Despite the fact that I was on morning shift, I slept off and woke up so late on a beautiful Friday morning…. Don’t blame me, abeg body no be firewood. It must have been caused by a particular
#sleep_pill I took the previous night ….
°°
It was the phone call of
#Nurse_Gbemisola that brought me back to life at exactly 7:45am, meaning that I was 45minutes behind official resumption time. She called to tell me that there was an emergency incident brought in to my hospital ( #Moyinoluwa_Glorious_Hospital) early that morning. Do I still need to tell u the nature of my job? Okay, I am a medical doctor…

[ PHONE CONVERSATION WITH NURSE GBEMISOLA]
.
NURSE GBEMI: Good morning, doctor
.
DR SANYA: Good morning, nurse Gbemi….
.
(She was sounding anxious and frightened on the phone…. I noticed this)
.
DR SANYA: Nurse, is everything all right?.
.
NURSE GBEMI: (Stuttering) Yes,sir….no, sir…. we have emergency, sir.
.
DR SANYA: Emergency? Is Dr Korede not around?
.
(Yes, Dr Korede was my assistant doctor)
.
NURSE GBEMI: Sir, it’s almost 8am and he has gone home….According to him, he had an urgent domestic matter calling for his attention at home….. No sir, he had gone before d emergency was brought in ….In fairness to him, sir he called your number severally but you didn’t pick up…..
.
DR SANYA: What’s the nature of the emergency?
.
NURSE GBEMI: The patient was rushed in few minutes ago, complaining of chronic stomach ache…… Preliminary tests conducted on him through the collection of his blood and urine samples indicated that there is likely of food poisoning….. We have done all that sir, still no improvement…… Presently, his condition is fast becoming a matter of life and death and I’m afraid that if urgent attention is not giving to him on time, we might lose him.
.
[ Yes, I got the message…..Nurse Gbemisola was stylishly telling me to ensure I report in the hospital as quick as possible….. In my hospital, we attend to every patient just like our relative….That is why you see the passion in Nurse Gbemisola’s voice throughout our conversation…
.
DR SANYA: No problem….. I will be on my way right away!
.
[ END OF CONVERSATION….. I dropped the phone at once…. Due to the urgency attached to the condition, I couldn’t take my bath…., even the cup of coffee I had on the table couldn’t be attended to….. I had to dressed up quickly unbathed, picked my 2015 Range Rover model Jeep key….(Do I also need to tell u that I am a prosperous medical doctor?)…… #Laffs
….. I zoomed off straight to the hospital. I chose to go with d Range because I liked speeding with it, it makes speeding more comfortable for me. In my hospital, I don’t joke with #life_and_death issues and my nurses knew that.]

>>>On my way, I was on high speed, very high speed, almost 125km/hr….. Then, time was exactly 8:07am…..Few minutes remainning to get to my hospital, my dad’s call came in on my phone: I put on my phone earpiece to receive d call while I reduced d car speed, even though I knew that I should have parked aside…life no get duplicate:

Well, whatever it is, it can wait…..
