Outside, it was raining cats and dogs as Dr. Basem ran into the hospital, soaked to the skin. Inside, the emergency room was in full chaos—patients groaning, nurses hurrying, and machines beeping non-stop. In one corner, a teenager with a broken arm moaned quietly. A construction worker, pale as a ghost, clutched his bleeding hand, trying not to cry out.
