I’m ushered into a small, private waiting room with multiple chairs and I’m told a doctor will come see me shortly. I’m group-texting my family an update when someone, not the doctor comes in for me to sign a bunch of forms. At some point I call my sister-in-law and share the news. She just starts saying “oh my god” over and over. I think she’s going to stop but she doesn’t. I explain to her that I’m going to call their parents and ask her to call all of the other siblings. She stops and says “ok.” I thank her and we hang up.
The ER
This is what it looks like when you show up in the middle of he night.
