CAMILLA AVOIDED THE OTHER RESIDENTS AND HER INTERNS.
They were all on about this big surgery. A face transplant. Only four have been successfully performed world wide.
And yeah, usually she would be all over this kind of surgery, but there was one thing keeping her away.
The patient.
The moment she read his name, she knew who he was.
"Hey." Dr. Hunt came up beside her at the nurse's station, "I have a question."
"Shoot." She mumbled, looking through a chart,
"I want you to be apart of the transplant team for today's surgery." Owen stated,
"That's not a question." Camilla responded,
"Well... I was wondering if you wanted to be apart of the team." He replied,
"No." She answered, moving around him to walk away,
"Woah, wait." Owen grabbed her arm gently, "This is one of the biggest surgeries this hospital has ever had and you don't want a part of it?"
She looked up at him, "Not really, no."
"Why?" He asked her,
Camilla shrugged, "Not into plastics. Can I go now?"
"Why don't you just come to the presentation? You might change your mind." Owen urged her,
In truth, she didn't want to be anywhere near that room. She could still hear the screams in her head and feel the blood on her hands.
"What about your interns? It would be a great opportunity for them."
Camilla sighed, "Fine."
She paged her interns the room number and gathered inside. She kept her head down, avoiding looking at the patient. Her interns stood in front of her and she cowered behind them,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. David Young. Today, he'll be receiving a face transplant." Mark greeted everyone, "Dr. Hunt and his team will be recovering the donor facial graft. We're replacing 70% of Mr. Young's face. You can see the deficit here." Mark turned to the computer, which had a model of the patient's face,
"Or here." Mr. Young joked, motioning to his face,
"The donor recovery will include his nose, left eye, lips, left zygoma. Now why will allotransplantation work better than traditional techniques?" Dr. Hunt asked,
