Billionaire's Second Chance

When life gives you a second chance, will you grab it or let it slip away?.

PRESENT

McKenzie

“Nurse Simmons, you can go ahead and stitch him up,he's good to go;send him up to his room.”

“ Yes Dr Pierce”. God today was a hectic day. Two surgeries and a full ER. I pulled my scrubs off and headed back to the temporary office. My beeper started going off. I checked it and it was another one. I started running. I grabbed my bag and coat and left. It would take me fifteen minutes to get to the private hospital. I grabbed my phone and called ahead.

“ This is Dr Pierce. I need Neurosurgeon intern Bryan Dennings. Dr Mitchell from pediatrics. Er Nurse Lanie Montgomery and Er Nurse Shannon Payton to scrub in for the surgery. Have them prep the patient and wait for me and also have the patient's file ready. ETA ten minutes ”.

“Dr Pierce. this is Lanie Montgomery, We're ready, there's swelling and bleeding in the patient's brain”.

“Seven minutes”. I ended the call and floored it. I made it in record time. I rushed through the emergency door and the first thing I saw was him. I wasn't expecting to see him standing there along with his entire family. I could see the looks of confusion and shock. However, I was a doctor and I had a patient. I rushed past them and handed my bag to Sam. I grabbed the chart from Lanie. The minute I saw the name of the patient,I knew I had to do whatever it took to save his life.

“Let's go,Have the interns go to the viewing gallery,they may learn something. Also if the family of the patient wishes to”. I said running to the OR. I sterilized my hands and wore my scrubs,I waited on the others. Grayson was already on the OR table. The minute he saw me he smiled.

“God damn Kenzie,You look good, Do me a favor if I stay alive make sure you make me look good.” I knew everything said would be heard in the viewing gallery.

“I need you to stop talking and be quiet MrPaul, or you'll make it worse.you're not going to die. I need you alive so I can make your life miserable. I'll make sure you look good. I've got you ”.

“Good”

“Bryan” I looked at him ,he knew what to do. Within a few minutes Grayson was out. I checked his Reports.

“Remove this section of hair only. Bryan you can explain to the interns what is going on”.

“Kenzie, He's there ”. Zara said quietly. I didn't have to look up to know he was there. Grayson was his best friend, they were like brothers and he would always be there for him. Him being here wasn't My problem.

“I know but I am not interested in him at the moment “.

“Finished Dr Pierce.” Lanie said.

“Scalpel.”

I began making an incision on the left side of his head. I was so focused on what I was doing ,I zoned out everything except what was needed. It took us eight hours but it was done. The swelling and bleeding had stopped and he would have minimal scarring. I looked up into the viewing gallery.

“Any questions?”.

“Dr Pierce, most surgeons would open the entire skull structure,why didn't you?”.

I looked at him , Timothy,he was an intern that I truly didn't appreciate.

“Why Give a patient more scars than necessary ? ,why give a patient a longer recovery time?. If a surgeon is capable, and confident that they can perform a surgery with minimal damage to the patient without breaking any rules then by all means they can accomplish it”.
