Claimed by the Mafia

Daryl Madison

“Dr Madison! We need you in the ward now!!“ Sarah, One of nurse said as she barged into my office with this frightened look on her face.

“Sarah? What's going on?" I asked as I shut my laptop close and got up pushed my seat back.

I don't know what's going on, but from her look I can tell it's really an emergency.

I took off my stethoscope around my neck and dropped it on my table before I walked away.

“The patient, the one we're about to operate on CS___” she said breathlessly.

I walked to her and held her shoulders “Sarah, look at me.. relax" I said to her lowly. She took a deep breath before she continued her statement.

“Mrs Camila…” she finally said

“The one in the labor room, we are having a little problem with her” she explained already panting.

" Oh, isn't Doctor Theo supposed to be the one to operate on her?“ I asked as I pulled away to walk out of my office with her following me behind.

“Yeah exactly, I have no idea why he passed out before the operation" she replied and my jaw dropped.

“Doctor Theo passed out? Damn…alright then” I replied and made a right turn.

" He's been taken to a ward for proper care, all we have to do now is to save the mother and her baby” she replied and then I walked into the Lab.

" Dr Madison!“ Another doctor called out.

I went to get my nose mask and wore them on, wore my cap too and then I went to wash my hands thoroughly.

" The patients Blood pressure has really gone high, I'm scared we might lose her” another doctor said

" We are losing no one, not the mother, not the baby” I replied and wore my hand gloves.

The other nurses around Walked to me and tied my coat around my waist.

I didn't want to touch anything again, now I have my gloves on.

As soon as they were done, I walked to the bed where my patient was laid and sighed.

“Has she been placed on anaesthesia?" I asked before I begin anything

“Yes doctor" she replied

“Good" I replied and stood by the end of the bed..

“The catheter bag now and the tube?" I requested for as a nurse handled it over to me.

I am going to be placing it in her bladder to collect her urine, anything might happen.

“Let's get started"

A nurse went to cleanse her abdomen while I stood between her “The scalpel blade?"

“Here it is" a nurse replied and handled it to me.

After taking it into my hands, I slowly sent it to her abdomen to make the cut.

The incision was done horizontally near her public hair line.

Damn, I can't believe I am gonna be doing this now. I'm on shift but here I am operating on a patient, that's the way it had always been.

I could be called upon any time.

20 minutes later,

Still in the labor room, everything has been going on smoothly just the way I want it.

“Morris retractors?"

“Here"

“Scissors?"

“Here it is doctor" another nurse replied.

I was finally able to see the baby a little bit, and then I made the last cut before I pulled the baby out gently.

“A boy" I called out immediately

"Okay there's another one in” I hurriedly said and a nurse came by my side to hold the boy.

Again, I sent my hands in and pulled out the baby.

Soft, beautiful and loud baby cried filled the room immediately.

“This one is a girl" I continued with a bright smile on my face.

“Oh thank goodness" a nurse sighed heavily

“I was scared at a point when Dr Theo passed out, scared we would lose the mother and her babies" the nurse beside me cried.

" Hey, it's okay” I replied and turned back to begin to stitch everything close.

In less than 10 minutes, I finished up and walked to the washing sink to wash my hands.

“I'm sure you can take care of the babies from here" I said referring to the nurses
