Dorothy's mouth goes dry.
Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Shigeru gesture to the guard with a gun.
The guard moves his finger to the trigger.
The room swims in front of Dorothy's eyes.
She forces herself to breathe deep, but she's never been so terrified in her life.
Finally, the bleeding slows.
Nance snaps at Dorothy, forceps.
The next few minutes pass quickly.
Using the forceps, Nance locates the appendix and gently brings it up to the incision until it's sticking out.
It looks like an angry red sausage, ready to burst.
Nance barks for the scalpel.
He hands the forceps to Mary Rose Harrington, who holds the appendix in place.
Then Nance cuts it free.
Harrington drops it into a small bin.
Nance holds out his hand.
Suture.
Dorothy hands him a threaded needle.
He sews up the incision.
Then he looks up and nods.
That's it.
