"Clock is 23:42. Thank you for all your help ladies and gentlemen." Dr. Rowan Bentley left the operating room and took off her bloodied apron, gloves, mask and cap and tossed them in the hazardous waste bin. At thirty nine years old she was one of the youngest head surgeons at St. Cynthia in Foxchester United Kingdom. They just lost another patient and now it was her job to tell the family.
As she entered the waiting room a woman and two young boys ran up to her with tears in their eyes.
"How is he? How is my Gregory?"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but we weren't able to save him. We did everything we could do, but his injuries were just too severe, and he passed. I am truly sorry."
The woman began to weep heavily and a nurse came over to sit her down and try to comfort her, a woman who just lost her husband, and two boys who just lost their father.
In the quiet, still, moonlit ward, the soles of Dr. Rowan Bentley's shoes whispered against the shiny tiled floor. Her eyes flickered between the opened doors of the mostly empty patient rooms. She was short at just five feet tall with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and a very small 28AA bust. Because of her small stature she was often thought of as being much younger. She looked at the clock above the nurses station as it ticked away the hours, each minute seemed to take forever to move over.
Rowan retired to her small office, sat at her desk and put head in her hands. Losing a patient always weighed heavily on her. She heard the faint voices of people outside and the squeaking wheels of the odd gurney passing by her door. She looked at the clock and saw it was 23:48.
"Ugh, another two hours."
She hated working the overnight shift. Her whole life she had been all about helping people, so becoming a doctor was her calling though at times it was busy and draining.
It was then she heard ambulance sirens coming closer.
"Here we go again," she groaned as she got up from her chair and went into the hallway to see what came in.
In a few moments two paramedics rushed in, one holding an intravenous bag high up.
"Doctor, doctor," one called out. "Female, looks mid teens to early twenties, unconscious, car accident, she was the only occupant of the car."
"Okay okay move her into the OR now. Cara, Barry George?" She looked around.
They all looked in her direction.
"All of you scrub up, OR now. Cara bring the tray"
As the paramedics wheeled the patient into the OR all Rowan saw was a young blonde girl covered in blood 'quite attractive' she thought as she and her three assistants began scrubbing their hands and pulling on gloves, aprons, masks and caps and entered the operating room.
Dr. Bentley looked down on the body of the young woman on the table. All she saw was crimson blood and ivory skin under the stark theatre lights. Light blonde hair just past her shoulders she was also very short right around five feet tall. The steady rhythm of beeping machines was the only sound. Rowan's gloved hands moved cautiously and meticulously as she operated on the young woman. She could feel the warmth of her body beneath the cool latex, the subtle quiver of her muscles as she worked.
Then another girl came in from another ambulance.
Dr. Lena Wanders the other surgeon got up and immediately approached
"What do we have?" She asked anxiously.
"Female, looks late teens, she was in a car accident," one of the paramedics said.
"Wait, another? We just received another accident victim. She is in the OR as we speak. Put her in OR two. Let me scrub up. David, Susan, Veronica scrub up and help me out."
Lena was just under Rowan as a surgeon as Rowan was the head surgeon. She was more than capable of running a surgery on her own. She stood at five feet six, with white skin and brunette hair, and quite busty with a 38DD chest.
Dr. Bentley finished up her procedure.
"Okay, she's stable, put her in an empty bay and I will check in on her later. Did the paramedics leave any personal belongings? Maybe we can find out who she is?"
