Fady Joudah’s poetry reflects on the harrowing experience of being a patient trapped in the dehumanizing hospital system, mirroring the plight of Palestinian refugees.
He illuminates how hospital corridors symbolize dispossession, as patients repeatedly justify their existence and needs, much like the marginalized exiled populations.
Joudah’s experiences, both as an ER physician and a child of Palestinians, lend depth to his poetry, highlighting the connections between patient and refugee experiences.
His work emphasizes the failures of a healthcare system that, like the refugee experience, strips individuals of their dignity and agency, reducing them to mere cases.
