Shakespeare documents an ED thoracotomy:
Verily, on this day, in the hour of dire need,
Upon the operating table, where shadows dance,
A deed of valor wrought, a scene of tragedy.
An ED thoracotomy performed, a desperate plea,
To grasp at life where death's embrace doth seek.
'Twas in the tempest's fury, midst the clamor of strife,
That we, valiant souls, embarked on this quest,
To open the chest, and seize the heart's secret,
To banish death's grip, to defy its decree.
With instruments keen as Excalibur's blade,
We rent flesh and bone, with steady hand,
And beheld the chamber where life's essence lay,
Where fate's cruel hand had dealt its fatal blow.
In the theatre of chaos, with urgency profound,
We labored as if upon a Shakespearean stage,
Each movement a sonnet, each incision a verse,
In the grand drama of mortality's curse.
Yet, alas, despite our toil, our sweat, our tears,
The heart's song had faded, its melody stilled,
And in the silence of the night, we bowed our heads,
For death had claimed its prize, and our efforts in vain.
So let this note stand as a testament true,
To the courage of those who dared to strive,
In the face of death's cold and unforgiving gaze,
And though we failed, yet did we strive.
Thus, with heavy heart and solemn pen,
I inscribe these words, this tale of woe,
An ED thoracotomy note in Shakespearean prose,
A requiem for a life lost, a tragedy foretold.
