Reflection writing

Six word stories. 55 word stories.
Forced bit of "reflection" in my IM rotation.
Some examples of good six word stories: "For sale: Baby shows, never worn."

Regardless, my short medical stories below. 

---

Doctor’s cynical heart. See you soon.

Long days; Fine, give him norco.

---

Fifteen hours in, eyes are tired.
The pager goes off, the nurse says he is complaining.
Heroin user for years, in and out of rehab, leaves AMA.
No, don’t give him anything else.
Beep, beep. The pager again.
Give me something. I’m in pain!
Orders and notes and nineteen other patients.
Fine, give him norco.
