Inside the head nurse's office-
When Lisa entered the room, she saw the head nurse, talking on the phone. At the sight of Lisa, the head nurse quickly finished her conversation and hung up the phone. She nodded at Lisa and said, "Take a seat."
The head nurse, was famous in the OB/GYN Department for being a stone-cold workaholic. She had made many interns cry.
Weaker-hearted interns had either quit or transferred to another department.
Lisa had interned under her for 6 months now. Although the head nurse was intimidating, she was very professional and knowledgeable. Lisa preferred these qualities about her, and as far as she was concerned, this head nurse was much better than those greedy co-workers who only cared about money.
"Lisa, the hospital director's assistant just called and asked me to pass along the message to you. The surgery for the government official was very successful, and he should wake up in 12 hours."
"Oh really? That's fantastic!" Lisa smiled.
"The director wants to reward the staff involved in this surgery after the official wakes up. Three from our hospital participated in it - the anesthesiologist, you, and another male nurse. The director would like to know what rewards you would like."
"The patient isn't conscious yet, isn't it a little too early to speak of rewards?" Lisa asked, slightly hesitant.
"The director is sure that the official will wake up. Just tell me what you would like, and I will pass it along to the higher-ups," the head nurse said calmly.
Lisa thought for a second and asked, "Can I really make a request?"
"Of course, as long as it's not too over the top."
"I was hoping to get a pay bonus." Lisa made sure she enunciated every word.
"A pay bonus?" The head nurse looked surprised. "I thought you would ask for a permanent position in this hospital after all you are just an intern here."
The process of obtaining a permanent position required at least three years. On top of that, interns must go through a rigorous process of testing and grading. It was a long and complicated process.
"A full-time position? Oh, I haven't thought of that. After all, I've only been here for 6 months, so I don't expect to become a full-timer any time soon. A bonus might be more useful right now."
She truly needed the money. Not only did she max out her credit card, she also owed Chaeyoung some money.
So even if the hospital could only give her some money, that would still help out the situation. At the very least, her younger brother would have enough money to live for the next month.
"Alright, I will pass on your message. But, the decision will ultimately be made by the director."
"Alright, if there is nothing else, I'll get back to work," said Lisa as she got up to leave.
"Oh, Lisa."
"Yes?" Lisa turned around.
"I've heard that the lead surgeon for this operation is an incredible neurosurgeon, and all of his assisting surgeons are domestically-renowned doctors. He...is he very young?" asked the head nurse, slightly embarrassed.
The head nurse didn't mean to pry; she was just curious. She heard that the surgeon was from Harvard, but hadn't had the chance to meet him in person yet. She could only ask Lisa to quench her interest.
After three seconds of silence, Lisa bit down on her lips and replied, "Yes, he's very young."
For reasons unclear to her, Lisa felt proud speaking about Jungkook.
