"...we reviewed your performance after 5 months into this team up with Nurse Mendoza..." Dr. Agoncillo said when he joined Carlo and J at lunch.
"...I have to go...see you later, Doc, Dude..." Carlo said when he heard his name paged.
"...later..." Richard replied.
"...the kids and parents are very much satisfied...sabi nga ng mga nurses, hindi na daw Dr. Sungit ang tawag sa yo..."
Richard shyly smiled with his head bowed.
"...hmm...may gusto ka kay Mendoza ano?" Dr. Agoncillo asked.
"...pretty..." Richard said softly. The din in the cafeteria was slightly chaotic for Dr. Agoncillo to hear this.
"Hmm...nga pala, how was your move to your new apartment? Isn't closer to the hospital than the last one?"
"Yes. It's actually walkable..."
"Pero nagdadala ka pa rin ng car?"
"Yes"
"Ahh..."
"...hinahatid ko sya..."
"Sya?"
"...si..." Richard caught himself and changed the subject, "Doc, yung case ni Mark Arguelles..."
"Sino? Okay na yung kay Mark, na-transfer na sya sa private room sa kabila..."
"Wala po...ah...bacterial diarrhea kasi...baka mahawa yung mga bata sa ward..."
"Hmm...at varicella (chicken pox) din kaya inayos ko agad yung transfer after ma-confirm na yung blisters nya ay sa varicella nga...nasa isolation na muna sya..."
"Okay..."
"So, sino siya?"
PAGING DR. AGONCILLO...DR. REYNAN AGONCILLO...PLEASE PROCEED TO THE PEDIATRIC ANNEX
The speakers blared and cut their conversation short. "...let's talk about this more tomorrow..." Dr. Agoncillo said as he left the cafeteria. J breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to his clinic for his afternoon consultations.
