Chapter 143

A different nurse swooped in the moment I was backed into the ER cubicle. She introduced herself as Sunny and explained everything she was going to do before she did it, starting with the blood pressure cuff and the finger clip thingy that could somehow read my oxygen levels. I’d often wondered how oxygen saturation could be determined from the tip of someone’s finger. I’d have to ask Siri, I decided, or maybe Sunny could tell me. Before I could ask, she was covering my face.

“This mask will make it easier for you to breathe.”

The clip’s reading must not have been so good.
