I fished out the beeper and attempted to dry it off with a paper towel, but it kept dripping water. I think I killed it.
I brought the beeper to a clerk, and she gave me a nasty look like it was not the first time this had happened. Then I walked out of the hospital on a beautiful summer day and strolled down the lovely avenue on my way to a celebratory dinner with my husband, who had finished his internship as well. And I drank lots of water.
