We saw no absolute shortage in our cylinders, xu—it was the distribution that broke, with trucks stuck at district borders and panicked hoarding by smaller clinics. My own nurses became mathematicians, calculating every breath in our ICU logbooks while politicians gave empty speeches on television. What stays with me is how we reused one oxygen concentrator for three wards by shifting it hourly, its wheeze becoming our shared heartbeat in those terrible nights.
