Chapter 34

"When did you actually meet Jazmine?" Huey emphasized.

"Let's see...I remember it was somewhere in the middle of June," James said thinking about it.

____________________

I first met Jazmine at the Washington Hospital. She was one of our new nurses that came in and she would be working under me.

Since Jazmine aspired to be a doctor in the future, Ms. Grace, who was our nurse practitioner had assigned Jazmine to me.

I was in my office looking at some papers on a patient I had. I wrote down as side notes what medicine to prescribe them so I could go back and give them the prescription.

Usually, the nurse would take notes, come back with the information, and then I work my magic by telling them the results based on the information I see.

The last nurse I had got fired because she kept presenting me with misinformation and she was always late. That not only looked bad on her, but it also looked bad on me as a doctor.

I wasn't going to let her ruin my name and the hospital's name because she put in less effort to check a patient correctly.

Ms. Grace got so many complaints about her from my patients that I decided to fire her.

She told me I would have to check my patients myself until she could find me a new nurse.

The problem was that no nurses wanted to work under me because my patients were hard to deal with. Not with how the way they act, but the nurses sometimes couldn't identify what problem they had due to the patients' symptoms.

Most of the nurses that worked at this hospital didn't have a college degree which bothered me. They got their licenses from their high schools that offered classes, but some of them didn't take those classes into mind when they actually became a nurse.

Another reason why other nurses didn't like working under me is that I had way too many patients that came in while other doctors didn't have that many. If you worked as a nurse under me you wouldn't get that many off days.

I started to write down a prescription for my patient and then I heard a knock at my door. I looked up from my paper to see Ms. Grace standing at my door.

"Ms. Grace, how can I help you?" I asked sitting my stuff down.

"Dr. Anderson, I would like for you to meet your new nurse, Jazmine," she said smiling as I looked at her confused.

I didn't see who she was talking about and then she looked to her side smiling at Jazmine. "Come on, don't be shy," she said encouraging Jazmine to show herself. 

I sat there and waited for Jazmine to show herself and then she finally showed herself.

I looked her up and down to see she had creamy skin, two large puffballs, green eyes, and strawberry hair, and she had the standard body type for a woman.

I feel like I've seen this girl before!

"Jazmine, go ahead and introduce yourself to Dr. Anderson. After all, you're going to be working under him," Ms. Grace said as Jazmine took a deep breath and stepped in front of me.

"Hi, my name is Jazmine DuBois," she said holding her hand out.

DuBois...I know I've heard that name before.

"DuBois," I repeated, "Would you happen to be related to Tom DuBois, the lawyer,?" I asked as her eyes widen.

"Yes, that's my dad!" she excitedly spoke. I smiled and just shook her hand.
