Excuse me?” said the young nun to the emergency room nurse, her voice soft and low and patient. She was almost apologetic for interrupting, but she, like the nurses, had a job to do this morning, and it was already after 2:00 am. She was tired, but someone needed her comfort, and that was more important than sleep. “I am looking for Sister Emily Rose? She was brought in with chest pains?” The nurse hurried past the nun, but apologetically called back over her shoulder.

“Yes Sister, she is in the bed next to where I am heading. Follow me - but I am in a hurry.” As the nurse passed the cubicle that held Sister Emily Rose, a nun in her early seventies being watched by a third sister, she pointed back to the younger lady and continued on her way.

The nurse barely heard the nuns talking as one was about to leave, and the younger nun took over the watchful duties. Instead, Angela Greene, RN headed into the cubicle next door and checked on her patient. The patient had lost a hand earlier that morning and had been flown into the ER. Cultures had been taken and he was awaiting a surgery team to come and attend to him. However, there had been a car crash on I-95 that morning, and the staff members were still trying to catch up on the multiple casualties. Nurse Greene was not particularly fond of the foul-mouthed patient and his clothing that stank up the ER with a fish smell, but the man was quiet now and his breathing shallow as he slept. She was leaning forward to wake him when the convulsions started. The man started thrashing up and down on the bed and let out a loud scream, spit and foam flying from his mouth. Had it not been for the foaming of the mouth, she would have thought it just an epileptic seizure. She reached forward to steady and protect his head while yelling for assistance, a large splat of spit landing in her face, eyes, and mouth as she yelled.

“Need help in six!” In an instant, the young nun was back at her side and then placing saline bags each side of the man’s head, and a flat hand on his forehead. Nurse Greene removed her hands and pulled up the frames of the bed quickly before rushing to the sink, washing her face and eyes, and rinsing her mouth. The young nun never left the patient as the doctor and two other nurses ran into the cubicle. Nurse Greene was soon back, joining in the frenzy of activity and telling the others to use face masks and shields. The seizure subsided, and as the doctors and nurses moved about the business of securing the patient, the young nun excused herself and moved to return to her charge in the next cubicle. Nurse Greene called after her.

“Sister?” she said, holding out a hand. The nun did not accept it, but simply held her palms out apologetically.
