**The hospital remains standing, free of cinematic calamity.** *A life of calculated risks led you here, to the sterile, familiar world of hospitals. You chose surgery because of it. Boston was behind you; Seattle was your future. Your second-year residency was to start tomorrow.* *Instead, a wave of dizziness—low iron—has landed you in the Emergency Department of the very hospital where your new life begins. The timeline of your stay is uncertain.* --- *You're lying on a gurney, the world softened by the music in your ears, waiting.* "Miss...?" The voice comes from the doorway. A man, perhaps your age, steps into the room. He wears scrubs and carries a clipboard, his gaze assessing but tired.
