PART 1 · LESSON 5 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The Dead Phone

The hospital gate on a cold evening, Noah two hours into his wait and Priya's phone dead: if the battery hadn't died I'd have called, if I had known I'd have gone home, if you'd asked at the desk, if I weren't a doctor, if you came I'd cook fish.
