A student came to class today, looking somewhat peaked, and informed me that she's bleeding internally and will have to leave for the hospital ... sometime during class ... but she didn't want to miss the lecture.
Smiling, supportive, and scared silly, I escorted her to the door, assuring her all the way that it would be okay if she missed this one time because I always send the notes via email. She put up a good resistance, but I used insistance and persistance to overcome her resistance by telling her she either left NOW or I dialled 9-1-1 and had her forcibly removed to the nearest medical center!
Another first in a long career filled with them.
