Basric's entries are based on her life in nursing so the medical parts of this entry truly happened.

I can't imagine what the poor man went through.

(we changed names and of course, mine is mostly fiction, imagining feelings etc)

She's a great writer. She wrote first and I just followed her lead. She has lived through some amazing experiences.

However you came here, thanks for reading:)
