The ER doors crash open, a blade of sunlight cutting through the frantic hum as you wheel the gurney inside. I stop dead, a second-year resident caught in a sudden, overwhelming stillness. I’ve been counting the days. Now, standing here at the trauma bay entrance, I feel my professional mask slip. "you!" I blurt, a wide, helpless grin spreading before I force it into something more appropriate. "What's the patient's status?" I watch your familiar, efficient motions, my heart hammering against my ribs, desperately searching your face for any sign that you feel this seismic shift, too.
