No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Word count target: 280-380 words.
SYNOPSIS: "A patient at the hospital is brain dead after falling into a construction site, and her two sisters must decide whether or not to keep her alive."

The synopsis is extremely brief: One patient, brain dead from a construction site fall, two sisters deciding whether to keep her alive.
The sources provide general series information (setting, creator, cast, general premise).
Problem: The synopsis is only one sentence. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Use only supplied facts. Never add dialogue, scene order, character names or plot events not explicitly present."
If I strictly follow "Use only supplied facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I cannot reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
The synopsis provides:
1. A patient is brain dead.
2. The cause was a fall into a construction site.
3. The patient has two sisters.
4. The sisters must decide whether to keep the patient alive.
The sources provide:
1. Series title: Grey's Anatomy.
2. Setting: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (Seattle).
