I glance at the clipboard in my hands sighing. It was already eleven in the night and my shift was nowhere near overing. Wednesdays were always the busiest day at the hospital, it seems that everyone just decide that they were going to get injured on a Wednesday when I had night shift.
Doctor Cameron- who was an intern at the hospital- suddenly appeared in front of me making g me halt my steps.
He bend over resting his hands on his knees panting, it looks as if he had run to where I was. Holding up one finger telling me to wait before standing up looking at me.
"What is it?"I asked crossing my arms across my chest tapping my foot inpaitently.
"Dr. We have a paitent coming in about the next five minutes . His name is Zedrain Balic, he was shot in his shoulder and the bullet had damaged a few muscles".
"And why are you telling me this?" I asked. Normally it was Dr. Dylan who was in charge of these simple cases not me . As if understanding the question on my face he further explained.
"Dr. Dylan's shift was over a few minutes ago and i already checked if he was still here but Sarah said he checked out already and others are unavailable at this moment...... believe me you're the last person I would've come to"he muttered the last part under his breath but I still heard him. I've had a long night and can't be bothered with his bullshit right now. Sarah was the hospitals receptionist, a very nice old lady who had worked here all her life but soon she will be retiring.
"What did you say?" I asked glaring at him even though I had heard what he said. He shrink back glancing anywhere but at me.
"Uh, t-the room is being prepared as we speak, ma'am"
"Good," I walked to the elevator stepping inside just as the hospital door at the end of the corridor burst open and a flood of doctors came in pushing a hospital bed. A nurse shout me to hold the elevator, I vaguely remember her as nurse Gardon. As they approach closer to where I was, so I could see the person on the bed. I gasp looking at the unconscious body lying on the bed with a bleeding hole in his left shoulder.
Zedrain?
As in tho Zedrain I had slep with was lying there shirtless with only his army pants on and he was the paitent that I was to work on
***
"A doctor huh?" I heard his deep voice came from behind me, I turned around to see Zedrain with his arms popped behind his head.
"You're gonna re-open the wound if you keep your hand like that"I said narrowing my eyes at him. He just shugged giving me a smirk.
"I'm used to pain" he said and a unknown emotional flicked across his eyes but it was gone before I could know what it is.
I raised my brows not believing him "how can someone get use to being in pain?'
"You can. If it's all you've ever known." The sad look in his eyes, made me wonder what this man in front of me had gone through. I know that being in the army comes with risk and the training is though but I don't think if this has to do with the army.
"Zedrain-"
"So when can I get it to you it of here?" He said completely cutting me off. His face was a blank mask now it's as if I'd imagine that but I know I didn't.
"You're shoulder seems to be alright, although I would advise you against doing too much work with it. You'll be outta here by morning. Do you want me to priscribe any pain medicine? " For moment we just stayed like that in silence staring at each other before he broke it.
"Nah I'm good. will you be here?" I looked up at him surprise, did he want me here?
"No, I have the day off, plus my shift is now officially over." I said glancing at the clock then back at Zedrain.
"Oh okay" he said and
"I'll guess I'll see you again"
"Hopefully not" he said and I was taking aback. I stood there and blinked before turning around to leave but his voice stopped me.
"Unless...." He started making me turn around to look at him.
"It's over dinner"
"I-I don't know"
