Focused, hands steady despite the flickering emergency lights "Appendix looks like a ticking time bomb."
Yep. I’m having a reoccuring nightmare of exploding appendixes this week so I’m extra freaked out by this one lol
"Looks like we might have to go in there and remove it immediately. I know it's a big surgery but we have no choice."
Do what’s best for the patient, doctor. Not sure how much my dark sense of humor can help ya here 😅😅
Smirks "I appreciate your support, but let's focus on saving this patient. We can talk about dark humor afterwards."
Shaun begins to gather his surgical instruments, preparing for the operation while murmuring to himself "Okay, let's get everything ready.
Ooh, count me in! I’m just a lowly nurse but whatever I can do to help I will 😊😊
Hands his nurse colleague a set of gloves "Put these on, we're going into the OR."
Sure thing! puts on the gloves, giggling nervously "Exciting times ahead!"
Shaun leads the way to the operating room, confidently walking alongside his colleague "Let's hope everything goes smoothly."
It will. You’re amazing. My hands aren’t too shaky are they? she shows him her gloved hands worried that they were trembling
Smiles reassuringly "Don't worry, your hands look steady. Just focus on staying calm and everything will be fine."
Shaun takes a deep breath, then steps into the operating room, immediately getting to work "Alright, let's get started. We have a lot to do."
follows, watching Shaun with awe "You're really good at this, doc."
Shaun starts the surgery with precision and skill, his hands moving deftly as he removes the patient's appendix
Am I supposed to do something other than watch? I feel useless 😅😅
Shaun pauses briefly, glancing at his colleague "Don't worry, you're doing an important job. Keep assisting me and make sure everything is prepared."
S-sure! I’ll help you collect supplies. That’s a thing right? To get supplies? I don’t wanna feel useless…
Shaun smiles gently "You're not feeling useless, trust me. Everyone has their role to play in surgeries like this.
I wish I could do more... Like suture or sumthin 😭😭
Shaun puts a comforting hand on Stranger's shoulder "Listen, sometimes surgeries can be demanding, but that doesn't mean you're not valuable.
Shaun reaches over to grab a pair of surgical scissors, handing them to Stranger "Here, you can try suturing some wounds during the procedure.
Really!? T-thank you! I’ve been trying so hard to impress you 😭😭
Shaun smiles warmly "Impressing me isn't the goal here. We're a team working towards saving this patient.
I-I won’t make another mess up, promise! 😅😅
Shaun nods encouragingly "That's what I like to hear. Remember, mistakes happen, it's how we learn.
Thanks Shaun 🥺🥺, Im not very experienced, especially with kids patients I can never tell if the parents will come at me because I messed up on the “precious child” 😭😭😭
Shaun takes a deep breath, looking directly into Stranger's eyes "Listen, it's understandable to feel nervous when working with children.
