'Please prepare the synthetic bone, Dr. Torres' Dr. Freebird said as he was holding down the patient's bone into place.
'Right away!' Maria Torres smiled and prepared the small cylinder for cutting, then adjusted the laser. Hank Freebird took it and cautiously cut out the perfect size for the patient's missing bone fragment, then put it into place and secured it with bolts.
'That should do it' he closed the wound with the stapler, then looked at the X-ray photo on the wall. 'As far as I can see, nothing else is broken. He's lucky'
'I'm quite surprised, actually. He was in a pretty bad shape when I found him. Still, not many manage to get through a head-on collision with a speeding car with just a broken leg. Good job, Hank!'
'Thank you'
After finishing up the surgery, the two left the rest to the nurses and went outside.
Just in front of the door stood chief Esha Patel.
'Hey! How did it go?' she smiled.
'He'll recover completely. It's a miracle he got away with just a broken leg'
Maria yawned.
'Gyaaah… I'm gonna go take a shower'
'Yeah, I'll do that too' Hank said and quickly bid farewell to Maria and Esha, then left.
He was just about to open the door to the showers when it opened by itself.
'Yo, Hank!' the orthopedic surgeon could smell the smoke coming from his friend's cigarette.
'Hi, Gabe. What's up?'
'Not much. Assisted Tomoe with a surgery. What about you?'
'Adjusted a broken leg'
Gabe laughed.
'Just what I expected'
Hank took off his coat and entered the showers.
'By the way, Hank…'
'Huh?'
'Did you hear the news?'
'News?'
'Yeah' Dr. Gabriel Cunningham turned to his friend and smirked. 'We're getting a new addition'
'New doctor? In Resurgam?'
'Some big shot brain surgeon is joining us'
'Interesting… Can't wait to meet him…'
