Code blue

Amritpal Arora MD CCFP

T

he call of a code blue—the harbinger of cardic or respiratory emergency—rings through the ears with solemn urgency.

What one will find in the end is uncertain: if it ends in loss and lamentation, perhaps wishing for something better is all one can do to quell the grief.

Wishes

I wish

the bag inflating your lungs is wind to your sails as you leave this place

unencumbered by rubber tubing I wish

the heat from the metal paddles melts the ink of your gang’s tattoo so it might be used

to write letters

to those who never lost faith in you I wish

through these chest compressions I can touch your heart

hold it for your mother weeping on the other side of this pale green curtain I wish

the coursing epinephrine

gives life to the butterflies in your brain so they might fly to her

through your open eyes and whisper I wish

beads of sweat would fall from those who laboured to save you and wash away your wounds so that your casket

might remain open
