Chapter 8 - Conditions

YouHeal Hospital

Work. Work. Work. And work! After having a good weekend with Theo, I'm finally here, back to basic. Today was not hectic as it was for few days, less work but important work. And I got up from my seat and walked out of cabin for a round check-up.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked Mrs. Gonzalez, who had an emergency surgery last week, "Thank you doctor, I'm feeling alot better now" after having a small talk with her, I went to check up on our VIP patient Mr. Baldwin, who still hasn't shown any response, all the health conditions are working just fine, he's stable but there seems to be some problem with his brain function.

Walking through his way was just like passing through the big tall tress in the mid of the jungle, they were all here since that day, hasn't seen anyone moving or being vanished from their place.

Once inside, I monitored him for awhile, he is doing okay and I'm glad because taking him as patient was a big deal as he is the big shot of a human and conditions were deadly, I had to sign some documents before performing a surgery on him, they were basically a thread maybe? It had written, if I couldn't save him, I would owe the Baldwin's whatever they would ask, if anything happens to him I'll be held responsible, like what? Why would I be responsible? Didn't he got stabbed by someone else? All the conditions were just like one another, basically blaming Me? They took the original copy, but I don't care now, I've done my work and it was successful so it was nothing now, not valid at all, but if I had a chance, I would tore them all apart into tiny pieces and make it disappear just to be sure.

"Ms. Miller" just as I was finished with my thoughts, Mr. Knight came inside the room with few nurses with him accompanying, "How are you doctor?" I asked him as he walked inside "I'm good" he gave me a polite smile and moved his eyes to Mr. Baldwin "Still the same" he questioned and I nodded my head in agree "Let me check" I consulted Mr. Knight a neurologist for Mr. Baldwin's head injury as I had thought maybe his brain had to do something with his unconsciousness.

It's been half an hour since Mr. Knight started doing his job and I watched it all standing at the other side of the room, it was taking too much time but I knew a careful inspection should be done, doesn't matter how much time it takes.

"Ms. Miller here" he called me over and paced to Mr. Baldwin's bed and stood a little further, "Are we done?" He nodded and talked to his nurses with something in his hand which I knew was a radiogram.

He handed that to me and I had a closer look at it, Mr. Baldwin's head had a deep injury there... breaking the skull? Shocked! I moved my eyes back to Mr. Knight "He's skull is broken!" I exclaimed "Yeah apparantly he has a big injury breaking all the way through his skull, maybe he was hit hard by something heavy" what exactly has happened to him? I questioned to myself.

Done making final health chart and turning off the PC I was about to get my things ready to go home but,"Savannah" the director barged into my cabin, what the hell is this behaviour? "Why did you do that?" Suddenly questioned me and it made me confused, what have I done? "You know exactly how important he is and knowing this you pulled that thing!" He exclaimed almost shouting? At me? "Calm down and tell me what have I done?" I asked as calmly I could, standing a little further away from desk "Why didn't you allow Mr. Baldwin's discharge?" What? Why is he even asking me this? Where is this all coming from? I had all these questions questioned to myself that I really couldn't ask him directly "You know he is still in the process to recover, plus-" I took the radiogram and handed it over to him "He has a broken skull now" adding "I can't" he looked at the radiogram for while which was still in his hands, "Savannah?" He called my name, I looked at him "You know what?" He loooked up setting the radiogram on my desk "If something happened to Mr. Baldwin, we're all done for? Including this hospital?" well.. I remembered the last clause that mentioned

-If anything happens to Mr. Baldwin while he's stay at YouHeal Hospital, the whole hospital will be held responsible, resulting all the staffs including the heads and doctors to pay the compensation to the patients family and if not. Work for them your whole life.

Yes that's what was written there and I had them signed too, now I understand why the director is so pensive about this and I won't lie this made too made me a little scared, I mean he's still under going the recovery and id anything goes wrong it will cost our life and with my mistake?

"You remember right? Savannah I understand your concern about him but you've to think about this hospital and it's people too, who had devoted their life in making this hospital as where it is today" and he started explaining all cons of the sides, this made me re-think my decision, should I let him get discharged? No! Not without I'm sure of everything.

"Alright let's agree I discharged him, then what? Who would look after him at home?" Continued "Home isn't a good choice for him to have a quick recovery and you know it too, you were once a doctor too" I explained my side, he should understand my points too and he seemed to think something for a while, "I've a suggestion and you'll have to agree" hm? I nodded "Be his Permanent doctor, visit him at his home for a regular check-up" What?
