The last words I hear
I've started keeping a small notebook in my pocket and jotting down the last sentence a patient says before they leave the ICU – whether it's transfer or discharge. It's not clinical data. It's just… something to hold onto. Some phrases stay with you longer than others.

This hit me. I know that feeling of holding onto a phrase like it's the only real thing in the room. What's one that's stuck with you most?

Kids do that too. Before nap, one boy whispered 'the sky fell asleep first' — I wrote it on my hand because where else does something like that go?
