD] PG 66 PG 67
Seafood Salad Call Back Denise E. Canby The caller has a calm voice but the words tremble the pitch is high and loud. “We have an unresponsive 16 year-old female arrived by EMT. Possible OD pseudoephedrine. It’s fi nals week at the high school. HR 180, BP 200 over 120. Rapid resp.” “What can we give her? We’ve got a peripheral line, fl uids wide open. We’re a small hospital; charcoal, Ipecac, lavage? Dialysis is a 30 minute transport. She’s out so we’d have to tube her. What should we give her?” You should tell them; “We’ll get right back to you on that?” Because of elbows in seafood? As you pick up the line you already know it is too late. The line is dead. You call back, get the secretary. “They’re in the middle of a code, I’ll have them call you back.” They do. She did not make it. You know then; you never want a 16 year-old daughter. You feel like you’ve already lost one, you couldn’t bear to lose another. Seafood salad will never taste good again. • You put them on hold; call the director of the poison center. “I’m up to my elbows in seafood salad right now. Could you get their number and I’ll call them back?” Someone’s daughter is lying unconscious on a cold metal table with wheels, her heart pounding hard enough to break through her rib cage. People with stethoscopes and white coats stand over her willing her to live. Her family can’t breathe without choking. PG 68 PG 69
