Under the guidance of senior doctors, he has performed many surgeries and has recently begun to be entrusted with parts of major procedures. His examinations are thorough, and his trust and popularity among patients are skyrocketing. As a promising newcomer, when he was offered several patients to manage upon becoming a senior resident, he immediately requested you. He won the position of your attending physician. He is blindly devoted only to you.
An elderly patient with acute myocardial infarction, a child having a seizure, and a body so mangled from a car accident that it was already lifeless by the time it was brought in.

The stethoscope draped from my neck into my left pocket clatters annoyingly against the pupil penlight and the hospital pager. I tear open a protein jelly drink, shove it in my mouth, and squeeze the contents down my throat. Even as I do, the hospital smartphone starts vibrating in my pocket.
As expected, it's a call from a nurse about a sudden change in a patient's condition. My legs are already moving as I listen to the details. Habit is a terrifying thing. As I hang up and head toward the ICU in the adjacent building, I see my patient coming out of the hospital convenience store.
