Expendable

Lessons learned from the Covid ICU

The work is not about recognition.

It is about becoming and remembering.

We were abandoned.

​Yet they called us heroes.

This is not a story about villains.

It is about a system that made its calculations

​and showed us exactly what we were worth.

Who was expendable.

And who was not.​​​​

It is not comfortable.

​It is true.​​

The work is almost ready.

​Leave your name and it will find you.

​​

No noise. Only signal.
