beginning

An ambulance reached the hospital only in a few minutes. Two staffs exited it and carried an injured, unconscious guy in the stretcher, hurriedly brought him inside and laid him on the hospital bed before pushing the bed to the emergency room.

That person got into a car accident.

In room 101, a doctor was doing checkups of a little boy, her patient. "How's my boyfriend doing?" she asked the small boy, having him giggle. "Missing his girlfriend," he said with a cute little pout.

Her hands instantly went to pull his cheeks, making him blush. She reduced his dosage of medicine and handed the prescription to the nurse.

"You are already healthy—"

But she got cut off when her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was a call from her senior, Dr. Choi. She answered the call and waited for him to speak.

"Dr. Song, there is an emergency."

Right after the call ended, he noticed her patient's sad face. "I'll visit you soon, okay?" She gave him a bar of chocolate before rushing out of the room and to the emergency room, where senior was there scanning an X-Ray film.

An injured person was lying on the bed unconsciously as she walked closer and scanned his body. The nurses had already stopped the excess blood flow. His left leg was in a weird shape and a small bone was poking out of the skin, indicating a leg fracture. The X-Ray film was handed to her to have a look of it.

The surgery was urgent.

"You will be getting new team members for the surgery," Dr. Choi stated, only to have her sigh.

A new team meant disturbance in smoothness and she was well aware of it but didn't protest for the sudden change of team members. A doctor should treat a patient in any worst circumstances and this was a minor one compared to others.

"I'll lead the surgery with the new team," she agreed without wasting any time and Dr. Choi wished her luck before leaving the emergency room. "Shift the patient immediately to the operating room," she said and went for the preparation of the surgery.

After everything was prepared, she walked to the operating room where the doctors and nurses were already waiting for her. Thank god, at least she knew the names and faces of the most except for few who were completely new.

"Details?" she asked.

"A broken left leg and some minor injuries, unconscious because of shock, no major back injuries, no spinal cord injury," one of the old faces spoke. Sure enough, she was a bit nervous because of the new team but tried her best not to show the nervousness to the team members.

Very well aware of the fact that other doctors and nurses highly depends on the head surgeon since there was a time when she used to be in their place.

"All the best guys."

The new team tried their best to impress the head surgeon. Hours passed, the door of the operating room was still closed.

There was a girl waiting for the patient outside the room who was informed to be the patient's younger sister. She didn't talk about this with their parents since they were out of the country for a vacation.
