"Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it s...

Due to the large number of the victims from last night's accident, there are some hospital staff that are not supposed to be working right now, that had to be called in for the emergency, and it has been busy since then, and the whole thing has just kind of messed up my whole work schedule because even though I have had a couple of breaks and a spent a couple of hours in the on-call resting room for night shift staffers earlier on, I'm still here, just like most staffers who came in last night, still with a lot of cases to handle before calling it a day.
Walking up to one of my patient's family members, I inform them that their mother who was one of the accident victims just got out of surgery and is recuperating. The relief and Joy on their faces reminds me why I do what I do.
"Thank you, thank you so much doctor." Her husband thanks me enthusiastically, and I smile and nod, before going away.
Aaron was right, this feeling, it never gets old ....it sucks sometimes, because there comes a time when no matter how hard you try, you can't save everyone, and it eats you up inside, but on the other hand, when people get better and get to go back home to their families, it's the best feeling in the world.
Today, every once in a while, I would remember last night and reading the results of Aaron's paternity test, and each time it would bring out yet another smile on my face.
I'm relieved.... I feel like fate is on our side.... everything is just so perfect right now, and I just want things to stay the same.

It's almost noon now, and I want to wrap up my hand over notes so I leave, before anything exciting happens again.
"Hey, aren't you off tomorrow?" One of the nurses asks me.
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, I just saw your name on the OR surgery schedule for tomorrow afternoon." she says and I sigh.
"Whose's the lead surgeon?"
"Myer." the word sends bile to my throat.
He has been alot less brutal with me laltely, but I should have expected that he would still relentless ok n his mission to make my life here difficulty.
"Thanks, excuse me." I say, patting her on the shoulder and going to the surgery board to see for myself.
There, I see my name, scrubbed in for tomorrow's procedure.
I'm pissed.
He knows very well that it's my day off, because I specifically mentioned to him twice this week. I have literally worked my ass off this week and even more so because this hasn't been my healthiest week, but I didn't want to give anyone any excuse to ground me here on saturday. It just annoys me that he keeps trying to get under my skin.
I start heading towards the OR, where I expect him to be carrying out an appendectomy.
I find him just in time as he is in the pre op washroom, surrounded by interns, while they all prep for the procedure.
