ALICE
I have checked on a few patients and then circle back to Helena. I am more than ready to let her have a piece of my mind and I know she will be awake by now.
“Hey, how are you feeling?”
“Ah, Dr. Mitchell. I am much better, thank you”
“And how is the baby doing?”
I feel a frog in my throat as I say the words because it still feels like someone has stabbed me with a sharp knife through my heart.
“The baby’s doing fine, thank you”
“So…did you ask Dr. Fredrickson to operate on you?”
“Uhm, yes I did. Why?”
“Do you know what was wrong with you just now?”
“No? Please tell me”
“There was a cloth still left behind inside your body from Dr. Fredrickson’s surgery. Do you know how dangerous that can be?”
Her eyes grow wide and she covers her mouth
