Chapter 17: Torturing the Occult Patient

Suci just graduated from nursing college mid last year. And currently, she works as a nurse in a hospital for the last 8 months after her graduation.

The hospital where the saint worked at the moment, was the same hospital as when he was apprenticed. Because when a sacred performance appraisal internship is considered qualified and good, be holy is called back by this hospital to work professionally after graduation.

During the months of work, the saint was assigned to the 2nd or 3rd floor of the inpatient building. But the last 3 weeks, he was transferred to the ER, or Emergency Unit.

There is no specific reason for his move. The hospital does have such a rule, to make its medical personnel have more flight hours, make them professional, until later able to provide good and satisfactory medical services to patients. Because if the hospital service gets a 5-star rating, then the name of the hospital itself will be fragrant name. And it's time for Saints, to get more experience by working in the ER section.

Last week, the holy got a day shift. During that week, his work went by leaving a bitter impression and a sense of annoyance. Yes, indeed 2 times he saw a patient die in the ER room. One patient died in an accident, the other died of poisoning. And that's what makes him upset and sad because he can not save the patient even though he has tried his best.

Said to be in shock, honestly holy is still not used to it. But for 8 months working as a nurse, in fact he has seen the incidence of patients die as many as a dozen times. So compared to his first experience when he saw the patient die, the sense of shock felt sacred now feels thinner. Not that he no longer has empathy, holy still feel compassion with patients and families left behind. He was still upset and sad when there were patients who failed to be saved. But as time went on, the saint now began to realize, that the work he chose, was like this.

And the Holy also continues to pray, may the patients he handled, be given healing and health back as usual.

After last Sunday can ration day shift, now holy get ration night shift. And in accordance with what is stated in the instructions of the hospital rules, the holy night service will be accompanied by 2 other nurses.

But, one of his colleagues tonight was unable to attend. His senior colleague named Aswan asked for a work permit because of family affairs. In the absence of Aswan, then tonight, the saint will only keep watch with his other senior named Mbak Rika, a 39-year-old nurse.

Suci and Mbak Rika are now sitting next to each other in front of a table filled with files. Each of them is checking the data carefully. Things like that go on for a while. Until then, came a nurse from the back hallway of the ER with a hurried face. In front of Suci and Ms Rika, the nurse said, "Bak Rika, please help me. I need help."

Ms. Rika immediately responded by chiming in, "What's wrong?"

Then the nurse explained, "Please take the patient's infusion in room 207. The infusion came off, I tried to fail continuously."

Mbak Rika is famous for her ability to install infusions on patients. He is good at doing that. So with pleasure, Mama Rika also heeded the request of the nurse. Then the two of them started walking towards room two empty seven. Leaving the holy to stand guard alone in the ER.

The time has now shown at 1 am. Already about 15 minutes ago Mbak Rika permission to go to room two empty seven. Leaving the holy to stand guard alone in the ER now.

Tonight, the ER is empty. Completely empty without a single patient lying there. Tonight is also the first time for holy night vigil in the ER. He thought that this kind of situation was normal. In that quiet atmosphere, Suci continued to check the files that were piling up in front of him carefully.

Then while the saint was reading a file, he heard the sound of the door creaking open. Quickly, the saint immediately turned his gaze toward the front door. He saw the door open there, but the saint was sure no one had entered just now. Then with curiosity, he got up from the chair to check what had just happened.

After walking in and out repeatedly, sweeping the gaze in various directions, checking every corner of the room, the saint found no one there. Neither the room inside the ER, nor the veranda outside the ER, the saint found no one there, the situation was completely empty, he could only find himself in the silence of the night. The wind also had to blow hard against the Saints who are now on the veranda of the ER. Then with a feeling of wonder while glancing at the lyrics, the saint went back into the room wondering in his heart. Then he closed the door, and went back to his desk.

While reading a file, Suci again gasped when the ER door again opened. But in contrast to the previous odd occurrence, it was now sacred to see a middle-aged woman just opening the door, and start walking towards her.

