I stood in that checkout line, an invisible seventy-four-year-old man, watching a mother in scrubs tremble as a stranger in a tailored suit barked, “Get a job!” right in her face.

I’ve been a nurse in San Diego for six years. I’ve seen trauma, I’ve seen pain, and I’ve seen the worst of humanity walk through the ER doors. But I never thought I would be the one screaming into the void of a dark alley while three shadows closed in on me. I made one reckless choice—one shortcut—and it almost cost me everything.
