At ODDS - Introduction


Jay was dripping her way out of the bathroom when her phone rang. She went over to pick up the hand set. That was when she heard the order. "Dr. Warren, there is an emergency." She almost couldn't believe it. She left the hospital an hour and a half ago, got a shower when she arrived home and hadn't even relaxed a little bit when the summons came. She wanted a break. It was a holiday and most of the doctors were having a swell time. Gosh, why can't she.

She quickly dressed, left her house and drove as fast as she could to the hospital. It was something she was used to. She remembered that as an intern, the supervising doctor once said, "Doctors don't have to look good. They have to work good." And he was right. You don't have time to dab on blush or paint lipstick on your mouth. Every second meant the life of someone. She was halfway to her destination, when she picked p her cellular phone and called the hospital.
