The next day, when Justin arrived at work, he was informed by HR that Tristana was removed from his patient list effective immediately. Justin knew why. It was her husband who had made the request. So Justin decided it was best that he continue his work rotation and forget about Tristana. He didn't want to get himself or the patient in any more trouble. Cristoff Rodrigues looked like a man to steer clear of. And that's what Justin intended to do, only...
Justin's colleague, Dr. Jeremy Huntington, had questions for Justin after he revived Tristana from the brink of death. That's when Justin got a call on the hospital phone.
"Justin here, what can I do for you?"
"Justin, can you come to Room 345? I need to speak to you regarding the patient." Jeremy asked.
"Room 345! That's Tristana Rodrigues' room?" Justin replied.
"Yes, it is. But it's important that I speak with you regarding the patient's treatment plan since you were the one who revived her?"
"Yes, I see. I'll be there in a few." Justin told Jeremy just as Cristoff was coming to visit his wife.
"So, I see you're ignoring the request I put in?!" Cristoff said haughtily as soon as Justin hung up with Jeremy.
"Ugh, I was just talking with a colleague regarding your wife who had some questions for me and I was just going to see what they wanted." Justin informed an irate Cristoff.
"Fine, but I want to accompany you on that visit." Cristoff demanded.
"Very well then," Justin told Cristoff as they headed to Tristana's room.
