It all started after i got this job at this hospital as a medical social worker. My work was to conduct ward rounds, capture the social history of patients upon admissions and waive those with financial constraints. My first few weeks were boring since we were a few new girls recruited to this task. My colleagues got noticed by the doctors but as for me it wasn't working out well.
There was this trend where the patients who required waiving went through their politicians for help. These politicians would first negotiate with the hospital administrator then come to our office to air their grievances.
This particular day, i was left alone in the office. This mature good looking guy came into our office and asked me to process for him a waiver receipt as he had been sent by the hospital administrator. Through the social investigations i had conducted by interviewing him, i realized he was a politician. So i helped him, coordinated the waiver with the nurses in charge, got the patient ready to be discharged and now it was time for them to leave.
The guy called me a side and offered to buy me lunch. Being single and in my early twenties, i accepted the offer. We exchanged numbers and he did send me some cash.
