Chapter Three

After that heartbreaking story of patient 143 hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya e cocomfort.

The next day I received a notice from Dc. Xy the director of neurology department. I was chosen to be the speaker of a medical symposium in patients' 143 university. Kaya mas lalo akong na excite. I don't know bakit may excitement akong naramdaman but still excited ako.

I already prepared myself for the discussion. Since I will be discussing some medical lessons in that symposium with graduating medical students. Isa sana si Jaira sa mga students na yun but still she is still in the hospital para maka recover pero siya mismo yung ayaw na lumaban.

I'm at the university and conduct the symposium. After the discussion. Nag balak na agad akong umuwi, pero naiihi na ako kaya agad ako nag tungo sa pinaka malapit na cr. After ko mag CR I can hear a chitchat from the girls cubicle along the male CR.

"2 days nang hindi pumapasok si pangit ah!" girl 1.

"After that embarrassment in the gym do you think maglalakas loob pa siyang pumasok ulit?" girl 2.

"Embarrassment?" nasa isip ko. While patay mali paring nakikinig.

"Tama naman din kasi yung ginawa ni Hanz. We all know that. And isa pa Hanz is my mine, we are in a relationship for 2 years now. Dumidikit nalang naman kasi siya kay Jai for acads." girl 3.

"Sa pangit niyang yun utak niya na lang yung may pakinabang. Kaya papakinabangan namin ni Hanz yun kasi soon magiging engrs. na din kami both." dagdag nung girl 3.

Di ko alam saan nang gagaling yung galit ko. Pero sa mismong kinatatayuan ko gusto ko iumpog ang ulo nang Hanz na yan sa mismong pader ng CR.
Huminga ako nang malalim atsaka ko pinakalma ang sarili at umalis.

When I reached the hospital. Diretso ako sa quarter para isuot ang doctor gown when my I received an emergency call.

Jaira Garcia Villa-Sanchez is under my care since I am her prescribed doctor.

"Hello dok?" rinig kong boses ni Jonathan mula sa kabilang linya ng phone.

"Ano yun Jon?"

"Dok sa room 143 po patient Villa-Sanchez she is under V-tach. We still reviving her."

"Ilang minutes niyo na siya nirerevive?"

"Around 36 minutes na dok."

I suddenly drop the phone and ran as fast as can to room 143. I saw the nurses and my residents doctors reviving Jaira.

I overtake reviving her.

"Ready to charge. 150."

"Yes dok." Brent ready the charge to 150.

"Charge to 150."

"Charge."

I continue reviving her when suddenly her vitals are back to normal. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nag alala nang ganun. I've never been concerned that way before. Sobra akong nakahinga nang malalim after checking everything is fine now. I just hold her hand while breathing fast.

I was sitting next to her bed, waiting her to regain consciousness. And never realized that I fall asleep.

When I wake up I saw her staring at me and I smiled.

"Wala pang doctor ang nag alala sa'kin gaya nang pag-aalala mo. Nakatulog ka na sa pag hihintay na magising ako."

"It's worth waiting." sagot ko.

"Ayus ka na ba?" tanong ko

"Sa ngayon okay naman na yung pakiramdam ko."

"Mabuti kong ganun."

"Pwede ka na pong bumalik sa quarter mo." saad niya.

"Well, seeing you like this makes me better now. Tawag ka lang if need mo nang assistance."

And for the first she smiled at me.

"That's the first time I see you smiling. You look more pretty when you do that."

Atsaka na 'ko umalis.

Jaira's POV

Nang magising ako nakita ko si Dok Liam na naka tulog na ata sa paghihintay sa akin magising. Sana lahat nang doctor generous kagaya niya. Kahit sa pagiging generous niya nalang ako ma inspire at mamotivate para mabuhay. Gusto ko din talaga maging doctor. Di ko matutupad yun kung magpapatalo ako sa emosyon ko.
