[The E tag is for relatively gross medical patients. Probably a lot of swearing too.]
He was in the hospital starting right at six o’clock in the morning. His own nurse started at the same time, and a few select doctors also started at that time. A chunk of the staff didn’t start until about an hour or two later, and he usually used the quieter hours, if circumstances allowed, to work things out.
They had gotten a new doctor recently, a bright and young woman whom seemed to have a lot of potential. She had started her internship with Neil, and much to his surprise, everything had gone swimmingly. Of course, hearing that every member of his staff pulled their weight was what he liked to hear.
And unlike some other staff members, this young and bright doctor was working well. They had met extensively once, and that was when she’d been hired here. After that, since she did everything as she was supposed to, he hadn’t had to call her in his office or anything of the sort. That, too, was something he liked. And doctors like that: he wanted to keep them around as much as possible.
With her being young and new, he now had a certain kind of “assignment” for her, if one could call it that. It was important to know the skills every doctor had in the hospital: that was how they managed to delegate work effectively for the wellbeing of their patients. They had a variety of departments, and while this doctor had been working in general departments so far - the ER, basic surgeries, consultations, the likes - he wanted to know what kind of real potential she had. There were a few select doctors in this hospital who were known for being notoriously difficult to work with and for, and part of that was because they specialized in fields very few other doctors did.
Such was the plan for today. Neil had been doing a fine job mentoring this new doctor, but now it was time to see if she could handle more.
He’d scheduled her for seven o’clock today. He’d advised her the day before, and he had made sure to let her know it wasn’t anything negative. It wasn’t unusual for people to assume the worst when one of the hospital owners came up to them to tell them they were expected in his office first thing the next morning.
Right on the dot, his nurse advised that the said young doctor was here and ready to tackle the day. He straightened a few small things in his office, and then he headed out to meet with the young doctor.
“Jennifer?” he called out shortly after having got out of his office, and he approached the young woman upon seeing her close. “Good morning. I hear you’re ready to get going.”
