During a stopover in Nashville visiting a college roommate, Tom had another panic attack during dinner. At 11 PM, convinced he was having a heart attack, Natali drove him to the hospital—ironically, one where she had worked. From 11 PM to 7 AM, Tom endured multiple troponin tests. One person died in the hallway, a heroin addict had a seizure, and someone with a rare contagious disease from Congo was admitted. The doctor recommended an exploratory cath. Tom and Natali insisted on leaving.
