Story 6 of Season 1 of Tales from The Hollow

Carla Simmons is a former ER nurse. She's been running from guilt for six months. When something pulls her to Ironwood Retreat in late February 1984, she discovers she can't leave. Three figures appear at her door across three nights—each one wearing a hospital gown, each one calling her by name. They know what happened during that code in August. They know why she froze. And The Flatline won't let her run anymore.
