Then he stepped out for a “work call.”
By Friday, Grace was moved to the ICU.
By Saturday morning, alarms were sounding.

It showed Grace awake, weak, but alive.
It showed doctors ignoring the allergy warning.
A nurse tried to stop them.

The monitors spiked… then flatlined.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
The footage continued.
It showed a meeting.
Hospital staff discussing how to label it a “medical complication.”
