Bruce Knox is New Zealander who encountered a significant medical complication during a routine ablation.
As part of his overall recovery, he has collected together a range of poetic expressions that I have crafted that tell the story and share some of the thoughts and feelings.
This is a song and the lyrics he wrote:
Nary Sun is a registered nurse with a background in the
medical intensive care unit as well as outpatient settings.
What inspired her to write poetry is that “it helps her deal with all the
emotions that being in the healthcare entails from sadness and loss to
the joy of new life.”
