- W4254598495 abstract "Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.—Francis Bacon, essayist, philosopher, and statesman (22 Jan 1561–1626) My career in emergency medicine has been fighting death: Delaying death, Always trying to keep the moment of death at arm’s length, Always meeting death as a battle to be won or lost, Rarely accepting death as part of life’s circle. Never being able to sit beside a life and witness death’s natural moment. I always framed death from the disease I was fighting— I always wanted to save someone from death. I often ended up delaying death’s inevitable return. I have pronounced many many people dead: No pulse No respiration Absent dolls eyes Absent reflexes “Don’t pronounce dead until warm and dead.” “Time?” Our team would dutifully record it. “Thank you all for your efforts”—for helping me try to put off death for another time. There was no time to celebrate a life lived, Only time to pronounce a life lost And then move on to the next patient— Now I am with my brothers and sisters, it’s 1:00am. We wait for our mother’s death. For the moment when there are: No respirations No pulse No more reflexes of life This morning, I do not fight death I accept its inevitable arrival A death with no disease A death that is literally the end of life. She gave life to eight of us; We celebrate a good life lived. I wasn’t fighting death. I was accepting it’s inevitability. After 37 years of clinical practice, My mother’s death was my first natural one to witness. I am now 71 years old, Facing death’s inevitable arrival Realizing life is more than fighting off death. It’s to live a life well lived" @default.
