I pushed her nut of the way and jeiked Marys head around so I could sec her face. Her mouth fell open and her eyes rolled back I hit her as hard as I could in the middle of her chest with my fist "Get the emergency cart " ' Hit Her Chest I hit her chest again, then twisted her around on the bed so she wa lying flat, and grabbing her chin shoved her head back. For a second I gagged on the smell of vomit. Then I began breathing into her mouth, at the same time keeping my eye on her chest. It didn't move. I could feel the resistance against my own breath sour-swe- Come on! Come on' I thought desperately Come on' Chest Moves Now her chest moved slightly. Taking great breaths I blew harder and harder in the effort to get more air past whatever was still blocking her airway. I was getting dizzy when Chris crashed open the door with the emergency cart. The resident, McMillan, was right behind her Shes consuming, he said when theres an overwhelming infection, the organisms in the blood stream start a reaction that causes all the circulating clotting factors suddenly to be used up.

Blood began oozing out of the side of her mouth d 'I Can Hear It I can hear it, McMillan was listening to her chest he said. Start breathing again. Now there was no resistance, and her chest moved easily with my breaths. After every few breaths I had to stop to spit out the blood Once I had Marys airway open it was just a question of doing the right things in the right order. While I continued to breathe for her, to give her the oxygen she needed, McMillan connected her to the cardiac monitor. It took over two hours, working every minute, o gel Mary stabilized, and during all this time she didnt move. She looked bad, limp and unconscious, with tubes running into and out of her body, her skin a mass of welts. But she was alive. W'ed kept her alive. We had used all wed been taught, all wed been trained for, and I can remember thinking as I stood by Marys bed, this is what blue-blac- k about. Feels Drained I left the room feeling eomoMeh di anted, emotionally and physically. . And yet the realization that Mary was alive partly because of me, because of what we had done, gave me a kind of buoyancy. In the last analysis, it made all other concerns meaningless. It kept me going; it kept all of us going. It gave us a belief in medicine, plus a kind of unquestioning certainty that what we were doing and how we were doing it was right and unchallengeable.
