Chapter 22 - POPPY’S OXYGEN MASK IN EVIDENCE
The discarded mask became evidence.
Not because it contained a hidden clue.
Because hospital staff preserved the scene properly.
The original mask had been on the floor.
Naomi used a new one.
Security photographed the discarded mask before it was disposed of under biohazard procedure after police documentation.
No dramatic courtroom object preserved forever.
A photograph.
Video.
Monitor data.
Nursing chart.
Timestamp.
At 8:13:04:

At 8:13:31:
New oxygen applied.
Saturation nadir:

Then recovery.
Forty seconds felt like a lifetime in the room.
Medically:
Brief.
Dangerous.
Corrected.
