SPECTiloquy
To be, or not to be - that is the question.
MIBI or not MIBI – that is confusion.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
Whether ’tis sooner in the morn to schedule
The slings and arrows of outrageous Fortune
The slice and planars of four-valenced Fosmin
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
Or to tape arms; or switch to sonic bubbles,
And by opposing end them. To die- , to sleep-
And harmonizing spin them. To back-project
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
No more; yet by a scan know hard events,
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
The infarcts and the cardiogenic shock
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
That FLASH may err to. ’Tis prognostication
Devoutly to be wished.
Most worthy to be JACCed.

Toxic doxorubicin.
The sword is too sharp.
In sorrow I view
With my platelets restrained, the
Scars of those whose weren't.
I click on 'HALF-LIFE'
And correct for decay my
Image, not my life.
Equilibrium.
Procrustean bed! Beats fit
On some better days.
Grafted allegro
Or final ritardando?
- Delayed thallium.
Old Nukes staff don't fade
By apoptosis.
Our pace is logarithmic.
Cardiology
Is by no means nuclear,
Til you reach its Heart.
