A Cut To Love

SAVANAH

"Dr Savanah please check the heart rate," Cole said.

"Stable you can proceed Dr Nolic," I said.

Today I am assisting Cole with surgery on a patient who had a burnt face and had unstable heart conditions.

The anaesthesia can trigger the heart and can cause fast rhythmic beatings called arrhythmia. Which can put you through a heart attack.

I am just here for precautionary measures and almost his face is dealt with now.

Suddenly the patient's heart rate began to drop, he is having a heart attack.

I took over the patient and insert the balloon catheter over the guidewire, and then inflate it to open up the blockage by squeezing the fat and cholesterol (plaque) buildup against the arterial wall. This allows blood flow from the heart to resume the pumping of the heart.

Well, it only took me 45 minutes to remove the blockage.
The blockage was removed and the heartbeat was normal.

Cole took over and started to form the rest of his face. I stood there for maybe next time they need me but fortunately, my presence was not needed there anymore.

After the end of the surgery both me and Cole walked out of the Operation theatre and started to remove our gloves and other stuff.

"You did good Dr Savanah, I saw you doing the surgery you were very cool," Cole said with a smile on his face.

This smile was honest, it wasn't the one he gave me with Leo. It had an adoration for me but I didn't like that.

"Thanku Dr Nolic, but the most work was done by you and if I would have lost my cool we would have lost our patient," I said

"So what are you doing for the weekend," Cole asked.

"My Friday is busy but Saturday I don't have surgeries and my Sunday is a holiday for me," I said without even thinking why would he ask me.

"Great, would you by any chance want to go out for dinner with me like just catching up." He asked nervously fiddling with his fingers.

Cole was a brilliant surgeon but for the first time in a week, I saw him nervous.

Oh my God no I don't want to go out of him. My heart started to beat faster than usual not a good one.

I even told him my schedule now I can't make an excuse. Oh shit, Savanah you are nuts.

The only thing that can save me was Leo.

"Sure I will text Leo he can also join us I mean you both also know each other it would be fun with three of us," I said in one flow and I could see the sadness on his face.

"Ya I will also call one of my friends we all can go for it like a double date." He said with a challenging tone.

Jesus Christ, double date I have never even gone on a single date and I won't know who the girl might be, and what happens if Leo rejects the idea.

He is gonna be so angry with me, please help me, my God.

"Cool see you then there," I said.

"I will text you the details," Cole said and I left with a mini panic attack.

....................

It's now 8 in the evening and I drove back to my apartment, today I didn't even meet Leo.

As I reached home I went to take a shower and remove all the blood smell from me.

As the warm droplets of water hit my skin, my thoughts drifted to a certain man with green eyes. Leo.
