Caroline

I frowned at the name that appeared on the screen before picking up.

"We had an emergency and you left without attending to the patient, nurse Carol!" the doctor said through the phone and with the way his voice sounded, I knew he was trying really hard to stifle his anger and not to sound so mad. 

"I apologize, doc. I had an emergency at home. My mum had a chicken bone stuck in her throat," I said and my mum shut me a hard stare that almost made me burst out laughing. 

"Oh, well. Since you have the bone out of her throat, you'd be in charge of the patient and you need to resume to that by tomorrow!" 

"How was the surgery?" I asked without giving a response to what he had said earlier since I really do not know how to feel about that. 

"Well, the surgery went well and the young man was lucky to have the gunshot not hit his vitals!" The doctor explained and I sat on the sofa in surprise. 

"A gunshot?"
