Chapter 63: Strangers

Dr. Jim reported to the hospital earlier today. He was on deck as the physician - on - duty the previous day so there were four patients admitted under his service. Jia, as usual, graced his day with her love and care by preparing an early meal, as well as all that he needed, before dropping him off.

It did not take him long to see his three, out of four, patients. They just had lighter cases such as essential hypertension and stable angina. After starting a beta - blocker on one, a calcium - channel blocker and nitrates on the other, he thought he could now be focused on the rest of his tasks for the whole shift.
