Chapter 70
Over the next two days, whenever Aria lind surgery scheduled, it would be mysteriously reassigned to other doctors, and her position was even transferred to the emergency department.
Aria took the job transfer notice and headed straight to Lucas’s office, knocking firmly on.
After receiving permission, she entered directly and said, “Dr. Thorne, what do you mean by changing my assignment without my consent? I don’t believe I fall directly under your jurisdiction, do 17
Lucas stopped his work, looked up at her, and snorted contemptuously. “The emergency department is short–staffed, and you’ve been relatively free these past few days. Do you have any objections to being called over to help?
“Am I free?” Aria laughed batterly. “In the past three days, all six surgeries I had scheduled were reassigned for no valid reason. There aren’t many surgeons in car department to begin with. With scheduling like this, can the other doctors even maintain normal rest periods?”
This isn’t an issue you need to concern yourself with, Lucas slammed his hand on the desk. The administration has already approved this arrangement. If you have complaints, take them up with the leadership. Don’t waste my time here.”
Aria was about to argue further when a nurse burst through the door, panic evident in her voice. “Something’s wrong. Dr. Thorne! Dr. Mason collapsed during surgery, and the patient’s condition is criticall
“What?” Lucas exclaimed, jumping to his feet.
The sudden crisis was almost inevitable given the circumstances.
He reacted o
quickly. “Where are the other surgeons?
The nurse replied urgently. “There weren’t many available to begin with, and the other doctors already have scheduled procedures. They simply can’t be spared!”
Aria glanced at Lucas and peered “Dr. Thorne, this is your arrangement. You figure out how to explain it to the director yourself”
She turned and walked out of his office.
After Aria changed in surgical scrubs, she headed straight to the operating room.
Fortunately, the patient’s condition stabilized after a ninety mite emergency procedure. Dr. Mason, who had fainted due to severe exhaustion, was now resting in the break room, where several nurses and his medical assistant were administering glucose to restore his energy
Sering Aria, the medical assistant approached angrily and questioned, “Dr. Ashworth, today was clearly your scheduled surgery. Why did you let my supervising physician handle it instead? He’s been working for over forty eight hours straight–are you trying to kill him with overwork?”
