Doctor Annastacia's Love Scandal
Heart Like Titanium

After two full days of torment before JC returned to California, Annastacia's life returned to normal as if it had calmed down after the storm. She blocked JC's cellphone number on her cellphone. In her logical mind if JC distributed the exciting video of himself and Anna it would also have a negative impact on his artistic career. So just try...

This morning Doctor Annastacia had a case collaboration appointment on the operating table with Doctor John Baldere. They will perform surgery to remove a woman's mammary gland tumor (breast gland) that has grown in size. Indeed, the case becomes rather difficult when the size of the tumor lump is large. There will be many blood vessels that must be secured by tying before cutting. The risk of bleeding is great. Therefore, Doctor John asked Doctor Annastacia to help him because she is the best doctor in the surgical department at Wyndham Hospital International.

"Good morning, everyone. We will start the operation, the blood bag is in place, good. The mammography photo slide is quite clear, Doctor John please," said Anna in front of Doctor John, who were both going to execute the operation. "Morning, Doctor Anna. Come on ...," he said and asked the surgical resident beside him for a scalpel.

When the scalpel pierced the skin, blood immediately poured profusely because it split the peripheral blood capillaries. Beads of sweat appeared on Doctor John's forehead from the tension.

"Do you need my help, Doctor John?" asked Anna offering her help.

"Please Doctor Anna, there are a lot of blood vessels around the tumor," said Doctor John, handing Anna the tweezers and scalpel knife.

Quickly, Anna made a scratch beside the first incision, indeed blood was pouring out profusely, but she knew it was just a small capillary. She cleaned the blood with sterile gauze then removed the skin layer and tried to replace the tumor underneath.

After clearly visible the sphere wrapped in a thin tissue membrane, Doctor Anna tied all the large blood vessels connected to the tumor sphere. When she saw that everything was safe, she cut the vein and removed the tumor formation from the patient's chest.

"Wash with NS fluid and then suction please," Doctor Anna ordered which was immediately followed up by the surgical resident who helped her.

"Good job, Doctor Anna," said Doctor John. He also checked whether all the benign tumor tissue was removed.

"Is this part clean, Doc?" asked Doctor Anna before she closed the wide gaping surgical scar with several layers of stitches, leaving no space between the tissues to prevent infection.

"Clear! You can close it now, Doctor Anna," said Doctor John and then looked at the patient's vital condition. Everything was under control even though the bleeding was quite heavy at the beginning of the surgery.

Anna's hands nimbly sewed the muscle that had separated earlier in the space the tumor tissue had removed. Then finely sew the skin neatly so as not to cause keloids (scar tissue) after wound healing.

"Beautiful stitching, Doctor Anna. This woman will be very grateful to you for the work your hands have done on her body," said Doctor John with admiration.

Annastacia smiled through her mask at John. "You praise me too much, Doc! It's my duty to give the best for every patient on my operating table," replied Anna.

"As usual, Guys. Monitor the patient's condition after surgery and report progress to me or Doctor John after the patient wakes up. Don't forget to give pain relievers and injection antibiotics before being taken to the patient's treatment room. I'll say goodbye, everyone," Doctor Anna ordered before leaving room OK 2.

Doctor John also left room OK 2 following Doctor Anna. He took off his sterile clothes in the changing room with Anna.

"Thank you for your help, Anna. You're amazing," said John and kissed Anna's forehead tenderly.

Annastacia wrapped her arms around John's waist and rested her head on his chest. All the tension on the operating table meant nothing to her because it had become daily food for her soul. Her inner wound due to all the repeated sexual harassment she received from JC made her vulnerable. While she was unable to tell John, her lover, and fiancé.

The tears welled up in her eyes, Anna held them back so John wouldn't suspect and wonder why she was crying.

They both came out of the dressing room OK. John had no other obligations there. Meanwhile, Nurse Belina was rushing Anna.

"Doctor Anna, sorry to bother you again this morning. We have an emergency patient in the ER. Attempted suicide, the patient is a 17-year-old girl. This is the patient's status data, Doc." Nurse Belina handed the patient data file folder into Anna's hands.

Immediately Annastacia reads the file, an act of suicide by slashing a vein in her wrist causing massive bleeding. She knows what to do, it's a small thing for her. However, timing is what matters.

"This must be dealt with immediately. Have all the preoperative procedures been completed? Where is the operating room, Nurse Belina?" asked Anna swiftly as she handed back the file folder to Nurse Belina.

"OK Room 3, Doc. Everything is ready for your execution," said Nurse Belina, smiling admiringly at Anna.

"Okay, I'm going to OK 3 now," Anna said then rushed to the operating room. She immediately changed into a sterile surgical gown and put on other equipment.

"Good morning, everyone. Let's start the operation," said Anna and then looked at the slashes on her wrists that looked terrible and deep.

In her heart, Anna groaned. Is that what she wanted a few days ago when she was feeling depressed because of JC's threats with their exciting video? However, her life is precious, she is a helper for many of her patients, just like now. Tears welled up in her eyes and made her vision a little blurry.

"I want tissue paper for my eyes," said Anna, which shocked the entire OK 3 room.

The paramedic on duty did not question Doctor Annastacia's request, the young man wiped the tears from Anna's eyes and cheeks.

Without losing focus, Doctor Anna continued her work on the operating table. She immediately found the torn artery and tied it with a micro-thread and made sure there was no other source of bleeding before sewing the torn tissue down to the outer skin on the girl's wrist.

She glanced at the face of the owner of the hand who was anesthetized unconscious. 'Beautiful!' said Anna in her heart. She also thought sadly, whether all beautiful women are at risk of experiencing complicated love stories that might lead to sexual harassment from the opposite sex like what happened to her.

"Done! As usual, please monitor the patient's condition post-surgery. Please let me know the progress when the patient wakes up. Because this is a patient with attempted suicide, you must tell the treatment room staff to pay more attention. Hospital treatment. Keep sharp objects, including stainless steel forks and knives, "said Doctor Anna at length.

It's truly like that, the patient's mentality is unstable. Such cases should be transferred to the Department of Psychology for post-traumatic syndrome therapy. Doctor Anna will ask Nurse Belina from ER to contact her colleague Dr. Annalisa Eastwood, a psychiatrist.
