Prologue
I was on my way to the on-call room when a nurse rushed toward me, calling me in exclamation.
"Doc! Emergency! We have stabbed person. kailangan po agad operahan. wala na po'ng general surgeon on call, Doc Rensolave's at the OR 1 pa po," She said as she gasped for oxygen. Halatang hinagdan niya lang ang dalawang palapag na pagitan mula sa ER at dito. Agad na akong sumunod.
Wait for a little longer my little boy, sana hindi ka pa tulog pag-uwi ko. She fills me with the patient's details as we run to the ER.
"Scissors," Asik ko sa isang nurse at sinimulang gupitin ang damit ng pasyente. Two deep stabs, one on chest and one on abdomen.
"Vital signs, 100 over 70. Pulse 130," One of the interns said, nagpapakitang gilas. I took a glance at her and smirked.
"Set up IV lines and execute a full drop," I said and examined the wound. "Get the sonogram and check for hemoperitoneum."
"Doc, saturation's at 88 percent we need to perform an intubation," the intern said again which made me shift my gaze to hers.
"Leave," I ordered in finality. "Get me a new intern!" I said to the nurse who rushed to me earlier. After the intern got arrived, I immediately ordered him to perform intubation.
"Blood pressure's 80 over 40." the nurse announced.
"Get two packs of emergency RBCs. Ikaw intern, get RIS ready." I ordered. "If his BP rises above 100, take CT scan as well."
"We have another stab patient! Doc Valmorida!" A Nurse once again called me, so I rushed towards that bed and my whole system shut down when I saw who is the person lying there, bathing in her own blood.
