🚑 EPISODE 2 🚑

💊 Jasmine’s POV 💊

My bedside alarm rang, waking me up from my slumber

I stood up from the bed and went to bathroom but the door was locked from the inside

“Megan will you be fast please! It’s my first day at work today and I can’t afford to be late!” I yelled

“Am sorry Jas but doctor Ryan just called to tell me we’ll be having a surgery scheduled for this morning and I had to quickly start getting ready” she said from the bathroom

“Just be fast” I replied and went to sit down on the couch in the sitting room

Minutes later, Megan came out of the bathroom

“Took you long enough” I said as I entered the bathroom

I quickly brushed, bathed and styled my hair

I went to my room and wore a white top with a blue jean, then I wore my black heals and took my bag

I got to the dinning room and Megan was already there

We are already getting late so we just made bread and tea

“I still have some minutes before am late for work so let’s go together, I’ll drop you off at your workplace first” Megan said

“Thanks Meg” I said as I followed her out of the house

Megan has a car, the private hospital she’s working at gave her a car when she finished her first year of residency

She drove me to the National hospital and few minutes later, we were there

“Have a great day Jas” Megan said

“Thanks Meg, see you later” I said and quickly ran into the hospital

I bumped into a man at door and my handbag fell down and all the contents scattered on the floor

“Oh gosh, am getting late” I said as I bent down to pick my things back into my bag

“Hey….” The man was about to say something but I stood up and ran inside the hospital

The man face looked kinda familiar but I couldn’t waste anymore time with him, I can’t afford to be late on my first day

I got to the counter at the reception and the receptionist was speaking with a lady nurse

“Good morning” I said to the receptionist “My name is Jasmine Wright and I just got employed here, this is my first day here”

“You are the new doctor that was employed?” The nurse asked and I nodded

“You are really lucky, this hospital is the hardest place to get a job in, I guess you must be talented for you to have been chosen, anyway my name is Nurse Chloe, I hope we can get along” she said as she brought out her hand for a handshake

Seems she’s really a talkative

I shook her hand and then looked at receptionist

“Where am I supposed to go?” I asked

“You’ll have to go to the Director’s office, he’ll tell you all you need to know” the receptionist

“Where is the Director’s office?”

“Just take the elevator to the 5th floor” Nurse Chloe said

“Thanks”

I went to the elevator to the fifth floor and got to the Director’s office

“Good morning Sir” I greeted as I entered the office

“Miss Jasmine Wright?” He asked

“Yes Sir”

“The message we sent you was that you should be here by 9am but you are obviously late” he said

“Am sorry Sir, it was traffic and am not really that late, it’s just 2 minutes past 9” I said

“Wether it’s just a second past 9, you are late Miss Jasmine. Being a doctor means we have to be punctual in our all doings, we are like the angels in the society and we can’t afford to make the mistakes that everyone makes”

“Am sorry Sir” I apologized

“Anyway, you are new here, you’ll learn all the rules and regulations as time goes on, for now find Doctor Alex, I assigned you to his surgery team as his surgical assistant so you are his responsibility”

“Surgical assistant? I thought I was going to get my own surgery team” I said and he laughed

“You aren’t even allowed to perform a surgery on your own talk less of having your own surgery team. This is a National hospital Miss Jasmine, one of the best in the world and you are just a junior doctor here, we can’t allow you to perform surgery on your own until we are absolutely sure you are capable of doing so. The people that handles the surgeries here are the senior doctors, the junior doctors are just to help them out and learn from them”

“When will I be able to perform a surgery on my own then?” I asked

“When the Senior doctor in charge of you says you are ready which in your case, it’s Doctor Alex, you are lucky that he’s the one training you, there are many people that wishes to be in your shoes right now but I don’t know why he specifically asked for you” the Director said

“Why should I feel lucky that am in Doctor Alex’s team?”

