I yawned as I stood up. Iniwan na ko ni Doc Bryan dito since patapos na yung case at nakapagsulat na siya ng post operative orders. Since spinal anesthesia lang naman 'to, need na lang ihatid sa PACU (post-anesthesica care unit). This is my 3rd case for today. Puro short cases lang naman ngayon. Yung una was a CS, tapos debridement then this one is appendectomy. Ako na rin nga pinag-induce ni Doc ng spinal anesthesia kanina.
"Mark." Narinig ko naman and I turned to the voice to see Hannah.
"Yeah?"
"Tapos ka na no?"
"Yeah. Ihahatid ko na lang sa RR." Sabi ko naman.
She nodded. "Okay. Sabay na tayo kumain. Dumaan na kanina si Nicz, andyan na food mo. Sinabi ko may case ka."
Medyo nagulat ako dun. I didn't ask Nicz to bring me food. And she didn't say din na dadaan siya even sa text.
Actually, we didn't really talk much since leaving my house earlier. Tahimik lang yung drive namin tapos nakatulog din siya. Dumaan kami sa dorm saglit so we could change to our uniforms tapos dumerecho na rin dito sa hospital. We just talked 'pag needed, but we were mostly quiet.
And I know naman na it's my fault but I was still upset about our talk last night.
"Huy Mark. Andun na patient mo." Sabi naman ni Hannah which brought me out of my trance.
Without saying anything to her, sinundan ko na yung patient ko sa Recovery Room.
Nung settled na yung patient dun, pumunta na rin ako sa OR pantry. Andun na si Hannah. Kaming dalawa lang andito ngayon. I guess busy pa yung iba kahit 12nn na. Madami din kasing cases ngayon. Puro short cases pero more than 30 ata yung Surgery and OB-Gyne combined.

Nag-wave naman si Hannah pagpasok ko at tinuro yung paper bag sa may tabi niya. Yun siguro yung food na dinala ni Nicz.
I sat down and sighed, then took the bag. I'm feeling guilty now.
"Okay, that's it. Spill. Anong nangyari? Nag-away ba kayo ni Niknik?"
"Huh?"
Hannah rolled her eyes at me. Pero to be honest, I was really caught off guard sa question niya.
