Compressions

I was making my rounds searching for newsworthy stories when the emergency door swung open. The dog lay on his back. The nurse stood over him performing compressions. There was a line next to her, maybe five more doctors and nurses.

As the nurse tired from performing CPR the next volunteer relieved her. She went through the line twice. When the owners came in for visiting hours later that night the nurse watched from a distance. People weren’t her thing.
