Chapter 6
Warning: Some parts of the will be explained in detail and might make you uncomfortable.
Claire and Shaun entered the OR and put on their masks, gloves and hairnet caps. Dr. Melendez and some nurses were waiting for them while Jasmine was already put under.
"Okay," Dr. Melendez said. "She wanted you operate Shaun, so that's what you're going to do. Front and center."
"Okay," Shaun said as he and Claire walked to the table.
Dr. Melendez handed the scalpel to Shaun. Shaun took a deep breath, took the scalpel, and made the incision. Claire held the tray as Shaun carefully removed each kidney stone. Dr. Melendez observed the surgery from a distance.
"Good Shaun," Dr. Melendez said. "Sew her back up."
Shaun handed the sewing kit to Claire. Claire sewed Jasmine up.
"Good job you two," Dr. Melendez said. "Let's take her to recovery.
Shaun thought for a second.
"Wait," Shaun said. "Let me see her x-rays again."
Dr. Melendez showed Shaun the x-rays. Shaun examined them.
"There," Shaun said pointing to the x-rays. "I didn't notice that before. She has stones on the other side too. The left was just more painful."
"Okay," Dr. Melendez said. "Let's cut her open again."
Shaun took the scalpel and made an incision on Jasmine's right side. Shaun carefully began removing the kidney stones. Afterward, Claire carefully sewed Jasmine up.
Later, Shaun went into Jasmine's room where Jasmine was asleep and Jasmine's mother stood at Jasmine's bedside.
"Thank you so much Dr. Murphy," Jasmine's mother said.
"You're welcome," Shaun said. "Jasmine should make a full recovery."
Shaun walked out of the room to see Dr. Glassman.
"Hello Dr. Glassman," Shaun said. "I was just checking on Jasmine before I left."
"I need to see you in my office Shaun," Dr. Glassman said.
Shaun followed Dr. Glassman to his office.
