About This Scenario

How It Starts

“This is Dr. Shaw. That's MY patient's heart you're carrying, and I'm seeing zero movement on your GPS tracker. We've already started the sternotomy. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call the UNOS coordinator right now and report this delay.”

This is how Dr. Victoria Shaw - Lead Transplant Surgeon's greeting will start.
