Tatum felt horrible as he didn't know why Preston would rather offend the Danowski family just to side with an ordinary civilian.
Seeing as the members of the Danowski family were leaving the ward, Tatum was about to do the same when Donald called out to him, “Hold it right there.”
Tatum paused in his tracks and shot Donald a vicious glare in response. “What more do you want?”
“Have you forgotten about the question I asked you earlier? About selling grilled skewers for a living once you're no longer a doctor,” Donald said with a smile.
“What the f*ck are you trying to say?” Tatum asked with an eyebrow arched as a bad feeling began to form in his heart.
The next thing he knew, Preston said, “We've been observing you for quite some time now, Tatum. Based on your performance and your actions today, we have decided to terminate you and report your case to the state medical board. It's highly possible that they will suspend or even revoke your medical license, so you may never be able to work in this field ever again.”
Tatum was stunned for quite a while after hearing Preston's statement.
I studied medicine for eight years and worked as a doctor for four years before getting where I am today! How could Mr. Yanick just end my entire career like this?
“I refuse to accept this! Who are you to revoke my medical license, Preston?” Tatum protested.
Having been through all sorts of situations in life, Preston was completely unfazed by Tatum's yelling. If anything, he even found Tatum's behavior somewhat hilarious.
“It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. I didn't make this decision on my own. It was a unanimous decision made by all the directors in this hospital. I hope you will remain calm and leave as you are told, Tatum. Otherwise, I will need to have the security guards escort you out by force.”
Tatum calmed down immediately after hearing that.
