Chapter One

POV Louis

"Time of death 6:13 PM."

Is what I say while we all look at the body of the recently deceased patient. She was already an old woman in her late 70s. She fell down the stairs and died from her injuries during the surgergy.

"You know we couldn't have done much right? We did everything we could." Zayn told me. "you had a long shift why don't you go home? You look tired and you smell. I will inform the family about Mrs."

I take off my gloves. "you sure? I mean she is officially my patient."

"Yeah you worked a shift for me last week so it's all good." Zayn said.

I take one last quick look at the dead body. "Well allright then, I see you home okay?"

"See ya' Zayn waved.

"Oh and by the way I don't smell." I say as I walk out of the OR.

"oh hell you do go shower stinky!" I could hear Zayn yell.

I smile to myself. I love him well as a friend ofcourse, I've known Zayn for many years. We both started as students and are now both certified surgeons. My specialty is trauma because I like the chaotic way of working, the fast acting and ofcourse the adrenaline kick you get when the patient comes in. Zayn on the other hand likes to working with a schedule that's why he specializes in neuro surgery.

But that doesn't matter to me because I don't know where I would have ended up without my bestfriend Zayn.

"Wait who stinks?" I hear someone ask as I walk to the staff's private room. When I turn around I see Edgar he is the boss of this hospital his full name is Edgar Kemp, even the hospital is named after him but we just call him chief.

"Oh no one. I just wanted to leave I had a long shift and the last patient who came in last night did not survive." I tell chief I don't want him or anyone to notice that it most of the time still hurts to lose a patient even after all these years of experience.

"I'm sorry are you okay? you know even if the patient is old or you don't know the patient that well. It still kinda hurt but thats good because it means you still care about the well being of you're patient." Chief says seriously.

Edgar had many years of experience as a surgeon, he was my mentor back when I was still a student. He made me the surgeon I am today, and I know that I'm damn good at my job.

"I know." my response is quick because I really don't want to talk about this topic. "Anyway what is the status about those new students?" I ask hoping he forgets the topic of the dead woman.

"Oh good that you mention it I almost forgot to tell you." He looks at me like he knows I'm not going to like the things he is gonna tell me. "About the new students uhm I got a new list from the organization, you know the big bosses from the hospital. The first idea was that only Zayn would take a first year fellow under is wing."

"There is more isn't it?" I know chief like the back of my hand.

"Okay okay yeah there is more just think about it first before you freak out. The organization send me a list of another student, his grade list was very impressive. He only scored 2 points less than you in your student days."

I looked surprised at chief. "Well that is not a bad thing right? I mean we need new staff eventually. What will he specialize in?"

The chief is silent for a while and looks blank at me before he says: "trauma."

"Oh well that nice- wait trauma? No that can't be true, that means he would become my student and I'm his mentor."

Chief runs his hands through his hair. "Yes Louis he is gonna be your student. I know you're not looking forward to it but we need it, the hospital needs it. The more we can train students to become surgeons, the better the hospital get good scores at the end of the year. We can't lose again from the Standfords."
