The Scuba Tank Was Turned Off
My wife, Ruth Quarmby, had a twenty-year-old male apprentice named Craig Smith. He secretly turned off a diver’s scuba tank underwater. This caused an accident.
He then posted three posts on his social media feed.
The first post said, [I played a little prank underwater by shutting off my instructor’s mother-in-law’s scuba tank. Now, she’s in a coma and heading into surgery. But hey, I’m innocent!]
The second post said, [Toast one: from a broke mountain kid to a certified diver. All by myself! Toast two: I confessed my love to someone I shouldn’t have, but I didn’t cross that line. Toast three: here’s to every lonely night I suffered through.]
The third post said, [Best instructor ever. Without her, who else would cover for my pranks?]
I told my wife to pay for the surgery to save the person quickly.
But in front of the operating room door, she told me solemnly to give up on the surgery.
“Your mother is old and fragile. Saving her is a waste of resources. Even if she makes it out alive, she’ll be bedridden. She’ll wish she were dead. Just let her go.”
She quickly signed the Refusal of Treatment form. Then, she threw the signed form in my face.
I kept quiet.
The person lying in the operating room was her own mother.
