*Wiwooo-wiwoo-wiwoooo wiwoo* Coming from the ambulance urgently and carefully transferring the patient down in the stretcher and going inside the emergency room.
The patient lost a lots of blood from a gunshot is what they were saying so here I am also standing beside and waiting for this patient to enter.
Hello. My name is Yu, my work here? Uh I'm a Medical technologist residing in this newly build hospital. So here I am patiently waiting for them to put the patient down to its bed to draw some blood even though we have more patients waiting, the heads or the bosses said there should be a standby doctor, nurses, medtech, respi and etc. since they said so, it's either complying or memo? So we patiently are waiting aside.
Since the higher ups or the bosses personally catering the patients, this patient must be?
Hmmm?
This patient must be a VVIP? To think that they are all here just to process its papers. So were all keeping are mouth close cause the bosses are here. We must behave and be attentive. But there is some staff that is ****
"Ma' am, sir take a sit I will process the papers for you" , "Sir you want a drinks? I'll get you one. What do you prefer tea? Coffee? Juice or blah blah blah", "Do you need something ma'am? How may I help you?", "You are always beautifully fashioned madam.*smiled widely*" They are the attention and promotion seekers. I know that I am being a judger here but I kept that all by myself only. No hurt feelings.
Like there is something fishy to that patient that they personally processing its paper and as far as I know they will keep that as confidential. So they want to do it by themselves.
Since this patient loss a volume of blood, he needs a blood transfusion. The doctor ordered 3 units of packed red blood cell. So they ordered blood typing, crossmatching and other blood test ASAP.
I am saying this hospital of ours is a tertiary and just starting up so I can't question the Heads if they will prioritize this patient.
I heard this patient came from an influential family. Some say he look like a model an artist.
Maybe he himself is an influential person? Is what I am thinking but he look so young when I catch a glimpse of his face. I barely see because the doctors are covering the patient and I am more focusing in the arm of the patient. With all the doctors around and the bosses watching what you are doing, who wouldn't feel any pressure right? I need my composure so I inhale and exhaled and then I draw some blood to the patient. We need his blood sample ASAP to process its blood test.
After my pressured moments there I came back to our area the ER laboratory and gave the sample to my partner performed the test urgently. I need to process the other sample too and there's a lot already.
Okay back to work.
Processing the samples of this and that patient, accommodating the outpatients, extract blood here and there,
The never ending laboratories,
A telephone that keeps ringing now and then.. And keeps answering too of course…
The nurses coming back and forth..
The doctors checking their patients..
The orderly keeps running errands accompanying some admissions..
The registrations
The patients that keeps shouting, complaining and can't wait for their turn
The cashiers discussing stuff for the seniors and pwd (Person with disability) discounts..
The admissions..
The busy-ness of the emergency room and our little or mini laboratory here in ER room..
Is our daily routine every day.
Who says that working in a hospital is easy?
.

It's late night and my shift nearly done. I need to rest. Ugh
After a couple of hours
Now my duty is over and done with all the endorsement I can relax and can go home.
Hayyyss but first lets treat our self some coffee. Hmmm I can smell the aroma of the coffee from here.
Once in a while I would treat myself a coffee in this shop, one of my favorite. Don't ask me if I love coffee *smile widely you know now the answers. Since our salary came yesterday I should treat myself this. It's not that I could buy coffee here every day it will cost me much buckets. I always go with the instant coffee much less. I know I'm poor haha
So while waiting for my coffee here in the lobby of the hospital since we do have a coffee shop inside I could hear some of the nurses gossiping.. and praising someone like they saw a hot or handsome guy and at the same time giggling..
Hmmm???
Well I don't have a care all I need is my coffee and a bed. I want rest.
When I got home or would I say upon returning to my dorm I silently put all my things down to my table and directly grabbing my towel , some clothes and undergarments for my change. I check the other bed. Okay I didn't wake her up.
After showering I laid my body to my bed relaxing and feeling sleepy.
Even though I drank a coffee I don't know I still get sleepy afterwards. Maybe I am immune to its after effect, maybe the others the caffeine will kick in after but me?? Hahha i don't know.
Feeling like my eyes will drop anytime..
I suddenly thought about the gunshot patient earlier. Hmmm?
Who can he really be? How much influential is he to put the higher ups and the bosses into chaos?
I've been in a deep thinking...
Thinking that he should be the son of the owner of our hospital? No. it is impossible cause all I know they only have two daughters.
Hmm. Maybe a stock holder or something that is much higher? No,. not either, even the other investor, they can just go in and out there without exaggerating. Not like what happened earlier.
I've got a lot of questions
But suddenly my eyes drops and falling into a slumber.
