Memories Of The Night 127 Chapter 127: Physical Altercation

The next morning, Katrina goes to the hospital to deal with a medical incident.

Fortunately, the situation isn't serious, but the patient's family and the doctor have a dispute that nearly reaches the point of a physical altercation.

These days, doctor-patient relations.h.i.+ps are tense.

More and more healthcare workers are maliciously getting hurt by families of the patients, leaving a great impact on society. This issue has caused panic in the whole medical industry. At the slightest hint that the situation will go wrong, healthcare workers immediately call the police to guarantee their own safety.

When Katrina and her colleagues arrive at the hospital, they dissuade the patient's family from violence and succeed in calming them down.

At noon, Katrina has lunch with Farrah.

Farrah looks depressed as she shares her woes, "Katrina, you're so smart to have the foresight to change industries beforehand. You don't know how helpless the healthcare workers are nowadays. We work tirelessly to death from day to night, at the risk of the patient's family attacking one of our colleagues or us.

"Today's incident is actually quite tame. The patient's family is sensible and doesn't dare attack irrationally. A few days ago, a young father came to the hospital with his daughter. The doctor was busy with receiving other patients at the time, so the nurse asked him to wait for a few minutes.

"But the young father kicked the nurse directly in the stomach several times. The nurse was pregnant and lost the baby on the spot. It was too hateful; the nurse didn't cause his child to become ill or do anything to annoy him! How could he vent his anger out on the poor nurse like that?"

When Katrina hears about the incident, her back goes involuntarily cold from the shock.

It never occurred to her that such violence would occur in a place of healing.

Because the doctor was temporarily busy and couldn't quickly attend to a patient, a pregnant nurse lost her baby.

That was murder!

How could such a man be a good father!

Understandably, he was concerned for his own daughter. But why didn't he think about the nurse's love for the baby in her womb?

Feeling her heart constrict, Katrina can't help but grasp Farrah's hand anxiously. "Farrah, please be careful. If a patient's family ever troubles you, don't argue with them. Call the police immediately."

The negative emotions of some patients' families are disconcertingly extreme. If healthcare workers have a dispute with them, they have to be careful not to annoy them, or they would be at risk of having force used against them. As long as there's a possibility of their lives being threatened, they should directly call the police.

Hearing Katrina's worried tone, Farrah laughs. "Katrina, relax, I know what to do."

"After seeing what happened today, I can't help but worry about you."

"Actually, most patients have reasonable families who respect doctors and nurses. Sometimes, when they notice that we're too busy to eat, the patients' families are eager to give us fruit when we visit the ward."

Farrah continues, "It's a little difficult and tiring. There's also a lot of complaints, but I really like my job.

"There's a real sense of accomplishment to see patients on the verge of death getting well and being able to walk out of the hospital after getting treatment from doctors and nurses.

"I still remember the oath we took when we first entered the profession.

"I'm determined to do my best to cure human diseases and illnesses, to help develop perfect health, to maintain the sanct.i.ty and honor of medical techniques, to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, to pursue hard work with persistence, and to strive for the development of medical undertakings and physical and mental health throughout my career.

"No matter how difficult it gets or how tired I become, I will never forget the oath I took."

It's evident that Farrah really loves her profession from the bottom of her heart. Saving the dying and treating the wounded is the most respectable career for her.

Unfortunately, many people in the industry have other interests and have gradually forgotten their original purpose for going into the industry.

Katrina is immensely moved that her best friend still has her pa.s.sion and takes the oath she took to heart as her motivation to keep working.

Katrina clutches her hand tightly. "Farrah, you're so amazing! I'm so proud of you."

She believes that thousands of medical workers still think like Farrah.

Although it seems small and insignificant, healthcare workers in the hospital do their utmost to contribute their own strength and help out.

In the face of Katrina's praise, Farrah becomes shy and embarra.s.sed.

"It's my duty, just as your job as a police officer is to catch bad guys and keep the peace. There's nothing to be proud of."

Farrah quickly changes the topic. "Come on, Katrina! Let's eat! This restaurant is famous for braised pork!"

With that, Farrah begins to dig in.

Katrina smiles and takes a bite of the meat.

At that moment, she really feels very happy.

Good friends surround Katrina. She can eat out and go shopping with Farrah, and she doesn't need to hide anything from her. Marcellus, whom she has always liked, and her colleagues and superiors at the bureau, all take care of her.

Katrina loves this simple and satisfying feeling.

Her life is finally back on track.

As for her experience with Aaron, she sees those two months as a distant nightmare. After the nightmare comes to life, the contents of the bad dream will gradually be forgotten.

From now on, there Aaron will disappear from her life. She will try her best to forget him.

While Katrina and Farrah are having lunch, Katrina's phone rings.

Seeing the caller ID on the phone, Katrina goes into a daze, and a hint of disbelief flashes in her expression.

Noticing that Katrina is hesitating to answer the phone, Farrah raises her head and asks, "What's wrong, Katrina? Is there an urgent task at the bureau? Are you being called back?"

Katrina pauses for a moment before replying, "Sophie is calling me."

Hearing Sophie's name, Farrah immediately stops eating and drops the fork on the table with a heavy thud. "Sophie? What does she want from you? Is she looking for trouble?"

At the mention of Sophie, Farrah instantly becomes annoyed.

When Sophie slapped Katrina last time, she could still vividly remember the stark handprint on her best friend's face.

Sophie's name has a conditioned response on Farrah, causing her hackles to rise. Every time Sophie looks for Katrina, it always means trouble.

Katrina smiles with some bitterness and shakes her head. "I don't know why she's calling."

Sophie rarely calls Katrina. Receiving a call from her now also puzzles her. She wonders what Sophie is up to this time.
