ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO - Day 24


How can that be? In two days, it will be a whole month since you were "pronounced" and isn't that the oddest expression ever? The crash-cart doctor insisted he had to do something, since they were called; you were a DNR patient and they were summoned by mistake, he asked me if it would be alright if he "pronounced" you. A feeling of overwhelming sadness for them swept over me then - of course, they would rather be trying to save your life - and no-one had thought to listen for your none-existent heartbeat after all. So, he got to do that at least.
