But tonight, the hierarchy was clear.
The hospital’s security chief barged in, dismissing staff concerns with curt nods.
He seemed more focused on keeping the dog out of the ER than on the child’s urgent condition.

At 12:45, I overheard a whispered conversation among the military personnel.
By 1:30, the attending doctor was pressed by the hospital administration to rush the case.
