The next day, the city hospital was as busy as ever.
Everleigh only took three days off. She went to work early in the morning and took an intern on rounds.
"You need to pay more attention to the patient in room 6. There is a slight issue in the results these few days. Check if he didn't follow the doctor's orders and if he had secretly eaten meals other than the ones provided by the hospital. His blood sugar is too high. You must make it clear to his family members to control him."
"Okay, Dr. Trevino."
"Have you done the blood test for the patient in room number 9?"
"Yes."
"Go to the laboratory to get the test results and send them to my office later."
"Everleigh." As they were talking, Christopher walked towards them.
Everleigh raised her gaze slightly from the case files in her hand and looked in front of her. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of several female interns behind Christopher drooling over him. She was a little speechless.
Christopher was tame that day and did not tease the interns. "Mr. Lawson called for a meeting. Have you finished your rounds?"
"Meeting? Now?" Everleigh looked at her watch and said, "Yes, I'm done. Let's go together."
After that, she handed the case files to the intern next to her and went to the conference room with Christopher.
"Why is there a sudden meeting? We were not notified in advance."
"I heard from the head nurse that the city is doing primary health care refinement and resource allocation. I reckon that a group of medical practitioners will need to be sent to the suburbs."
"Where?"
"Why? Do you want to go?" Christopher glanced at her. "Forget it. You have a lot on your plate already. If it's voluntary, do not make any rash decisions."
"It's okay if it's not far away."
Everleigh smiled and when they arrived at the conference room, Christopher pushed the door open.
As Christopher expected, the director suddenly called for a meeting for primary health care refinement. The city hospital corresponded with a few towns and villages in the suburbs around Ocpeace City. They were sending a group of medical experts to train the local doctors. They would also conduct public welfare activities for the local villagers to educate and promote health knowledge.
Mr. Lawson said excitedly, "Although these activities are voluntary, everyone is encouraged to actively respond. Doctors should have the spirit of wanting to save lives and rescue the wounded. I hope that the medical staff in our hospital are responsible medical practitioners."
Everleigh flipped through the information in her hand and felt a tug on her right hand. Christopher pushed his meeting minutes to her and on it, he had written, "The one who goes is an idiot."
Next to it was also a drawing of a tortoise.
Everleigh could not hold back her laughter. She lowered her head and laughed.
Unfortunately, it was silent in the conference room. Most of the specialists in the hospital were not willing to do such basic-level work. No one spoke, so the laugh became a little unexpected.
Mr. Lawson's voice stopped abruptly. "Dr. Trevino, what are you laughing at?"
All eyes fell on Everleigh.
"Ah?" Everleigh's smile froze, and she said awkwardly, "No, I wasn't laughing."
"Do you think what I said was funny?"
"No, of course not."
Mr. Lawson looked at her with a serious face. "I just saw what you were talking to Dr. Meyer. What did you write? Let me have a look."
Christopher's expression changed.
Mr. Lawson was very narrow-minded. If he saw what Christopher wrote in the meeting minutes, it would be the end for him.
"Director," Christopher straightened his back immediately. As he closed the meeting minutes, he raised his voice and said, "I'm discussing with Dr. Trevino about which village we should go to."
