Help! Are you a doctor? My poor little Frankie has stopped breathing! Oh my gosh, Help me! I tried to perform CPR, but I just don’t know if I could get any air into his lungs! Oh, Frankie!

Ellen, get him hooked up to a monitor! Someone page Dr. Howser. Get the patient to hold still, I can’t get a pulse! Okay, he’s on the monitor. His BP is falling! He’s flatlining!

NOOOOOO! Frankie! Nurse! Do something!

Someone get her out of here! Get me the de- fibrillator. Okay, clear! Again! Clear! Come on! dammit! I’m not letting you go! Clear! I’ve got a pulse! C: Okay, what’s happening?

The patient is in acute respiratory failure, I think we’re going to have to intubate! C: Alright! Tube’s in! Bag him! Someone give him 10 cc’s of adrenaline! Let’s go, people move, move!

Doctor, oh, thank god! How is he?

We managed to stabilize Frankie, but he’s not out of the woods yet; he’s still in critical condi- tion. We’re moving him to intensive care, but…

Doctor, just do whatever it takes. I just want my little Frankie to be okay. I couldn’t imagine life without my little hamster!
