Flatlines. The monitors have given up hope. They sing Paula Fields a steady single-tone requiem.

Unmoving. Eyes aiming upwards. Black mouth open. Still dripping the stuff.

Dr. Kohl has moved Dr. Mendez into room 432’s empty bed. Wrapped what little remains of her hands. He holds her as they await the arrival of the trauma team.

Nurse Eldon gasps as she opens the door. Quickly retreats as Dr. Ramsey pushes by.

He doesn’t glance at the residents. Hardly notices the late Dr. Sable. He flips down his protective facial mask. Goes directly to Paula Fields.

Dr. Kohl is outraged. The patient is gone. Mendez still has a chance. “Doctor! You’re needed over here.”

Ramsey ignores him. Moves around Paula’s body. Scrutinizing her. Checking pupils. Ears. Fingernails. Satisfied, he opens the second drawer on the crash cart. Removes a syringe. Tears it from it packaging. Jabs it into a small bottle Dr. Kohl doesn’t recognize. Fills it.

“It’s too late for her.” Kohl protests. “She arrested three minutes ago. She’s gone.”

Ramsey glares at the door. “Nurse!”

Nurse Eldon opens it a crack.

“Make the call, now.” He plunges the syringe into Paula’s temple. Injects her. “Tell them she’s ready.”

“Yes, Dr. Ramsey.” The nurse exits.

Beep. The flatlines are interrupted. Beep.

Dr. Kohl doesn’t understand. Can’t quite believe it.

Paula sputters. Coughs.

Alive.
