People don’t like to disturb
doctors, so a woman with abdominal pain suffered through the night before
calling at 6 a.m. I was about eat breakfast, but I would have changed into my
suit and arrived in half an hour if she hadn’t told me that the pain was
diminishing.
I told her I’d be there in an
hour. After breakfast, I drove to the Airport Marriott and knocked. No one
answered. I knocked several more times and then confirmed that this was the
correct room. I was about to call Security when the door swung open. No one was
there.
Looking down, I saw a woman
lying flat on her face. She had crawled across the room to open the door. I
dragged her to the bed and called the paramedics who took her to the hospital
where she underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. If I’d
dawdled over breakfast, she might have bled to death.
