 A:     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!

 B:     Ellen, get him hooked¹ 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!

       fibrillator. Okay,  clear!Again! Clear! Come on!

        pulse!

 C:    Okay, what ’s happening?
 B:    The patient is in acute² 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!

 A:     Doctor, oh, thank god! How is he?

 B:    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 intensive³ care, but…