The woman looked like she was grimacing like she was enduring the pain. The saint who knew about it immediately put the file he was holding and said, "Mom, mother why?" Ask the saint as he walked closer to the woman.

While grimacing in pain, the woman said, "Sus, please help me. My body hurts all. Please take care of me until I recover." His words pleaded with a welt before the Holy One.

Hearing the woman's words, the saint responded, "Yes good Mom. I'll help you. You brought the same ID card as the BPJS card?"

Understanding the meaning of the sacred words, the woman replied, "Yes I have. I'll take it for a while." Say the woman. He began to reach into his pocket, then gave the identity card requested to the saint.

The saints began to record. But because it took a long time, holy told the woman to lie on the treatment mattress, she could not bear to see the condition of the woman who continued to grimace in pain. The woman obeyed the sacred commandment, she immediately approached the closest mattress and laid her body there. And after he finished recording, the holy deftly began to examine the woman.

But when examining the condition of his patients, the saint felt surprised instead of playing. Not only because the woman's skin is pale and dry, but the thermometer she uses to check her body temperature also shows awkward things. The woman's temperature is at 27 degrees Celsius. Yes, it is the temperature that is commonly found on a corpse. And during his holy journey as a nurse, only this time he discovered the case of a patient having such low temperatures.

So, the sacred mind of today raises one question. Who is the person he is checking out right now?

But the saint tried to think sanely. Suci thinks that the thermometer he used just now might be broken. Therefore, the saint tried to find another thermometer and check the woman's body temperature again.

But similarly, when the saint rechecked the woman's body temperature with another thermometer, the number that appeared was still 27 degrees Celsius. Even after 4 times changing the thermometer, the saint gets the same reality.

While wondering inwardly, the saint also glanced at the woman's face slowly. They look at them now too. And just after, the sacred feather stood up to make him shudder.

Starting to get suspicious and feeling that something was wrong, the saint said to the woman, "Wait... Here for a minute, ma'am." Then the saint rushed out of the ER room, down the back hallway to room two empty seven, where the senior Rika is currently located.

But just want to climb the stairs to the 2nd floor, holy instead see Mbak Rika down from the 2nd floor. They also passed now in the hallway of the stairs. Then with a slightly muddy tongue, the saint said, "M-m-mbak... A-there are patients in... Ugd Room. But. The temperature's 27 degrees." Holy speech stammered.

Not really understand the meaning of the holy words just now, sister Rika also chanted, "You're all right? How nervous is that?"

Feeling difficult to explain, the saint can only say once again by saying, "We go to the ER. Let me see for myself." Then they rushed to the ER with quick steps.

With a state of confusion, the saint began to walk in and out looking for the figure of the woman earlier. Searching around every corner many times, but still, he found no one there. Ended up nil, holy tried to explain what he experienced just now to Mbak Rika by saying, "Mbak, take it seriously. There was a woman in here. His face was like pain again. Keep fit I check his body temperature, it's the number is at 27 degrees. That's the temperature of a dead body."

Trying to think logically, Madam Rika replied, "The thermometer you wear is broken for sure it is. Where are the people now?"

And at once, the saint immediately chimed in by saying, "I've changed 4 times the Thermometer. But yes the same. That's why I was nyamperin Mbak, so that you can see yourself. Oh yeah, here... I also asked for the same KTP BPJS card. I don't get her name wrong, Irma. I'll take it." Rika's speech just now with a chuckle. Then he immediately approached the work desk where he put the ID card and BPJS card the woman was there.

But when the saint looked carefully at the desk there, he could not find the woman's identity card at all. There is no table. There is nothing in the drawer. There is no under the table. There was nothing in his pocket either. Wherever the saint searched, he could not find the identity card of the woman earlier.

But there remains one proof that what is said holy is true. Clearly, the saint wrote the woman's name into the hospital's data base. The woman's name with all the other information is clearly listed right now on the computer.

