Hence, it was customary for the Director of Internal Medicine to hand over the patient to Sasha.
She took a glance at the medical record and was surprised to see the familiar name.
“Baylor? Is he back?”
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Stunned by her reaction, the director asked, “Do you know him?”
Sasha nodded. “Yes. I was his consulting doctor for two days when he was previously admitted for lung cancer.”
“I see. Then I guess you two need no further introductions. Great. You’re the best option for him.”
The director knew the patient was in excellent hands.
Speechless, she watched her superior leave. For a long time, she remained in a daze, holding the medical record.
Hold on. Didn’t Baylor transfer to the hospital in Moranta? Why is he back? Did his condition worsen?
Just then, his pale and smiling face came into her mind. Things weren’t exactly great when they parted ways the last time. Being a doctor, it was demoralizing to see the patient making zero progress after treatments.
Ten minutes later, Hazel came over. Like Sasha, she was also new to the hospital.
“Macy, the director says we’re in charge of Baylor, right?”
“Oh. Yes.” Sasha nodded right away and headed to the ward with her colleague.
“Macy, please be careful with this patient. He’s not an amiable man. I wouldn’t want you to get into trouble for rubbing him the wrong way.”
Since they used to be fellow interns, Haley thought it was best to remind her.
Are we talking about the same person? The Baylor Sasha remembered was the exact opposite.
