Haikus

1

high tech and high touch 
treatment scans and MRI’s 
where is the high touch    

2

covid-19 lands,
people suffer, gasp and die.
Life goes on somehow.

3

when a patient dies
people mourn; still the daisies
bloom again in spring.

Paulette Mehta, M.D., is a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine.