“It’s obvious you don’t know the Alex am talking about. Everyone in the medical field knows him Jasmine, the Senior doctor in charge of you is Doctor Alexander Sanchez” the Director said and I gasped

He is like a legend in the medical world, some people do call him the god of surgery cause he has done lots of complicated surgeries but has never had a failed operation

He once came to my school while I was still a student to lecture us and that was how I saw him for the first time

I can’t am believe he’s going to be my mentor and am in his surgery team

And then a memory hit my brain with a bang
The man I bumped into in front of the hospital, he’s Alexander Sanchez

Why didn’t I recognize him immediately! And I didn’t even apologise for bumping on him, he must see me as a rude girl now

“I guess you are really surprised seeing that you’ve been silent all this while” the Director said bringing me back to reality

“Am sorry”

“Meet Doctor Alex right away, his office is in the third floor” the director said

I bowed a little and then left the office

Oh Jasmine, what have you done, first day at work you bumped into the senior doctor in charge of you and you didn’t even apologise

I just hope Doctor Alex isn’t the type that keep grudges

💊 Alex’s POV 💊

“Any important surgery today?” I asked Susan and Andrew

“No doctor, you don’t have any surgeries for today” Andrew replied

“And how is the brain tumor patient we operated on yesterday?”

“He’s recovering fine, though he’s still unconscious but there are no complications” Susan said

“Great, I have a Seminar to attend today but I’ll check on him before going, just to make sure” I said and Susan nodded

There was sudden a knock on the door

“Come in” I said

Moments later the door opened and a lady came in

“Oh, aren’t you the lady that bumped into me in front of the hospital today?” I asked and she just bent her head

“Am really sorry about that Doctor, I had no idea that you were Doctor Alexander Sanchez” she said

“So I guess it depends on how important a person is then you decide if you should apologise or not, when you thought I was a nobody, you didn’t apologise but when you found out that am Alexander Sanchez, you came to apologise”

“No Sir, I really would’ve apologise back then but I was in so much hurry cause I didn’t want to be late for work” she said

“Oh so you work here, I’ve never seen you around, are you one of the cleaners or maybe nurses though I don’t think you are qualified to be a nurse”

“Am a doctor sir, a junior resident and I just started working here today, my name is Jasmine Wright” she said and I was surprised

“What! You are Jasmine Wright?”

“Yes Sir, I went to meet the director this morning and he said I should come meet you that am in your surgery team and you are supposed to be in charge of me”

“Andrew!” I yelled

“Yes doctor” he said as he quickly came to my side

“Get Doctor Tony here immediately” I said and he quickly run out

I can’t believe this is the lady Tony was singing praises about yesterday

Moments later Tony came in

“What’s wrong Alex, I was attending to a patient” he said as he came in

“Look who’s here, your brilliant Jasmine Wright” I said and he turned to look at Jasmine

“Oh Miss Jasmine, you are welcome to the National hospital and permit me to say, you were amazing during your interview” he said as he shook her hand

“Are you kidding me Tony, she looks nothing like a doctor”

“And why do you say that, she looks like a competent doctor to me” Tony said

“She doesn’t have the Doctors etiquette, she bumped into someone without apologising and she was being late on her first day, doctors are supposed to be very punctual”

“Those are just little mistakes” he said

“Well no mistakes are allowed in my team” I said

“Am sorry Doctor, I promise it won’t repeat itself again” Jasmine said

“Well I sure hope so, cause if you make any mistakes, you are leaving my team, we deal with life Jasmine, no mistakes are tolerated here”

“Just fill her up with the rules and give her some days am sure she’ll fit in properly and if you think am lying about her being smart, you can test her yourself, I’ll take my leave now, I still have some patient to attend to” Tony said and left the office

“What is aneurysm?” I asked

“An abnormal blood-filled swelling of an artery or vein, resulting from a localized weakness in the wall of the vessel” she replied quickly

“And how do you treat a patient with aneurysm in the brain?”

“It depends, if the artery or vain affected is not that swollen then we can go for Biopsy but if it is then we perform craniotomy” she replied and I sighed

She does seem to be intelligent

“Susan” I called and she walked up to me

“Take her to the matron to get her coat and show her where her locker is”

“Yes doctor” Susan said and they turned to leave

“Jasmine” I called and she turned back

“You might have been the best student in your University days but this is the National hospital and you are just a junior doctor here, you aren’t allowed to perform surgery on your own for now, the only surgery you are allowed to take part in is the one am performing”

“But what if there’s an emergency doctor?” She asked

“Then call me”

