An Evening at the Theater

My wife got to use her nursing skills tonight. We went out to the theater to see a play called Greater Tuna. While we were in the lobby awaiting the play to begin and elderly lady collapsed and was having a very hard time breathing. She turned gray and began perspiring and couldn't catch her breath. Connie took her pulse, which was 110, not good. It appeared she might be having a heart attack. Unfortunately, she wouldn't answer Connie's questions, wanting everyone to leave her alone, but her friends who brought her and the theater management certainly did want her around until the Paramedics showed up. They got there quite quickly and took over. I was really proud of the job Connie did taking care of this lady in very difficult circumstances.
