The hospital became my world. From the moment I first entered the operating room, I knew I have found my purpose in life. And then, shortly after I started working at the hospital, I was challenged the way I have never assumed I would ever be after performing an emergency surgery.
That night, a woman with no ID was admitted to the hospital. She was unconscious, pale, and had a hard time breathing.
The paramedics informed me of blunt force trauma to the abdomen and possible internal bleeding. The X-ray showed her spleen had ruptured and she needed an emergency surgery.
