Dr Mazda Turel My phone rings. There is only one name that still gives me goose bumps when it flashes on my mobile, especially if it's late in the evening and I operated on a tough case earlier in the day: the ICU. I experience a roller coaster of emotions. The heart churns while the brain tries to ration between two rings and swiping right.

Fear, uncertainty, confusion, despair, and, occasionally, doom, all dance within. I believe they are the same emotions my little daughters experience when I come home unexpectedly early and catch them glued to their iPads. In their defence, they are awesome girls.
