San Vicente Series #1, Moon Embraces The Sun

Thirteen

"Zanne, Nakita kong may appointment pala ako bukas kay Mr. Dominic Masandro. Ano naman sakit nun?" Ashia said out of nowhere.

"Malamang sa Puso, Cardiologist ka diba? Kung may sakit sya sa ulo magpapacheck ba sya sa isang cardio?" Sun said sabay Kain ng pagkain nya.

Akmang ibabato na ni ashia yung soda nya kay suinnee pero natigilan lamang sya nung may tumawag kay suinnee. "Excuse me, sasagutin ko lang to". Agad lumabas si sun galing sa opisina ni ashia.

"Pwede naman sagutin nalang dito" sagot ko nanparang kinakausap pa si suinnee, tumawa si ashia at patuloy kaming kumain.

Napagusapan namin ni ashia yung renovation ng operating room sa kabilang building, inexpect na namin na magiging masikip ang Building One dahil siguradong magtratransfer lahat dito.

"Tsaka nga pala, may narinig ako kanina sa OR na ipina abot na ni vira yhng sinasabi nya satin na ikakaalis mo sa pwesto mo ngayon, Sabi pa kanina baka daw next month magiging free na yung slot mo." Ani ashia.

Hindi na ako nabigla sa sinabi ni ashia, as expected Vira is trying so hard to bring me down, Marami akong naging contribute dito sa hospital na to, bluntly speaking, i won a lot of awards and offered a lot of job positions sa ibang bansa, pero mas pinili ko dito sa pinas mag trabaho dahil dito ako lumaki at nag aral at tama lang na itong bansa rin ang pagsilbihan ko.

Nung pataas ng pataas yung career ko, the hospital itself got it's own advantage, as for one of the best Pediatrician in the country, the hospital itself was mentioned a lot of times, ito na rin ang recommended hospital when it comes to pediatrics. The Pediatric administration here is great and all the doctors were hardworking kaya deserve naman lahat ng awards.

And just as i thought, Im almost the Chief Executive Officer of this Hospital how can my assistant bring me down? An ASSISTANT.

"Pabayaan mo sya, wala syang mapapala" sagot ko kay ashia, tumawa naman si ashia at pinagusapan namin yung mga araw na kasama namin si Vira, i even said sorry to her during med school, Mabait sya sa amin noon, ganoon din naman kami sa kanya, hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit nagkakaganito sya.

We treated her like a sister, i hope she treated us like that too, parang sya na ata yung replace ni suinnee e noong med school. I swear we loved her truly, i just dont understand why she changed when we started our Residency.

Nagulat kami sa biglaang pagbukas ng pinto ni ashia, there i saw vira with other nurses, hapong hapo yung ibang nurses at dire-diretsong pumasok si vira at hinarap ako. Hindi ako nagpatinag sa tingin nya at tiningnan ko rin sya.

"How can you be so irresponsible, huh? One of the patients experienced asthma exacerbation! Yet her you are having chit chat with your freaking friends" sigaw ni vira at tinapunan ng tingin si ashia at suinnee, lumabas ang mga nurses at sinarado ang pinto nanatili akong nakatingin kay vira at para naman syang unggoy na galit ngayon.

"Responsibility huh? Can you tell me who prescribed a wrong medication for a recovering patient? And for your information, my duty is over, and i didn't expect even not on my duty hours you couldn't rely on yourself. Tell me, vira, nag aral ka ba talaga? Off duty ko na ngayon at ako pa yung sinisisi mong iresponsable? Im sure Dr. Chang did well there" kalmado kong sagot sa kanya, and before ako nag off napagusapan na namin ni Dr. Chang yung patient, i told him to watch the patient kasi baka anytime im off duty the child will have an attack, and this girl right in front of me attacked me without hesitation. I pity her.

"And Dra. Jimenez, let me tell you that you're not welcome in my own office" ashia added.

Masama ang titig samin ni vira at para bang ilang oras na lang ay sasabog na sya sa galit, namumula na sya at nakakuyom ang mga kamay, she should have a better plan kung hahanap sya ng rason para maipabagsak ako.
