The stark reality of the hospital’s resource constraints and the relentless demands on its staff became brutally apparent. As Stevie desperately sought a surgical team, he was informed of another critical case unfolding simultaneously: a 28-week premature infant suffering from sepsis and now in cardiac arrest. The neonatal unit, already stretched thin, was forced to divert resources, leaving the fate of both mother and baby precariously balanced. “Stevie, I’m going to see if the obstetric surgeon is available for a crash section.
