Steve Price: Music
Are We Looking at the Same Thing
(Steve Price)
Often, as a nurse, we question the wisdom of treating a patient who is now, only suffering as a result of technology and misguided, well intended decision makers. Is it right to keep someone alive because we can?
Over and over
On and on
Case after case
It keeps dragging on
What are you doing?
Keeping my body alive
My liver is failing
Not coagulating
My EF is 10
And GI bleeding
Here for six months
Keeping my body alive
1,2,3,4
5 limbs missing
1,2,3,4
5 pumps hissing
What are you doing?
Keeping my body alive
Are we looking at the same man?
Help me understand
What are we trying prove by?
Working on your plan
If I could talk … I’d say
Give me the promise land
Looking at the same guy
Time to treat has gone by
Now the sacred work
In preparation to die
Will you help me out?
We gave it such a good try
Life at all cost
Has lost its appeal
Tell me the truth
Just tell me the deal
I’m not afraid
How about you// doctor?
Are we looking at the same thing
Are we looking at the same thing
No use lying ‘cause dying is dying
Are we looking at the same thing
Are we looking at the same thing
