It has been a week since I last saw Ho-Jun, after he dropped me to my apartment, we haven't contacted much.
It was already the middle of the January, Minho and Junsoo have came back from their New year holiday, but I couldn't meet them or wouldn't go out with them much, as I'm at present working on a important case.
Since, the last few days I was doing overtime and working my a** off. I slept in the hospital only and couldn't go back home.
At present, me and one of my colleague from the gynecological department were discussing the critical case.
According to the reports, the woman has broken her spin due to an accident and she at the time is seven months pregnant also, she's carrying twin babies.
We did a CT scan and unfortunately saw that one of the baby inside her was not doing well and the other one was safe for the time being, but we were not quiet sure if the woman's condition would affect the other baby or not, luckily the baby was save for now.
As for the woman, she was in immense pain, it was difficult for us to treat her in this condition.
"According to her condition, I don't think we can operate on her", my colleague, Ara said.
"Yes, she has a very high blood pressure and in this condition if we operate on her, it may cause damage to both the children and the mother", I replied.
"But, if we don't then also the life of both the mother and children may also be in danger", Ara said.
"Yes, that's a problem, but can't we first treat her spin", I asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea".
"Why not!?".
"As, one of the baby inside her may not survive because when she got hit, one of the baby got severely injured".
"Oh my God! Are you completely sure that it may not survive??", I asked.
"Yes, I'm sure about it", she replied.
"If we don't abort the baby, it may harm the other one then".
"Yes!".
"Even if the woman's condition was better, we couldn't have possible operated on her", I said.
"Why??", Ara asked.
"Because the babies are only six months old and if we operate, the baby may turn out to be immature and it may die also", I replied.
"That's also a thing".
"Ahhh...here we can't solve one problem, but another one has came".
Me and Ara, we both where completely exhausted, we haven't taken a bit of rest because of this case.
But, we couldn't give up on it. We have to find a solution to save the woman and her child.
As we were in a dilemma of what should we do about the problem that have arisen, Yeona came running inside the room.
"What happened Yeona??", I asked, as I saw her pale face.
"Doc, the patient's husband is making problem in the lobby", she replied.
"Huh?? What do you mean??", Ara asked.
"Her husband is blaming the hospital for his wife's condition, he is saying that we have made his wife's condition more worse", Yeona said.
"Now, how much bad the situation can become", Ara said.
Then only, a nurse came running inside the room.
"Doctor, you've to come quickly! The woman's condition is critical", the nurse said.
"Oh my God! Ara let's hurry there first", I said looking at Ara.
"Yes, let's go", she replied.
"Yeona, you watch over that man and see that he doesn't disturb our work or disturb other patients rest", I said before heading towards the ICU.
Me and Ara hurried inside the ICU, we saw the woman in immense pain.
Ara checked her pulse and her belly.
"Oh my God! Minji, I can only hear one heartbeat inside her belly", she said.
"That means, one baby has died!", I asked worriedly.
"Yes, I guess so, but we have to do a scan to make sure of it", she suggested.
As we were discussing about it, we noticed blood flowing from between the legs of the woman.
"Shit!", I exclaimed.
"Minji, we quickly have to operate her or else she won't survive", Ara said.
"But what about her blood pressure, it's too high, we can't operate on her in this condition", I said.
"We have no choice! We have to take the risk", she said.
"But first we need to take the patient's family's permission to do it", I pointed.
"D-Doctor, p-please save my c-child", the woman said in pain, her voice was hoarse and tears kept rolling down her eyes.
"Don't worry, we will save both you and your child", Ara assured her.
"T-thank you D-Doctor", as soon as she said that, she fainted.
"Nurse, quickly try to stop her bleeding and put her on a blood drip, she have lost too much blood", Ara ordered.
"Yes doctor", the nurse said and quickly got down to do her work.
"Ara, you take care of her and I'll go look for her husband", I suggested.
"Yeah, that's a good idea", she replied.
I quickly left the ICU and started looking for the woman's husband.
As I was looking for him, I saw a man running towards me in a hurry.
As soon as he came infront of me, he grabbed me by my collar.
"It's you right, who's treating my wife", the man asked aggressively.
"Y-yes", I replied.
"Then why isn't she got better yet, huh!? Tell me", the man demanded.
I couldn't speak as he was grabbing my neck firmly. I was feeling breathless, my vision started to blur. As I was about to pass out, I felt the man's hand suddenly got removed from my neck.
I coughed vigorously as air filled my lungs. I opened my eyes to see that the man was lying in the ground, holding his face in pain and Minho was standing there looking at him.
"Minho, did you hit him!?", I asked, shocked to see Minho here.
"Yes!", he said.
I didn't say anything to him, I caught my breath and made my way towards the man.
"See mister, if you wanna start a fight, you can go outside to do it, this is a hospital not your fighting ring! And for your kind information, your wife's condition is critical now and we're trying our level best to deal with it, we're doctors not magician or God, that we will heal your wife with a snap of our finger! Right now, your wife and child is fighting for Life and death, so we want your permission to operate on her", I said while tidying my collar.
"And if you still want to make trouble, you can do that in police station", I added at last.
"I-I'm sorry doctor, I didn't mean to do it. I was worried and frustrated about my wife's and child's health", the man said as he cried.
"Ok, it's fine! We understand how you feel, but at this moment your wife and child needs you, so get up and come with me", I said.
"Doctor, will my wife s-survive??", the man asked nervously.
"We can't guarantee that for now, as the operation is quite risky, but believe me, we will do our level best", I assured him in a calm voice.
"Thank you Doctor!", the man said and got up from the ground.
I turned to look and saw that Minho was still standing there watching us quietly.
"Thanks Minho", I said with a smile.
"Mention not", he replied.
"So, what are you doing here??", I asked.
"Ara called me and asked for my help", he said.
"Oh I see".
"Ok then, let's go", he said.
"Yeah", I replied and started to make our way to the operation ward.
