My heart goes out to the family of Officer Roger Smith, who was killed protecting patients and their families. Law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe, and we are forever grateful for Officer Smith’s sacrifice.

Writing a paper on heartbeat recordings and songs today, and opened this one from a couple of years ago. It's still so heartbreaking. A young mom died in our #ICU and her family requested that her heartbeat be integrated into a lullaby for the 1yr old she leaves behind. @3wishesprogram.bsky.social
