    About this ebook

    Dr. Valerie Chia strides into St. Joseph's emergency room expecting the usual Montreal Monday morning chaos. Nothing she and the other day doctor can't handle, with the help of the nurses and a little coffee.

    She discovers that the overnight doctor left the waiting room stuffed with patients. Okay, fine.

    Then other day doctor doesn't show up. Hello. This hospital gets 50,000 visits a year and she's supposed to handle everything plus clear the backlog in the waiting room? Start paging for backup.

    One of the overnight patients crashes.

    The shiny new resident doctor, Hope Sze, wants to try the intubation. Against her better judgement, Val agrees to give her one try.

    What else could possibly go wrong?

    Debut episode (half-hour pilot script) of a medical radio drama featuring Dr. Hope Sze, by Melissa Yi, a.k.a. Melissa Yuan-Innes, the emergency physician and author of Code Blues, Notorious D.O.C., and _The Most Unfeeling Doctor in the World and Other True Tales From the Emergency Room_