“Okay” she bowed a little and left with Susan

I wore my doctor’s coat and went off to check on the brain tumor patient

After that I’ll be leaving the hospital, I have a seminar to attend

💊 Jasmine’s POV 💊

“You shouldn’t feel bad Jasmine, Doctor Alex is always a bit harsh to new doctors but it’s for your own good you know, he’s just trying to train you and since you’re in his surgery team, he’s gonna be extra harsh cause any mistake you make, he’ll be the one that has to take the responsibility” the lady said and I nodded

“Yeah I know” I said

“By the way, my name is Susan, am the anesthesiologist of the team”

“Nice to meet you Susan” I said with a smile

I got my white coat with my name sewn on it, I also got all the doctor’s clothings including the one am supposed to wear during surgery and my stethoscope, Susan also showed me my locker in the hospital

“You are assigned to the accident ward so when you aren’t in the O. R with doctor Alex, you’ll be working there” Susan said and I nodded

“I already gave you my contact, so call me if you need me” she said

I muttered a thanks and she left

I dropped my bag in my locker, changed to the normal blue uniform for doctors and wore my white coat

I have a feeling my first day is going to be really hectic

💊 Ryan’s POV 💊

“Is there any other surgery we need to perform for today?” I asked Megan after we’ve finished the first surgery we have in the morning

“No doctor” she replied

“That’s good, I’ll be leaving the hospital now, there’s a Seminar for that I have to attend”

“Okay sir” Megan said and left

I took my phone and saw a missed call from the spy I placed with Alex and I called back

“I saw a missed call from you, why did you call?” I asked

🗨️ Doctor Alex has a new surgical assistant, her name is Jasmine Wright, she graduated as the top student from the national University so I think she’s really good Sir

“If she’s really good then I can’t allow her to be in Alex’s surgery team, do whatever you can discredit her in front of Alex and make Alex throw her out of his surgery team, if she’s really as good as you say, then she can’t be allowed to work with Alex or she’ll help him raise Alex’s record” I said

🗨️ I’ll do just that Sir

“Thank you Susan, if you succeed in this then I’ll raise your pay”

🗨️ I’ll definitely succeed then

I ended the call with a smile

Susan is trustworthy, am sure she’ll succeed

💊 Jasmine’s POV 💊

I sat in the doctor’s lounge resting

There haven’t been much patients in the accident ward since morning

I guess I was wrong after all, today is not going to be hectic

I suddenly heard an ambulance blaring and I quickly rushed to the front of the hospital

There were more than five ambulance with patients coming in

“What happened?” I asked nurse Chloe

“A petrol tanker exploded, there are many victims and more are still coming in, attend to anyone you can” she said

I quickly rushed to one of the ambulance and a lady was there

She’s badly injured, her head is bleeding and she broke a leg

Read – Dream chapter 1

She was screaming in pain

I quickly brought her out of the ambulance and wheeled her into the hospital

I checked her pulse and it was okay

“Please save me doctor, am in so much pain” she cried

“You’ll be fine ma’am, I just need to stitch the cut on your head” I said

I gave her a painkiller and I stitched the cut but she was still in pain

Her leg is broken and it’s need to be reset, she needs surgery

I saw Susan and I quickly ran to her

“Where is Doctor Alex?” I asked

“He went to attend a Seminar” she replied

“What am I going to do then, that patient needs an urgent surgery to reset her bone and all the senior doctors are busy with other patients, if only am allowed to perform surgery, I can help her”

“Are you sure you can do the surgery for her?” Susan asked

“Yes, am positive”

“Then I’ll help you with it but promise me you’ll keep it a secret from Doctor Alex”

“Of course I won’t tell him, if I do he’s also going to be angry with me” I said

“Then bring the patient, let’s go to the O. R” Susan said

“No, I think we should do a full scanning for her first, she might be injured somewhere else and I also need to know the nature of her broken leg” I said

“Attend to other patients first, I’ll take her for the scanning” Susan said and I nodded

She wheeled the patient out of the ward for scanning and I rushed to the other patients being brought in

Minutes later Susan came back

“I did the scanning and it’s just a fracture, no other complications, I’ve taken her to the O. R already, let’s go” she said and I quickly followed her to the O. R

Part of me was a bit scared, if something goes wrong, Doctor Alex will never forgive me

It’s just bone resetting, I’ve learnt it for years and am sure I can do it
