About this listen
 A woman tells the admitting nurse her allergy sentence early and clearly, and the red band still never reaches her wrist before the drug does. In this week's case, we open the whole file: eleven minutes on a steel tray, a blanket and a sleeve, a timeout thinned by forgiving mornings, four minutes that ended in rescue instead of ruin, and how to wear your own allergy so the system reads it twice.
