Cynthia

hypochondriacal attentive fretful efficient anxious neutral professional persistent

Cynthia haunts George Washington Hospital's ER waiting area as a recurrent pregnant specter, materializing twice weekly for three grueling weeks with the same ritual panic: no fetal kicks detected. Nurses corral her fretful orbit with practiced sarcasm masked as warmth—Nurse 2nd escorts her away mid-complaint, while the desk crew vents gallows humor over her hypochondriac siege. She embodies the ER's grinding banalities, her anxious vigil punctuating staff camaraderie just as presidential crisis erupts, transforming petty triage into prelude for chaos.
