Well, well, well, you wanna know what happens to Jessica on The Resident, huh? That TV show, my granddaughter, she watches it all the time. I seen it a few times, you know, when I was over there for dinner and such. Jessica, she’s a nurse, right? A good girl, seems like. Works at that Chastain place. But things, they ain’t always sunshine and rainbows, let me tell ya.
One day, she was drivin’ that car of hers, and I heard she was tired as a dog after a long day. You know how it is, workin’ them long hours. She just fell asleep, I reckon, and bam! Straight into a tree she went. Poor thing. Her car crashed into a tree. I heard it was a real mess, all crumpled up like an old tin can. They said she got hurt real bad, inside, where you can’t even see. That’s the worst kind, ain’t it?
And you know, they got them fancy airbags in cars now. Supposed to keep you safe. My grandson, he explained it to me once. Said they been puttin’ them in cars since, oh, I don’t know, long time ago. 1998, maybe? Something like that. Anyway, seems like it didn’t do much good for poor Jessica. She got hurt real bad, that’s all I know.
That Conrad fella, he’s a doctor there, a good-lookin’ young man. Seems like a smart one, too. He was talkin’ to Nic, that other nurse, ’bout Jessica. He said somethin’ about, Jessica and some other folks dyin’ from somethin’ called a “pulmonary embolism.” Sounds awful, don’t it? Like a clog in your pipes or somethin’. He said it wasn’t from the surgery, no sir. Somethin’ else was doin’ it, somethin’ at that hospital, makin’ people sick.
That Conrad, he’s a good egg, that one. He figured it out, I reckon. Always pokin’ around, tryin’ to help folks. They say he found another lady to love, that Billie. Another doctor, fancy that. I heard he told her he loved her, all sweet like. He’s all smiles now, that Conrad.
- Jessica, she’s a nurse.

- Crashed into a tree.
- Got hurt real bad.
- Internal injuries and brain trauma.
- Conrad said she died from a pulmonary embolism.
- Conrad, he found love with Billie.
- They happy now.
Then there’s that Devon fella. He was gonna marry that other girl, Priya. Real pretty girl. He even gave her a puppy, a little rescue dog. Can you believe it? But then, just like that, he called the whole thing off. Right before the wedding, too! I heard they was plannin’ a small weddin’, only about 150 people. Can you imagine? That’s half the folks in my town! Young people these days, I just don’t know.
I heard somethin’ else, too. Somethin’ about Jessica’s sister, throwin’ one of them gender reveal parties. You know, the ones where they tell you if it’s a boy or a girl, all fancy like. Well, somethin’ bad happened there, too. Her brother-in-law, he got hurt. Don’t know the details, but it sounded real serious. Just one thing after another, ain’t it? Life’s like that sometimes. Full of surprises, good and bad.
Jessica, she worked hard. Too hard, maybe. Drove that car when she was dog-tired. Ended up in a real bad way. That’s what I heard, anyway. They say she’s gone now, bless her heart. It’s a shame, ain’t it? A young girl like that. But that’s how it goes sometimes. You just never know what’s gonna happen. One minute you’re drivin’ along, the next, bang! Life changes just like that.
That show, The Resident, it’s got all sorts of drama, don’t it? Just like real life, I suppose. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, that’s for sure. But sometimes, I just want to tell them all to slow down, take a deep breath. Life’s too short to be rushin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off. That’s what I always say. Anyway, that’s what happened to Jessica, far as I know. A sad story, but that is what I heard from people talking.
They should all take it easy, I tell you. That is the lesson in all this mess. Slow down, enjoy life. You never know what is coming next.
