I have to admit, I got a little choked up the first time that I read it backwards. It's actually written as a single poem and at the very bottom it says now read it bottom to top. I actually have this poem framed in my office as chief of staff at my hospital. It reminds me why caring for patients with substance use disorders matters so much. I hope this provided you with some inspiration and also reminded you why caring for patients with substance use disorders matters so much. That's all for this bonus episode. I just wanted to share some inspiration.
Sometimes, the most profound truths are found in the simplest words. In this bonus episode of 'Addiction in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care', Dr. Casey Grover steps away from the usual clinical discussions to share a deeply moving poem about addiction. This isn't just any poem; it captures the raw emotions, struggles, and hopes of those battling substance use disorders. Dr. Grover uses this poetic piece to remind us all why compassionate care is crucial in the fight against addiction.
The verses shed light on the heavy burden of shame and stigma that patients often carry, but they also spark a sense of optimism for recovery. If you're a healthcare provider or someone touched by addiction, this episode offers a heartfelt reminder of the human side of substance use disorders. It's a brief yet powerful listen that underscores the importance of empathy and understanding in medical care.
