" Nothing is modeled in life without passing through the forms the heart imagines "
Walter Grando
Pov. Sally
A month before ...
Today is three years old. I thought I would actually smile again someday, but the memories fell on my heart that day sank into sadness again.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Do not know where it goes
Bu it's home to me and I walk alone
It all started sixteen years ago. At the time I had just graduated from medical school, and I got a seat in the best hospital in New York. Almost everything was fine, I had the job I always wanted a beautiful apartment overlooking Central Park, my car last year and would specialize in neurosurgery. My life was complete.
Flashback
'That day seemed like one more everyday day like all the others. One runs, running frantically on all sides, I thought as I left the house. The traffic today did not help to eliminate the stress, luck of my that I will have few patients, I thought remembering of the consultations marked for today. But when I got to the hospital entrance, I quickly realized that there was more movement today. No, I thought, this is not going to ruin my day, I hardly knew when I was wrong. Everywhere you looked you would see men wearing a black suit with headphones in their ears. Some discreetly waged semiautomatic from within the suit.
"It looks like it's going to be a long day today," I said to myself as I watched this scene, I'd seen it once only when a British consul had taken all and almost entered an alcoholic coma.
I barely entered the hospital and was approached by the hospital director Dr. Dionysus or Mr. D. as he liked to be called.
"Sally," he said exasperatedly, "it's good that you've arrived, we have a very special case that will put us n the covers of magazines around the world, and you 're on the team that will attend you - he said all cheerful.
Not that Mr. D looked only for fame, but whenever an important patient appeared he would soon call the press and tell you when the hospital now on his board had improved, both in efficiency and quality, which at all was not lie. Just the fact that since before he became the director was like this.
"So who is the illustrious patient Mr. D," I asked.
"There, he," he said, pointing to a white-haired man with intense blue eyes who was walking toward one of the rooms, "Sir Cronos Jackson," he said, laughing at will. We're attending a Sir, a sir, my God. "Mr. D's eyes sparkled with contentment.
"Certain director," I said uneasily, "I've never seen such joy at having a person in the hospital-what he has to do to look for a hospital-at that moment Mr. D's face became more professional, serious, and sad ..." ?
"See Sally, this I can not speak of, Sir himself asked for secrecy.
"More how can I treat him if I do not even have access to what he has?"
"Listen, Sally, you will not treat him ..."
"But you said that I would be part of the medical team ..."
- Only listen Sally, please - he talked a little embarrassed - it's a little hard to explain ... Well - he said after a long silence - you will just give the information to move you to the press.
- WHAT ?
- See Sally, the sir already has a medical team, he only divert the questions that his family has asked.
- More Mr. D this is wrong, we can not do that, it's unethical and ...
- I know Sally - said Mr. D tired - more is not an option
- What ? You mean that ...
- Shhhh ... - he said looking nervously sideways - that's right, we are being forced, Sir is not a man who likes to take no for an answer, he threatened to put the public all the dirt that hospital ever had - completed sighing
"So you mean this man thinks he can threaten you like that?" We have to do something about it .
"Not anything we can do, Sally, except to agree, I just ask you to help me, yes?" His children must arrive only tomorrow, and the wife he tells me is traveling and knows nothing. Just be careful with that man Sally, he has no scruples and does whatever he can to get what he wants.
I nodded, and then headed for my office. The morning passed like a blur and as I prepared to leave I was interrupted by an exhausted director running into my office.
- Sally, quick if the prepare they arrived early we can not wait.
- Who came Mr. D? And I have to prepare myself for what?
"Sally, Sally, my God, have you forgotten," he said, looking at me, and he certainly did not like what he saw because he snorted - the press Sally is already there - now I remembered the horrible role I had to do - plus the sons of the sir also, Poseidon and Hades. Hades is still a child is practically about sixteen and still very naive, but Sir Poseidon does not. He's a little older than you, Sally, and he's as cunning as his father.
"There, does it mean I'm going to have to deal with two hypocrites in a day?" I said already exalted
"Not Sally, only with a hypocrite," he said quietly, "from what I heard Sir Poseidon only drew his father's cunning, the rest is as good and gentle as his mother.
"I doubt it," I said, still nervous, as that calm manner of Mr. D explaining the situation to me did not help anything. "Who could live with a person like him?" Probably the family is worse than him
"All right, Sally," Mr. D said tiredly, "try to be convincing, right?" Here ... "he said, handing me a chart with the name of Robert Cronos Jackson - these are the examinations I made - I tried to protest more I was hindered - does it tend to be convincing all right? I'll wait for you in my office in forty minutes.
Mr. D left leaving me immersed in my thoughts . I took the medical record and began to read. It was no big deal, only that the malaise that the sir had felt was a result of stress and other vulgarity. I took a deep breath and led me to the director's office, which was already full of reporters from several newspapers.
I turned and began to explain the situation as calmly as possible. I was practically bombarded with questions of all kinds, until after about an hour the interview was closed.
I was breathing heavily, thinking of everything I just passed, when my thoughts are interrupted.
"Now can you tell me the truth?" - I looked scared back and got lost.
