The medical team sprang into action, fighting to save her and the unborn baby, but they
assumed she wouldn't survive for long, Doctor Thompson's voice was laced with concern
as he gazed down at the patient's chart. "I don't think she's going to make it. The injuries are
too severe."
Other doctors nodded in agreement, Lisa's eyes somber. "We agree. We've done everything
we can, but...it's not looking good." Another doctor brow furrowed, his mind racing with the
implications. "And what about the baby? We can't save both, can we?" Doctor Thompson's
expression was grim. "Unfortunately, no it's one."
When Doctor Gill William came out of another room trying to get some fresh air, he saw his
wife among the patients, he froze. Lisa's world had went dark. Gill's face was etched with
worry as he tried to rush to her side. Before he could even process what was happening,
Just then, a soft voice interrupted the doctors conversation. "Excuse me, doctors? I need to
say something to
administration." The doctors turned to the nurse. "What is it?" The nurse hesitated, her eyes
darting between the doctors. "I recognized her family member...he's one of our colleagues.
Doctor
William."
The room fell silent, the only sound the steady beep of the heart monitor, Doctor
Thompson's eyes widened in shock. "What? That's...unbelievable, we had no idea. This
changes things." The Doctors nodded in unison, her voice firm. "We need to inform
administration immediately. This could get complicated." The nurse nodded, already
turning to leave. "Already on my way. I'll let them know." Later that day, as the hospital's
administration scrambled to respond to the situation, Doctor William was called to the
office "you can't work in this condition, you should go home and have some time to rest
and let us do what we can." Said the hospital administration , a decision was made.
"Doctor Gill will be given a month's leave of absence, effective immediately," the hospital's
CEO announced. Gill didn't believe in what the other doctors said. “I can't let this happen, I
have to find a way.” He said to him self. As soon as he left the office his friend Dr. Marcus
outside waiting for him, his face softened with immediate, practiced sympathy. He reached
out, placing a firm, grounding hand on Doctor William’s shoulder. "William," Doctor Marcus
said, his voice low and steady. "I heard. I’m so sorry. She is going to be fine just let them do
what they can?" Doctor William didn’t look at him. His eyes were fixed on the double doors
of the ward. "She’s is carrying a baby, Marcus. They’re running unnecessary scans, delaying
everything. I need you to sign off on the discharge papers. I’m taking her home." Marcus
blinked, his brow furrowing. "What? No William, that’s insane are you out of your mind.
She’s a trauma patient. She needs monitoring, imaging, the full protocol. I can’t no hospital
board would allow a discharge in this state." Doctor William finally turned, his eyes
bloodshot and desperate, gripping Marcus’s forearm with trembling fingers. "Don't talk to
me about protocol. I can manage her care better than they can. I have the knowledge. She’s
terrified, Marcus. Please. You’re the only one who can bypass the chief’s approval. Help me
get her out of here." "William, you’re not thinking clearly," Doctor Marcus countered, though
his voice lacked the firmness of a moment ago. "If something goes wrong at your house,
your career is over. Her life is in danger." "Their lives are in danger here," Doctor William
hissed, pulling him closer. "Help me. You are the only one I have. Do this for me." Doctor
Marcus let out a long, ragged sigh, his shoulders slumping as he realized he wouldn't win
this argument. "If I do this... if I get the charts pulled and get you past the desk... you're on
your own. You realize that?" "I just need them out," Doctor William whispered. Doctor
Marcus nodded slowly, his expression shifting from concerned friend to clinical observer.
He looked back toward the ward doors. "Fine. I’ll handle the paperwork. But tell me in the
chaos, when they brought her in... did the paramedics or the triage team make any
recordings? Any EKG strips, brain activity logs, or official trauma statements uploaded to
the system?" Doctor William shook his head, his face pale. "No. I don't think so. It was too
fast. Everything was manual assessment." Doctor Marcus went silent. A chill seemed to
pass between them, more biting than the hospital air conditioning. He looked at Doctor
William, his eyes turning cold and flat. "Good," Doctor Marcus said, his voice suddenly void
of warmth. "If there’s no official record of her vitals, we have to make sure it stays that way.
We have to record her as dead, William. Right here, right now, before the systems update.
It's the only way you’re getting her out of this building without an autopsy or a report." That
very night, he stole his wife out of the hospital with the help of Doctor Marcus and took her
back home to the back room he calls his home laboratory. Determined to save her and his
unborn child.
