Pain in His Heart

The next day, I was working at the hospital again. Today was no different from the other days, the hospital was swamp with patients. I had no idea where the patients came from but there seemed to be endless supply of patients. Most of them were injured soldiers that were sent for some serious treatment.

Fortunately, that support the area that I wanted to study and practice. However, it was unfortunate that so many people got hurt from battles and wars. I had no idea up until recently, that the empire was constantly at war. The peace that I observed here in the capital wasn’t common in cities at the boarder or close to it.

I was busy helping a royal doctor stitch up a leg wound when there was a ruckus outside. My stomached lurched at the sound and I had a feeling that I knew what was happening outside.

“You should go…” the old doctor whispered to me.

It was clear that he had the same thoughts as I did.

“Umm…yea…” I mumbled in reply.
