As the girl heard this sound, she let out a grunt of pain. The nurse once again reassured her everything would be o.k. in a few minutes. The girl felt as if someone was yanking the life out of her, and for a split second, the girl wanted it all to stop. But there was nothing she could do at this point. The decision was already made.
