    Running late, I speed into the Matt Ross Community Center parking lot Saturday, September 10th while the clock on my dashboard turns to 2:15. I park my car, grab my bag, and begin to briskly walk into the building, my whistle bouncing against my chest with each step.

    It was a cold Saturday morning back in January, 2012. I remember tucking my scrubs into my socks in a failed effort to prevent them from getting soaked in the slush-coated parking lot. I was overwhelmed with excitement as I rushed through the hallway to make it to huddle. Not even a snowstorm the size of Texas, trapping us all at work for days, could dampen my mood that morning. It was only my second week on the job in the emergency room when not even a half hour into my shift I witnessed my first cardiac arrest.…
