Doctors, nurses, and staff in blue or green uniforms rushed around in stressful turmoil. Too much work to do and too little time to do it. Did any of them know that the night had turned bleak and rain was falling? The roads were slippery, and within an hour even more litters would line the hallway.
A fully bearded man with a pronounced hanging jaw pushed Janet Jobbe frantically through the reception area.
“She’s dead”