Then after successfully convinced by the holy, Mother Rika also said, "Jaudah gapapa. Also called a hospital. There must be something like that. Now don't think about it. So make it your experience." Rika is calming.

But still feeling cool, the saint even overcame him by saying, "Mister, if we check cctv how?"

Ma'am Rika immediately replied, "Cctv check now is also free. No one has access. I can do it later in the morning." Firmly sitting on the chair in front of the work desk.

Suci himself is actually itching to check the cctv right now, because he wants to know what really happened just now to him. But in accordance with what Mbak Rika said just now, the saint must wait when the morning will arrive. When the person who has the authority to check the cctv has come.

@ @ @ @ @

Long story short, now the time has shown at 8 am. Saints have been changing shifts since an hour ago. He should have gone home by now. But currently the saint is still in the hospital to check the incident last night via cctv. He is waiting for someone who has the authority to access the cctv.

And just now, the person who had the authority to do that came, the hospital security chief had just arrived. Then with a dusty face, holy asked him to check the cctv installed in the ER, to be shown what really happened last night.

After explaining at length to the head of security about what he experienced last night, Mr. Aryo also gave him permission to check the cctv. They went straight to the cctv control room on the 2nd floor. Then replay the cctv recording there to a few hours back. Or rather, in the early hours of the day, when the female patient entered the ER room. And when the cctv recording was played back, Mr. Aryo also chanted, "Sir, who are you talking to?" said Mr. Aryo with surprise while glancing at Suci.

Yes, the visual cctv shows that the saint is talking alone there. Not only that, when the cctv is rotated intact from the beginning, the visual will show a complete holy who is busy serving a patient. Starting from asking for a patient's identity card, recording the identity of the patient, checking his body temperature, to busy looking for a thermometer. And strangely enough, the saint was alone there, not a single patient was seen entering the ER last night.

And what surprised him even more was that the ER door never opened by itself last night, unless it was holy himself who opened it last night when he checked around.

So if what the cctv just showed was the right thing, then what exactly happened? Who was the holy patient in the early hours?

Of course, that strange thing no one can answer. Therefore, Saints can only get out of the cctv room while wondering in their hearts.

Then when he wanted to go back to the ER room to get his belongings to go home, the saint saw a corpse just put into the morgue. He also saw some ordinary citizens and 3 police officers there as if they were escorting the body. Without asking, the saint was convinced that the body was a murder victim or anything like that, which is why there were police there. And the saint was also convinced, that the corpse had just come.

But seeing the morgue that became crowded at this time, the saint became curious because of it. Then he postponed his return to join the hoard, find out what really happened to the corpse.

Until finally, the body wrap was slightly opened to display the head and face of the corpse. The saint who saw the corpse suddenly became somewhat hysterical in the mind. Consciously, the saint remembered very well the face of the corpse exactly the same as the woman last night that he examined.

In his hysterical sense, the saint tried to ask one of the people there, one who might know the true events about the corpse. To that man, the Holy One said, "Sorry sir. Whose body name is it? Why the hell is he still dead?" Say it carefully.

The man replied, "His name is Irma. He's a citizen of my village. She was tortured by her husband, a victim of kdrt. I think his death was strangled. His body also seems to have died from 2 days ago." The man explained.

Hearing that explanation, the saint was increasingly hysterical in his mind. Not only was the face of the corpse exactly the same as what he saw last night, even the name was the same. Moreover, the corpse was rumored to have died 2 days ago. And if so, then who did the holy night face?

Feeling enough with the awkwardness of today, the saint finally decided to go home with a mind that is still hysterical. He told his family about this incident when he got home.

And lucky for the saint, for he has an understanding father and mother. The shock that was enveloping him now began to fade slowly, when his parents gave wise advice to him with warm intonation, which was finally able to make the Holy soul and mind become calm again. And just like what Rika said last night, the holy parents are saying the same thing now. That what had just been experienced by the saint, he did not need to think too deeply. Simply make it a valuable life experience.
