Nurse collapsed as dying brother brought to A&E

A Southern California nurse has said she was working in the emergency room at her hospital when she learned a patient dying from a hit-and-run crash was her brother.

Jennifer Medina told KNBC-TV she was working a busy shift at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo on Friday night when an unresponsive man was brought in.

Medina said that as doctors worked frantically to save the 23-year-old man, a fellow nurse looked for his identification. Medina said when her colleague found the man’s wallet, she immediately recognised it.
