My phone buzzed in my scrub jacket pocket at 11:42 a.m., right in the middle of changing a dressing in room seven.I almost let it go. I had three more patients waiting, a doctor who wanted vitals on the hour for the man in room nine, and my break wasn’t until two o’clock. Whoever it was could leave a message.But it kept buzzing. And something in my chest made me look up.“Mrs. Alvarez,” I said to the woman in the bed, “I’ll be right back. Don’t touch that.”She held up both hands. “Wouldn’t dream of it, honey.”
