Hospital Waiting Room Patients

Undifferentiated collective of patients and visitors packs George Washington Hospital's Emergency Department waiting room, anxious murmurs rising as nurses juggle routine gripes like Cynthia's prenatal frets amid wry banter. Sirens shatter normalcy; Secret Service agents bark clearances, herding them into hurried exodus toward waiting vans outside backdoors and scaffolding. They yield the space—visibly reactive barometer shifting from everyday delays to civilian evacuation under assassination's shadow—anchoring public stakes as ER fortifies for presidential trauma.
