Sixty Seconds to Choose

I walked into the supply closet and found my attending unconscious on the floor.

Needle still in his arm. My hands shook. Do I call it in and destroy his

career or cover for him and risk patient lives. Two other interns saw me standing

there. We locked eyes. Sarah wanted to report immediately. Mike said we owed

him loyalty. He'd saved three kids that morning. I had sixty seconds to decide.

The attending who taught me everything or the oath I swore. His eyes flickered open.

He looked right at me. Begged without words. I reached for my phone.

What would you have done.
