Chapter 82
"Excuse me, I am looking for a Dr. People not a patient?" The nurse looks up at him and points to Aisling's room.
"You will find him in his wife's room along with a million other visitors. Also two other Dr.s are there as visitors as well. Good luck getting them to make room for you." She informed him in a very snarky voice. The gentleman looks down his nose at her and takes note of her name. Walking to the room she pointed to he knocks on the door. When it's opened he understands the nurses remark now. There are at least twenty people in this small room. There on the bed laying beside a beautiful red head is his brother. He looks at Salali next to the bed with a gentleman sitting next to her on the arm of her chair. His uncle is standing against the wall smiling like he has never seen before. The noise is overwhelming to him so he raises his voice just slightly to be heard over the crowd.
"Astila what in the world is going on?" The room goes quiet and all eyes turn to look at him. Aisling looks at the tall well over six feet by a guess. Burly looking man, she gasps at the sight of his biceps the are huge. She is extremely handsome his face very similar to Inola and Astila. His eyes are glaring at her. She isn't sure if it's because she is staring.
"Yona when did you arrive? I thought you were busy with business." He looks at Aisling and gets an impish look on his face.
" I called and left a message that I got back from j.a.pan. I also said I was coming straight here. I was not expecting you to be in a hospital bed breaking every hospital rule. As a Dr. you should know better. I am hoping the woman
"Yona I haven't charged my phone since the wedding I'm sorry. I was worried I would ruin my honeymoon if I did. We just got back a few days and she wound up in here. What little battery I had I used when she was admitted. " he looks at his sister and uncle to collaborate his story. Inola looks at his nephew and opens his mouth to explain but Aisling speaks first.
"Yona I am Aisling and yes I am your new sisters-in-law. It is my fault that he did not have his phone. We agreed to leave them behind on our honeymoon at my insistence. I'm sorry that we did not know of your arrival. It also is not his fault that there are so many people here. I would appreciate you not raising your voice at my husband or my guest. I do not know why you feel the need to a.s.sert your supposed authority. It is not welcome here. My uncles and Inola are the elders here not you. My Dr. is sitting in the chair beside you. If he feels the need to kick anyone out he can. The Chief of surgery is sitting in the opposite chair and last but not least the head of the hospital will be knocking on the door at any moment. If any of them say that everyone is to leave then they will. Until then how about you come sit her next to me and let us get to know each other." She pats the bed beside her smiling up at her new brother in law. Everyone was staring at her. No one that they know of has ever spoken to Yona this way. There is a knock on the door and an older gentleman walks in with a group of students. Yona has no choice but to move closer to the bed. He goes to stand between Salali's chair and the bed. The older gentleman begins to speak.
"Now students as you know we have a rule about to many visitors in a room. Well this little one doesn't follow rules. She never has so do not think this is normal. Now who would like to start telling us about the patient?" He looks at them waiting.
"But sir can we speak about her in front of so many people? Is it legal with patient confidentiality?" The older man chuckles
"With her it's ok don't worry. With a normal patient yes you would need to have everyone leave. If we tell them to leave except the Drs. In the room they will just clog up the hallway listening at the door anyway. " he looks at the older woman sitting by the window.
"Now stop picking on the youngsters or you won't get dinner tonight. Go on and tell us about our Aisling." She huffs at her husband. The student look confused. Aisling begins to laugh so much that she has tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Uncle Audis please quit teasing Auntie and causing your students to be confused. " Looking at the young student Aisling tries to stop laughing. Through her giggles she explains to them and Yona.
"You see the head of the hospital is my uncle. The Chief of Surgery is his son and my cousin. The Dr over ther is my Dr and best friend from school. The Dr laying on the bed is my husband. Except for six people and myself your patient are all on staff here at the hospital. So no one will be breaking any rules if you speak in front of them. I give you permission to say whatever you want it's fine. " with that being said the young intern begins stating what is on her chart.
"The patient is a twenty four year old pregnant woman. She was brought in by ambulance after pa.s.sing out and being unresponsive. Her electrolytes system was depleted and she was dehydrated." When he said that all eyes turned to the couple a loud cheer broke out and some loud congratulations could be heard all around. Aisling his her face in Astila's chest. Yona just stared at the circus in front of him.
