Candidly Speaking

In my current job position, death does not occur in our unit. We rarely ever call the "Code Blue". Occasionally, we call a "Rapid Response", primarily to get a little help, for the problem that is already known to us. But, the discussion of death, never comes up in our outpatient conversations. My past tours of employment included a heck of a lot of death, so I have played on both teams.

Candid?
I try to be, often,
But in my line of work
I don't talk about the coffin,
Down the hall in the closet
It is ready for you,
If I can be perfectly candid
Your time is almost due.
