Patch Day- Vital Signs

The sky didn't fall on Dana Reyes. It rebooted mid-code, with her hands still on the paddles and a patient's heart refusing to hold a rhythm.Six years as a night-shift charge nurse taught her how to read a crashing patient in seconds. The class she picked in that same breathless moment - Triage - does something even better: it tells her exactly who's dying, and when, whether she wants to know or not.What it doesn't do is save them. That part's still up to her.With a skeleton crew, a hospital cut off from a city that no longer holds its shape, and something patient and inhuman knocking on a supply-closet door on the fourth floor, Dana has forty-some patients she can't evacuate and a status window that only ever tells her the truth - never the good news.She's about to learn exactly what her class was built for, one code blue at a time.Survival is optional. Triage is not.
