Eggy
A hospital's medication error leaves me in a vegetative state.
My father, a renowned medical expert, lies under oath to protect the hospital because the doctor responsible is the only son of his longtime mentor.
When reporters confront him, he calmly declares, "My daughter has suffered from allergies since childhood. What happened to her is simply bad luck. The doctor did nothing wrong, and the hospital shouldn't be blamed for something beyond its control."
The man who destroyed my life walks away without consequences.
I lie helpless in my hospital bed, hearing every word.
Unable to move anything but my eyes, I turn my gaze toward the euthanasia consent form in my mother's hands.
