540 Words
On the way back, the couple were chatting and were interrupted by the ringing of Angie's phone from her Personal Assistant at the hospital.
Good afternoon Doctor Smith greeted the PA.
Good afternoon to you too Alicia replied Angie.
I am calling you about a patient who is about to give birth, this patient needs to give birth by Cesarean section said Ms Tuner.
Where is Dr. Peterson asked Angie.
I tried to call him and I found out that he went to Mozambique due to the donor matter, Alicia answered.
Did the nurse give the patient any medicine, asked Angie.
Yes of course Doctor Smith, the nurses gave her midazolam for reducing stress and a combination of a local anesthetic and an opioid.
Okay that's good, I'm on my way, keep updating me about this patient because its going to take me 30 minutes to arrive said Angie who hung up the phone.
What's wrong dear asked Peter.
Honey please take me to the hospital, there is an emergency I'm going to perform a surgical procedure to a mother that's going to give birth with c-section Angie answered.
Peter drove the car towards the hospital, after thirty minutes they entered the hospital gate.
I will wait for you my love said Peter.
No problem Honey, answered Angie, who was getting out of the car. Angie enters the hospital and goes to her office to put on her scrubs. When she left the office, a nurse came.
Doctor Smith I'm glad you came, here is the patient's file said the Nurse who gave Angie the file.
Why does the patient need a Cesarean section, asked Angie.
We found out that the cause is uterine rupture.
Where is the patient, asked Angie.
She is already at the operating room, five nurses are with her, replied the nurse.
Angie and the nurse went to the operating room and to start the c-section procedure.
In thirty minutes, they had taken the baby out of the womb.
Wow it's a boy said Angie happily.
That's great news answered another nurse who took the baby from Angie.
The patient must be discharged on Monday, she must be transfused because she has lost a lot of blood, said Angie while stitching the woman's incision with absorbable sutures.
When Angie is done with her patient, she wrote the medicine that will be needed in the woman's file and congratulated her.
Ms Norah Congratulations for bringing a new handsome member at your family said Angie.
Thank you, doctor, replied the patient.
I'm leaving now, your treatment will be brought by the nurse, said Angie, who took off her gloves and threw them in the trash can, leaving the door of the operating room and heading to her office to take off her scrubs.
When she finished, she went straight to the parking lot to get into the car.
You look so happy dear, what happened asked Peter.
It's just the operation went well and my patient is blessed with a handsome baby boy.
Wow! Honey that's great, You are such a wonderful doctor ever, said Peter happily
Thank you so much My lovely husband, replied Angie smiling.
After fifty minutes Peter and Angie had arrived at their house.
