>>>Nurse Gbemi called me on phone to ask for my favour…. What kind of favour precisely?
.
NURSE GBEMI: Hello sir, are u there?
.
DR SANYA: I’m with u
.
NURSE GBEMI: Please sir, I seriously need your favour…..
.
DR SANYA: How?
.
NURSE GBEMI: Hello… Hello doctor…
.
DR SANYA: Hello nurse Gbemisola….hello … can u hear me?
.
[ Network don dey do ojoro for me ooo…..Her voice was just skipping… she wasn’t audible any longer….What else could I do? I had to hang up. My belief was that she would call back but she never did….Mary and I were so surprised…
.
MARY: Now that she is not calling back, I guess she is trying to have d second thought…., probably not needing your so-called favour again…..
.
DR SANYA: What is even painful to me is d fact that I don’t know d nature of d favour she wants from me….
.
MARY: In that case, call her back!
.
[ I found sense in what Mary said….So, I decided to call her back: ]
.
PHONE CONVERSATION
.
NURSE GBEMI: Hello doctor…. I am fine, thank u sir
.
DR SANYA: The network was bad d other time, I couldn’t hear what u were saying….
.
NURSE GBEMI: Yes, I could notice it too sir… I even tried calling back but d network was extremely poor….
.
DR SANYA: You were almost asking for my favour before d network went that bad……
.
NURSE GBEMI: Yes doctor….
.
DR SANYA: What kind of favour?
.
NURSE GBEMI: I need your permission to be #off from work tomorrow sir……Nurse Feyisetan has already agreed to stand in for me….
.
DR SANYA: So, you have chosen who will stand in for u, even when I haven’t granted d permission….
.
[ Nurse Gbemi sounded a little bit scared….]
.
NURSE GBEMI: Not exactly like that sir…. I was only trying to have all logistics in place before coming up with d request….. I am very sorry, sir
.
DR SANYA: It’s all right … So, can I know what is taking u away from work tomorrow?
.
NURSE GBEMI: It’s my health, sir
.
DR SANYA: Your health??
.
NURSE GBEMI: Yes sir…. I have a #chronic stomach ache
.
[ I began to think about it….. if this lady is indeed having a #chronic stomach ache, how come her voice is this clear? Or has she forgotten that I am a medical doctor?]
.
DR SANYA: Since when?
.
NURSE GBEMI: It began about 2hours ago
.
[ Well, who am I to say she was lieing?]
.
DR SANYA: It is well. I hope u have been able to take medications?
.
NURSE GBEMI: Yes, I have.
.
DR SANYA: I think it’s even too early to start taking permission to be off from work tomorrow…. abi, who says u won’t be fine by tomorrow morning when u wake up? Abi, didn’t u say u took medications?
.
[ I couldn’t get any response from her]
.
DR SANYA: Well, let’s not forget that I am a medical doctor. So, I will like to see u tomorrow in office to assess your condition myself. I will be the one to determine if u need bed-rest or not. Is that okay by u?
.
[ She was #silent …. My Mary looked on at me…]
.
DR SANYA: Are u still there?
.
NURSE GBEMI: Yes sir, I am here….
.
DR SANYA: So, why then didn’t u answer me?
.
NURSE GBEMI: I did, sir
.
[ From all these, even a fool would
#easily conclude that something was not adding up…. ]
.
DR SANYA: Let me see u in office tomorrow…. You can’t be a judge in your own case, it is even against our professional ethics
.
NURSE GBEMI: All right, sir. See u tomorrow morning in office
.
DR SANYA: Good!!!… Bye!
.
[ #End_Of_Phone_Conversation …..]
.
MARY: It was difficult for u to grant her permission…
.
DR SANYA: How could I? Can’t u see d #handwritings on the wall that the lady is hiding a lot…..Besides that, what genuine excuse can I give to those coming to question her tomorrow if she is suddenly not at work tomorrow…..??
.
MARY: Hmmmm. I can’t wait to hear d questions those people have for her…..
.
DR SANYA: Same here. Tomorrow is pregnant.
.
>>>Mary and I talked extensively that night before we finally called it a day in d bedroom.
.
>>>I had a sweet night rest. It was Dr Korede’s call that woke me up at around 6:38 in d morning…..
.
DR KOREDE: Good morning, doc. I can observe that my call woke u up…. Sorry about that.
.
DR SANYA: Oh no, it’s nothing. How was your own night?
.
DR KOREDE: Not good, boss!
.
[ I was shocked to hear that, so I sat down properly on d bed….]
.
DR SANYA: What do u mean by that, please?
.
DR KOREDE: Doctor, last night, I had a
#dream .
.
DR SANYA: A dream?
.
DR KOREDE: Yes, a dream…..a disturbing one for that matter…., and that’s why I am calling u early this morning….
.
[ I somehow became so eager to listen to what he has for me…..Mary has woken up, looking at me in the eyes…..]
.
DR SANYA: And what’s d dream all about?
.
DR KOREDE: It’s about our own nurse Gbemisola…..
.
DR SANYA: (Anxiously) Okay, I am listening please!
.
DR KOREDE: Doctor, the dream is not what I can be discussing with u on phone. But the #bottomline is that I think it’s not safe for us to allow nurse Gbemisola to face those deceased’s relatives alone…..
.
DR SANYA: Of course, we can’t leave her alone with them, she is still our employee….
.
DR KOREDE: Yes, I know she is. But I am still suggesting it will be safer to hear her out first before she faces d panel of those people. In fact, that is why I am calling this early to arrange for that…..
.
DR SANYA: I get your point. Send a call through to her. Tell her to meet us in d office before 7:30 this morning
.
DR KOREDE: Good. See u soon doc.
.
[ #End_of_conversation ]
.
DR SANYA: Dr Korede is of the opinion that we meet nurse Gbemisola first before she meets the deceased’s family…..
.
MARY: Are u sure u can trust this your assistant that much??
.
DR SANYA: I don’t know,…..believe me, I am confused…..because basing it on a mere dream is what is worrying me right now ……
.
MARY: A dream?
.
DR SANYA: Yes, a dream! Dr Korede said he had a dream last night
.
MARY: What’s the dream all about?
.
DR SANYA: He wouldn’t tell me until we meet tomorrow in office……
.
[ Mary looked on #speechlessly at me…. I stood up to hurry up into the bathroom without knowing what d day has as revelations for me….But with all the facts on ground, I knew that the day was #pregnant.]
