Marty's Shorts and Flashes - 2. Flat Lining (Flash)

Nice little example of how perseverance often pays off.

I like how it ends. 

Now you can take care of those gunshot wounds... nice piece. 

Saving a life is always worth the extra effort. NEVER give up, until it is truly, undeniably gone.

Bravo.

The ending was fine, I would have liked more at the beginning. Who was the person being resuscitated?

Thanks, @Carlos Hazday. Yes, that's just what I was thinking as I wrote it.

Cheers, Parker.   I think the doctor in the ER room was more than happy to let someone else take over at this point. His job was done.

Exactly, Geron!  

And even when it does appear to be undeniably gone ("Time of death 20:48 hours...") it can sometimes still be worth making that one last effort...

Thanks for the comment, @Talo Segura.

As to who the person being resuscitated was, I don't think it really matters. It could have been the victim of an attempted robbery. It could have been a victim of domestic violence. It could even have been someone shot by the police as he was committing some crime of his own. None of that mattered to the doctor trying to resuscitate him. All he saw was a fellow human being that needed his intervention to try to stop him from dying. Something to do with the Hippocratic Oath he had taken, maybe?  

Short piece that reminds us how much we rely on our health services and the dedication of the staff, where would we be without them?

A nice piece that reminds us to never give up.

I think we are all guilty of sometimes taking our health service for granted.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
