Reasons
Everybody at the hospital welcomed us with smiles on their faces. I feel like they're grateful that we are finally back.
Some nurses who I haven't talked to before are smiling at me. I gladly return the smile. They all look shocked. Lumapit naman sa akin si Miranda, ang head nurse sa ward kung nasaan ako ngayon. She handed me the medical record of the first patient I will be having today. We walked towards the emergency room.
"Leila Castillo. Thirty-two years old. Involved in a car accident but only has minor injuries. She's over here, Doc." Miranda pointed at the woman who's sitting on the medical bed. Lumapit ako sa kanya.
"Thanks, Miranda." Sabi ko. Nakita ko namang kumunot ang noo niya.
"You're... welcome." Then she walked away, wondering why I thanked her.
Miranda is still confused when she left me alone with the patient. Nagkibit balikat na langa ko at hinarap na ang pasyente.
"Hello, Leila." I greeted my first patient. Tumingala siya sa akin at tipid na ngumiti.
I started examining her arm when I saw a deep cut. Pati na rin sa mukha niya ay mayroon din. I asked her what happened, and she told me that she accidentally cut herself at work.
I grabbed a chair and sat on it. Hinila ko ang lalagyan kung nasaan ang mga kakailanganin ko. Kinuha ko naman ang kanyang braso para gamutin na ang kanyang sugat.
While I'm in the middle of cleaning up her wounds, she spoke.
"You're a very beautiful doctor." She complimented me. Tiningnan ko siya at ngumiti. Binalik ko naman muli ang sarili sa paggagamot ng kanyang sugat.
"Thank you," I replied.
"But you look sad." Dagdag niya.
Hindi ko siya tiningnan at pinagpatuloy na lang ang ginagawa. Tinagilid ko ang aking ulo para mas makita pa ang kanyang sugat.
"I'm not," sagot ko.
"You are."
Bahagya akong natawa. Sino ba siya para masabi kung anong nararamdaman ko? I am here for work. I am not here to be vulnerable in front of a patient, so I will not give any of that attention.
"Stop pretending." aniya.
Dahil doon, napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanya. Kunot noo ko siyang tiningnan. Gusto ko na sanang sabihin sa kanya na itigil na niya kung ano man ito pero nagpatuloy siya.
"It will hurt more if you keep on pretending. I've been through that...trust me." she smirked at me.
"Ah...I'll keep that in mind, Leila. Thank you." Sabi ko at sabay tumayo na para ang sugat naman niya sa mukha ang magamot ko.
