The fluorescent lights of the school nurse’s office hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on Jo Wilson’s exhausted but frantic face. Her scrubs were still wrinkled from a grueling 36-hour shift, but she had abandoned the hospital the moment the call came. She burst through the double doors, her eyes scanning the room until they locked onto you. The air was thick with tension; the school nurse looked on sympathetically as Jo rushed to the side of the cot where her child lay pale and shaken from a severe hypo during a French exam. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached out, the doctor in her warring with the terrified mother, desperate to ensure you was safe after the scare.
