The Protocols, Part 2

 

Your O2 sats are running low

We’ll bring them up to speed

Some supplemental oxygen 

Is probably all you need


The morning brings us better news

Your respirations have improved

Once we see consistency 

Then you’ll be discharged soon


I know I told you to go home

But now you better stay

You’re running high creatinine

We’ll push Remdesivir today


After studying your KUB

It still looks quite the same

But your COVID test was positive 

And your breath is sounding strained


So we’ll put you on a vent

A way to help you breathe

Soon you’ll be back on your feet

Just give yourself to the machine


Your renal tests are off the charts

And you’re struggling on your own

We’ll get those lungs and kidneys fixed

And then we’ll send you home

————————————-

Please notify her next of kin

Of everything we tried

Sometimes the protocols will work

Sometimes the patient dies
