Ten years later
Seraline Jones hospital had never had so many patients in one day, a public bus had an accident and the hospital was the closest to the scene so the victims were rushed there at once.
For the young doctors who were residents, it was an adventure but a particular case was quite intriguing.
“Help someone help!!” a young guy came rushing a lady in, on a stroller.
She was shot in the chest and she needed immediate medical attention.
“Are you related to her in any way?”one of the experienced doctors who came rushing towards him asked as he was checking if her heart beat was stable.
“No I just found her lying on the street but you will have to help her” the guy replied.
“If you are willing to file a police report then yes if not then we cannot do anything…” The doctor removed his stethoscope from her chest.
One of the resident doctors looked at the lady on the stroller with so much cautiousness and disbelief she ran out of the place immediately.
“Mia! Mia! You have to come look…we have a gunshot case” Rose kept pestering Mia who was attending to a patient.
“We have cases everyday” Mia moved Rose’s hand away from her.
“But this one is special, I promise.
Just leave this boring task they gave you. You are a cardio- surgeon and not a nurse” she practically dragged Mia out of the patient’s room and down the staircase to the entrance of the hospital where the lady was pushed to one side of the entrance.
She was covered in her own blood and it was obvious that she was losing alot of blood.
No one wanted to attend to her, in fact the person that brought her to the hospital ran away. He didn’t want anything that would involve him with the police.
He never knew that helping someone with a gunshot wound would get him involved with the police.
As Mia slowly approached the victim her glasses suddenly fell but thankfully they didn’t break…she stumbled backwards and almost fell to the floor when she saw who it was.
It was her lookalike again…the one she met while she was in high school or was it someone else?. Mia brought out her stethoscope to check if she was still breathing.
“You cannot treat her Mia…I know she looks like you but you are going to put your job and your career at stake.
Unless someone files a police report we cannot treat her…she might be a wanted criminal for all we know and then they would accuse us of harboring a criminal” Doctor Sanchez who was the chief surgeon of the hospital suddenly stopped Mia.
It didn’t take Mia more than two second to retreat and move away from her look alike. She knew what it took her to become a surgeon and she wasn’t going to let this strange lady come in between her and her dreams.
“She is your sister…save her” she heard her father’s voice echo in her head.
She began to hit her head in an attempt to drive the voice away but it didn’t go away.
“Stop!!” She kept on hitting her head more and more trying to cause herself pain hoping the voice would go away but it only got louder and louder.
Doctors, staff and patients all looked at Mia acting like some psycho…though this wasn’t the first time Mia had panicked so much.
Doctors even wondered why the hospital management chose to hire someone who was autistic to be a doctor.
It just didn’t make any sense and as a result of that Mia was never allowed to take any major role when it came to carrying out surgeries.
They mainly assigned her the jobs of the nurses or asked her to set the lights to be used in the theatre.
Mia took a slight pause and looked at her sister…and as if something came over her she pushed the stroller to the theatre.
She has never done that type of surgery before, she has never done any surgery as a matter of fact and here she was attempting to do one so complicated all by herself. she had locked herself in the theatre and turned on the lights.
She got scared when she listened to her sister’s heartbeat.. it sounded faint and she looked like she was giving up the ghost.
She took a deep breathe and put on her gloves before she closed her eyes for some time and then opened them again.
Like a video in her head, she remembered how one of the experienced doctors in the hospital had handled such a case before and she followed each and every procedure carefully.
The patient was losing blood…Mia was O+. She knew she could give her blood to this look alike of hers but who was going to take out the blood from her.
Meanwhile outside the theatre
Doctors were panicking and they paced back and forth…bumping into each other.
Nobody was brave enough to inform the management about what Mia just did…Rose was the only person that had faith in Mia.
She knew how smart and dedicated Mia was.
Rose had noticed that a phone fell from the lady while Mia was rushing her to the theatre…although the phone was locked but a number saved as “mum” was in the emergency dial.. she quickly copied the number to her phone and dialed it.
In the theatre
Mia was crazy enough to take out her blood herself, she was about to do it and all she needed was already in the theatre.
“Mia you have to open the door or else you will get into really big trouble…just wait I have called her mother” Rose kept on screaming from outside the theatre.
“But…” Mia dropped the injection.
“She is losing blood…she needs blood now” Mia dashed out of the theatre to meet rose.
“Her mother is the best donor…she must be a match. We just have to exercise some patience okay?” Rose calmed Mia down.
“Ohk” Mia agreed to wait for her lookalike’s mother but she didn’t know for how long her lookalike was going to last until she finally gives up.
She didn’t want anything to happen to her even though she barely knew who she was.
