The first thing that I notice as I walk into the hospital for the first time is there are people in every corner at various levels of sickness. I feel a pit of disgust in my stomach. There are too many sick people and not enough to cure them. Ever since this new virus the hospitals can’t seem to catch up with the number of patients. That’s why they started letting junior doctors operate on patients. They didn’t have any other choice. After all, how are you supposed to choose who to save. How can you pick who’s life is more valuable, one person or another. Nobody deserves to die from this virus. I feel a sense of hope in my stomach for the first time sense i got here. I can do this. I can same so many lives with this opportunity. It’s time to check in and start doing my job. I get my keycard soon enough and head to my assigned room. The patient lying in the desolate room is covered in the worst purple welts that i’ve ever seen. I look at their name because my mentor told me that this will help. I need to think of them as an actual human, not just some disease. “Marilyn Sinks” My heartbeat stops. This cannot be her. Marilyn Sinks is the most cautious girl I know. She would never ever let herself become subject to this gross virus. Then again, would anyone. I take a moment to pray that I can save her, then i’m off into surgery.
