My First Day at the New Hospital, I Found My Wife in the Delivery Room — With Another Man

The first night after I was transferred to a new hospital for a shift, I ran into Carina Harding, the wife who had claimed she was away on a business trip.

She was lying on a gurney outside the delivery room, visibly pregnant, blood pooling beneath her.

The man kneeling beside her seized my hand in a grip so tight it hurt, his voice raw with desperation.

"Doctor, please, you have to save her!"

A nurse held out the surgical consent form in front of him.

"We need a family member's signature before the procedure. What's your relationship to the patient?"
