poem

 The Surgical Subspecialties

Bones

Vessels 

Tears

Blood

Inside

Outside

Tumor

Putrefaction

Soft

Hard

Indurated

Crepitus 

Pain

A different kind of pain 

Marrow

Bleeding 

When all bleeding stops 

Things that swell

Things that contract

Fixing

Fulgurating 

War

Relative value units 

Gowns 

Masks

Laying on of hands

Knife please

Looking away

Falling in 

Amped up 

Half dead

With care

With love

Heart

Head

Touch

Gloved

Addition

Subtraction
