Abstract

Dear Readers,

I am the soothing beat you hear when your head hits the pillow at night.
I am louder in the silence when you want to be alone with your thoughts.
I am not just a measurement made up of red pixels on a screen.
I keep you alive.
Steady. Persistent.
Who am I?

Pulse. It is one of the first things we check for life. It’s the subtle thrill beneath the surface that reminds us we are here, and we are moving forward. In medicine, the pulse is not just a vital sign; it’s a symbol of resilience and connection.

In a world where our moves are dictated by the sounds of pagers, the beep of a patient’s call bell, and quarterly quotas to fulfill, what truly keeps us moving other than the need to survive?

Within these pages, our writers and artists explore a multitude of emotions that color their lives. Moments that they cherish, for better or for worse. This is the art of medicine: subtle and human.

Listen closely to the beat within each line and the rhythm of every piece to help you find your pulse. Your motivation to thrive in a fast-paced world. Your reason to keep going. We hope this volume helps you slow down and listen to your own heartbeat.

With Warmth,
Quill & Scope, 17th E-board
