for her

5

We were now twenty hours into this.

I was with an older male- running blood work while Stapleton did an echo of his heart due to a history of heart problems.

"Any chest pain?" I asked him, grabbing his chart and updating the vitals.

"Not at this particular moment" he responded with a smile.

I have a small nod, writing the results of the echo as I saw them.

"Go run this to Doctor Irwin- He has to check over it-" "you run it to him, I'm checking vitals" I spoke swiftly, grabbing my stethoscope.

"I'll check vitals-" "I'm already doing it, just run him the paper- I'm capable of checking this myself" I spat out.

"I'm not doing a nurses job" he spat out.

That one got me.

I went to school for longer than the ordinary person to be a doctor- to be a surgeon

I wasn't a nurse

And I refused to be labeled as a nurse.

"Well neither am I" i spoke, making the man take deep breaths so I could hear his lungs.

"What a bitch" he laughed before leaving

"That guy was a little bit of a dick" the man mumbled out as I took his blood pressure.

"Yes- he is very much a dick"

Six hour later I was paged to Ashton's office.

I pace walked there- seeing Stapleton and another one.

We waited in silence for the others to show.

Soon the five of us where all in front of Doctor Irwin.

"This is officially the end of your first shift, you can go home, rest, be with your family or friends, I will see you all again tomorrow and ten" he spoke, giving a solid nod.

"That's all?" One of the guys laughed out.

"Sometimes the days go slow, sometimes they go fast, you learn to love the fast ones"
