I really enjoyed this short story. The details used to describe the aneurism were extremely vivd and it felt almost as if you were in the operating room with all of the doctors and nurses. I think that just by reading this short story, there was a lot that the reader was able to learn about what goes on during surgeries like these. Describing the aneurism as a "monster" was the most interesting part. In a way this humanized the aneurism which made it clear how dangerous it was because as a reader that never had a personal experience with something like this, it made it seem real for me which I really liked.
I wish there was more about Mrs. Kelly. I would have been able to feel as if I knew her and feel more emotional towards the situation if there was more about her. I am not exactly sure why there wasn't more about her.
One thing I kept imagining while reading this was the show "Grey's Anatomy". For some reason this is exactly what I pictured while reading. A lot of the episodes in this show were very similar to the incident that happened in this story. It helped me understand exactly what was going on the operating room because I was able to have a vision of what the author wanted us to imagine while reading this short story.
