Go back now, have I not made it clearly to you that you should not ever come back to this hospital? Physician John asked what is going on but Catherine quickly cut in that don't bother about it we will talk about it later, then Catherine reply the director that we were called that the newly elected assemblyman as requested for our service, director talked back, what! Assemblyman requested for you? You are not a doctor here anymore and I don't want to see you, that is when the assemblyman secretary came to them and bow to the director, he then turn to surgeon Catherine and say surgeon, assemblyman is waiting for you in the VIP room, Catherine replied okay I will be with you shortly, the director face her, he looked at her with a doubting eye, he then move close to her and say to her ear, no matter the string you are pulling i will make sure I cut it off because this place is not your place, do you understand? You this ungrateful lady, he hiss and left, physician John quickly moved to her and say surgeon Catherine what is really going on, have you done something bad to your director? Catherine did not answer and walk angrily to the VIP room where the assemblyman was admitted, the security opened the door for her and she went in, hello assemblyman, how is your health? surgeon Catherine greeted the assemblyman, the assemblyman crack his voice and reply oh you are here, welcome. Catherine says I heard you sent for us, and he reply yes I am the one that ask you to come over, it is only you that I trust with my surgery and I believe you will do a good job, and again this must remain confidential as you should know better, surgeon Catherine reply yes sir I understand, she then say this is my partner that will be assisting me with your treatment sir his name is physician John, John greeted the assemblyman with hello sir, assemblyman replied oh thank you and I have heard alot about you too, I am entrusting my surgery to you both, both Catherine and John responded thank you sir, we will do our best. Catherine turned to the nurses there and asked her to let her see the test result and they showed her, she said to the assemblyman that, with what I am seeing here sir you need the surgery as quick as possible because the cancer as already spread to your liver which might lead to serious problem if we keep postponing the surgery, Assemblyman replied it's fine let's do it as quick as you say.
Catherine and John leave the VIP room and go straight to the director's office, she knocked and the director asked her to come in, as she entered, the director said what are you still looking for here, have I not warned you to leave here immediately and I know what you are trying to do, you feel you can change the assemblyman mind in other to persuade me to get you back here, never! I will never allow that and he said get out of my office to Catherine, Catherine left angrily. Physician John waiting for her outside say to her, what did he say? Did he ask us to start the surgery? When are we starting the surgery? Should we go and change right now? Catherine did not respond to all his questions and physician John said surgeon Catherine what is really going on please talk to me, Catherine walk to the lobby and sat somewhere, John followed her and sat beside her, he sigh and say Catherine please can you say something because I really don't know what is going on, please tell me what is really going on and that is when surgeon Catherine say the last surgery i did in this hospital was on the director's son, the surgery supposed to be done by my senior professor here but he persuade me to do it, I was busy with another surgery that day and immediately I finished with the surgery I went straight to the theater room where the director's son surgery is been taking, I met my senior professor there and he switched with me that he have to go somewhere urgently. I allowed him to go and took on the director's son surgery, it was a tough surgery that lasted for 12 good hours because of several bleeding which we don't know the cause, i tried my best to get the surgery done without any mistake that night, after I finished the surgery I was so tired that I just went straight to the resting room, a drink was brought to me by one of the nurse, I asked what is this for and she said the senior professor as prepared this for you specially, before he left, he asked me to give you this drink after the surgery to cool you down and make you relax, I collected it and thanked her, then she left, I opened the drink and drank it all at once because that is what I was craving for. After finishing the drink I don't know why but I just started feeling sleepy and I slept off immediately.
On waking the next day I was feeling heavy headache, I picked my phone and have met so many calls on my phone from the nurses, I rushed down to the nurses chamber and asked what happened? Why so many calls and they respond where have you gone to that the director's son i did surgery for was in shock and they couldn't calm him down. I shouted what! But the surgery went well and everything is fine before I left, they responded yes but after you left, he started shaking and they could not control his pulse, I quickly ran to the room they kept him, I tried so much to keep him stable but that is when he gave up and died, I was so sad and cried. We announce his death and time of death. That is when the director rush over and said what happened? Who did the surgery, I want to know now, I replied with i am the one sir but he slapped me, he said what have you done to my son during the surgery but that is when the senior professor also came in and said sir, I told her not to do the surgery yesterday and we should wait after I did another check up on him today but she refused, I guess she later do it after I left yesterday, I was like what! tears rolled down from my eye, I wanted to talk but he said shut up, did i not warned you yesterday to wait till I did another check up on him, what is really your problem, that is when I know I am been framed.
