About the Artwork
“This work is a visual poem that reimagines the Basic Life Support algorithm as the foundation of resuscitation. The poem explores the profound emotional impact of difficult outcomes during medical training, highlighting the overwhelming sense of shame that often accompanies the early stages of a medical career.”

we need to use science-based care and skills to respond to our trauma–just as we use science-based care and skills to respond to our patients’ trauma. we need to shift the culture. we are worthy of care and best practices. as scientists and humans, it would only be congruent. it is time.
This is both brilliant and spot on. It should be used in medical schools when codes and resescitation are first taught as a jumping off point for a discussion of reactions to particioating in codes and how to respond in healthier ways.
A picture doing a better job than many thousands of words.
Thank you.
A masterpiece, plain and simple.
Wow. Spot on. Painfully so. I want to write algorithms for so many other parts of medicine and training like this
Thank you for this
