7 CHAPTER-6

(NEW WORK)

Aubrey's POV

After the introductions with everyone, Dr. Daniel started asking the interns about the patients assigned to them. It is a rule in the hospital that the patients under every doctor is divided among the interns of the respective doctor. The interns are required to take rounds during their shifts to look after the patient they are assigned to and the main doctor deals with the reports, surgery or other emergency situations, this system helps the main doctor to attend more patients . If anything happens to the patient the intern doctor is called first and if further required the main doctor is called, this helps in saving time and also in the meantime many other patients can be treated on time. Right now we are discussing about the reports of the admitted patients.

'Yes, I understand, hmm, hmm, yeah this is the reason why we gave him dopamine.'

'Ok sir, now I understand.' said Dr. Zoe looking at Dr. Daniel.

'Ok good, but any one of you present here would like to elaborate on this topic.' asked Dr. Daniel.

'Sir, we did this because the patient .....' I raised my hand and then elaborated on the topic.

'Very good Lieutenant Huxley, that is exactly what I expect from a AMC pass out.' Dr. Daniel looked pleased.

I always have been the one to please everyone, even without doing anything and my dean thought this was my very strong point and I cannot deny her on this point.

'Thank you sir.' I was happy to be praised, I mean who isn't, here or there everyone like to praised.

I could hear two of the interns, who were most probably Noah and Anna whispering to each other 'Her being from AMC doesn't mean she is best at everything, even we studied medical, we also are doctors'.

I replied while looking at them 'Yes you guys are right I am not perfect at everything, and I even don't want to be because I go with the saying Not so perfect, but so beautiful.'

Anna: Ab.. a.. we weren't taking about you specifically, we were just generally talking.

' Yeah, I know right, no need to worry I am not someone who like to hold grudges.' I said not so grudgingly.

Dr. Daniel intervened in between: Ahmm Lieutenant Huxley I would like you to take patient 100 and 101, who is their respective doctor please hand over their charts to her.

Amelia and Zoe who were most probably there attending doctors handed me their files. I was given the charts of the two patients; I skimmed through the chart to make sure I was knowing everything and there is nothing to ask Dr. Daniel and after that I just nodded at him to indicated I got everything and there was nothing to ask.

'Good, Rachel I would be glad if you could give Lieutenant Huxley a brief intro to what she needs to do and also a quick visit to the hospital campus, before you head over to the patients.' asked Dr. Daniel.

Rachel: Yes sir, sure.

'Come let's go'. She told me and after that we went to our not so small tour of the hospital campus, which I might add was really big, no doubt it is called the biggest hospital of Texas.

'Ok see this is X-ray room, the one on right is pathology lab, on left is thoracic center, ER is there and neurology center is that way, Operation Theater is here and this is waiting room for the patients relatives and then finally at the basement of the hospital, we have our cafeteria, come I'll show you.

Well if you need anything you just need to swipe your Id card here at the counter and the money will automatically be deducted from your salary, so that means all you need in the hospital is your Id card, so don't lose it, it is a means of survival here, hahaha'.

'Regarding what we have to do here, so you have morning shift so you will be coming at 8 am daily right, so the first shift is at 10 am, then at 12 pm, and then at 2 pm and then lastly at 4pm. So in conclusion you need to check on your patients 4 times during your shift, well there would attending nurses for the patients with them 24/7 who would be taking care of them and during any kind of emergency they will call the attending doctor, for your patients that would be you so remember to update your name and number to the nurse there, if you are not able to handle the situation make sure you call Dr. Dani he will handle it, so you don't need to worry and off course you need help come straight to me, okay.

'Hmm, okay, but I had a question who is Dr. Dani?' I asked her kind of confused.

'Of well, don't tell me I forgot to tell you that it is Dr. Daniel's nickname that his mother gave him, you can also call him that, don't worry he himself allowed us to. So, finally are you ready to meet your patients?' Rachel said replying back.

'Yeah, I guess it is finally time, let's go.' I said to her.

'You know the way you speak, it is very, I don't know the exact word for it, but I guess I am going to say it is very charming, really'.

I laughed a little at what she said and then we got into lift together, and she pressed for floor 4, which means my patients will be on floor 4, I cannot wait to see and meet them. I have worked hard for all these year for this day to come, all of my memories flashed in front of my eyes and I can't keep myself from smiling at the thought. All in all it was a very promising start.

I'm a mess of horrid thoughts and beautiful words, of silent chaoses and load verses.
