..."On our second to last day in the camp, we went to the ward to check on our 39-year-old patient. When we saw that her cot was empty, our thoughts quickly darkened. Had she died unexpectedly overnight or experienced an acute event?
We went to the nurse's desk and asked if she knew where the patient was. Looking up from the ward's logbook, she smiled.
The woman "left last night," she told us, "and is now home with her family."
