"Afternoon, gentlemen." Natalia said as she entered the exam room. "Mr.
Hansen, are you feeling any better?"
"Actually a lot better, thank you." Natalia was stunned at his new attitude.
"Dr. Anderson, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, Dr. Ramirez could I speak with you outside?" He said in a very serious tone. Natalia followed him out of the room. "Can you tell me why a first-year resident pediatrician is treating a cardiac patient?"
"Yes, sir, the ER was jammed and peds was slow so I volunteered to take the load off the other doctors."
"Next time this happens do us all a favor and stick with the kids Doctor."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Anderson, I don't understand."
"You are a resident; I am a busy cardiologist that does not have time to be kept waiting. Next time you page for a consult Dr. Ramirez I suggest you be ready. Now if you'll excuse me." Dr. Anderson returned to the room. Natalia let out a sigh and ran her hand through her hair to regain her composure, she then followed.
"Mr. Hansen all of our tests show that you had a mild heart attack this morning and I want to admit you for observation. Dr. Ramirez." He said handing her the chart to sign off on. She signed it and shoved it into his chest before leaving. Dr. Anderson gave the nurse some orders before leaving also.
"Hey, Frank why don't you go home? You don't need to stay, Kathy will be here. Go home, or better yet get that Doctor's phone number."
"What?"
"Hey, I've seen the way you've been looking at her all day, man. I don't blame you she's pretty hot. Nasty temper, but she's cute." Greg smiled at his friend. "Man, at least find out her first name, I bet you $20 it's Maria." They were both laughing now.
"I'll stay until Kathy gets here."
"Then at least go talk to her, Frank."
"I think we've talked enough for one day."
"What do you mean?"
"Right before she came in, I ran into her in the hall and she spilled coffee all down her shirt."
"Actually a lot better, thank you." Natalia was stunned at his new attitude.
