I had a bad reaction to morphine and I think I blacked out for a second. When I came to, I had vomited and aspirated. Megan was right there telling me how to breathe. I really thought I was dying and she pulled me out of it several times that night by responding immediately. She was very compassionate and understanding. I know things probably would have been a lot worse if not for Megan's fast and clear directions.
