A Cut To Love

Chapter 3

SAVANAH

So yesterday night when I prayed to God saying change my tomorrow for good, it doesn't mean, throwing $30 worth of Starbucks and cutting an innocent man's hand with a scalpel when he was returning my wallet.

Why did I even have a bloody scalpel in my hand, at the coffee shop?

Because you found it in your coat this morning while cleaning it and what a nice idea to hold it in your hand.

Poor man, I couldn't even lift my eyes to face him, my face was bright red from the embarrassment.

Thank God the cut was not too deep, otherwise, he would have strangled me with his bare hands.

Well that's a tempting thought, isn't it?

He wore a silver black Rolex which is so made for his wrist only. God, I am ogling on a man's hand now.

Get a grip on yourself Savanah.

Entering the hospital see, the three minions waiting for their drinks.
"Hey muffin, where are the drinks, me and Charlee have surgery in 20min. " Jose asked.

Jose Mark is a Neuro attending at the hospital I love this guy, but it makes me wonder why he calls me a muffin.

Charlie Haul is Jose's boyfriend. And a general surgery resident too.

"well, not today" and I told them everything that happened. Only to get 3....2...1 here you go, "you suck."  Jul said.

"Why didn't you look at his face, you bimbo?" Jul practically screamed this girl can't keep her volume down, especially after her break up, she is becoming more sarcastic than usual.

"Why would I, he might be in pain or anger or a horrible combination of both, I wouldn't I risk my life on that," I argued.

"Now he must be thinking you are a weirdo," Jul stated. "Who cares what he thinks, I am never gonna meet him again."

Okay, I think..... I don't mean that.

Clearing the air around, I went to the chief's office.
As I entered I was engulfed in a big hug.

Dr Richard has always been my supporter and mentor, right from my junior year in college I shadowed him, then in med school, he was my teacher, I did my internship under him and now doing my residency.

Is it normal to feel more fatherly affection for someone else as compared to your dad, because I most certainly do.

"Good morning Dr Nolic." I greeted him with affection, I adore this person, after shadowing him in my junior year of college, he saw a surgical potential in me and directed me to become a surgeon rather than a clinical psychologist.

I am so grateful to him, to guide me otherwise God knows what would have happened, I am so content with my job, it makes me happy that I can help and save people's lives.

He shows more faith in me than my  parents.

"Good Morning, Savanah I have three good news for you." He excitedly told me.
"What are we waiting for, pop the news, sir." I was extremely nervous plus excited.

Dr Nolic sighed and said, "In the next 6 months you are gonna be an attending doctor. I got the list today in the morning."

"Oh my God......are you serious, oh my goodness." My vision got blurred by tears which need an outlet to express my happiness.

Dr Nolic patted on my back and said, "time for good news number 2" he paused and said, "your research paper has been verified, going to be published in a month and at the upcoming medical ball you will represent it."
