Hospitals are cities that never sleep — corridors pulsing with lives between beginnings and endings. Every sound is either someone arriving or someone leaving. But sometimes, a name appears on a chart that doesn’t belong to anyone at all.

In the winter of 1998, at St. Augustine Memorial Hospital in Maryland, the night shift admitted a patient who never existed.

Her name, her vitals, her chart — all logged, signed, scanned. Nurses swore they spoke to her. Monitors showed her heartbeat.

By morning, her bed was empty, her file missing, and her medical ID number didn’t match any in the system.

They call it the Patient Who Wasn’t There.
