Dawns. Days change. James left for RSUD on his motorcycle. When he entered his study, Miss Reny had already arrived.

"Good morning, ma'am .." said James.

"Good morning, Mr. James .." replied Miss Crispy.

James began to set up his desk. The files and notes about the patient he had made yesterday, he put them on the table.

"Rpa .... Later we visit the patient at a time like yesterday, gapapa?" ask Miss Reny.

"Father, Ma'am .." replied James.

"While waiting for me, does Mr. James want to see the patient's medical record first? There may have been a change in therapy plans after his DPJP visit today. Some of them have made patient visits. But if you want to wait until all the DPJP has made a visit, usually around 10 they just finished, " said Miss Reny.

"Oh yes, Ma'am .... I will think about .... Thanks for the info .." James responded.

"I first well .." said Miss Reny who was preparing to do her job.

"Please, Mom ...."

Miss Reny left James alone in the room. James reopened his work plan.

Last night, James asked his parents what they thought of his patients at PKW. After all, his parents had already eaten a lot of the salt acid of life. They may have other views.

Regarding Suroto's grandfather, his parents agreed with his plan that would apply a spiritual approach. According to them, it was the only way to reduce Grandfather's anxiety, which was to return his confidence to the Provider.

Regarding Farida's grandmother, her parents could not give much input. It all comes back to family decisions. It may seem unfair where the patient is not given the opportunity to decide his own life, but his family must think of the best for Grandma and get to know her person.

For Mr. Herman's case, his parents just smiled. They reminded James of the goodness of God in his life. How in James' early career working at the Hospital, James entrusted this case was not a coincidence. But a plan that the Khalik had arranged. It all depends on James' policy to use his knowledge and experience.

James closed his book after rereading all of his work plans. Then closed his eyes. He prayed for the wisdom of the Creator to be made His instrument. After that, James came out of his study and prepared to visit his patients.

The first patient he wanted to visit was Suroto's grandfather, whose spirit was still burning. In the spirit of 45, James headed for the Bakung ward. Arriving there, James headed to the nurse station and greeted the nurse who was there.

"Good morning, Brother. Has the doctor who treated Suroto's grandfather visited ?" james asked the nurse he knew was older than he was.

"Good morning, sir. The Doctor has already. But the Internal Medicine Doctor hasn't, "the Nurse replied.

"What's the plan from the Bed Doctor, brother?" ask James again.

"If today's blood sugar check is stable and his Internal Medicine Doctor allows it, the Doctor plans to return the patient, sir."

"Eh?" James surprised. That fast?

"Are the surgery wounds healed, brother?" ask James later.

Hearing James' question, the nurse laughed. "Ga may be waiting until he recovers, sir .... The important thing is that it is safe enough to be removed by the specialist. The next wound treatment can be continued at the puskesmas .." explained The Nurse.

James smiled foolishly restraining his embarrassment. It seems he is layman in the medical field.

But behind his smile, James was crisp in his heart. How bitter life must be lived Suroto's grandfather. Whether the mental is ready or not, his life must continue to run without caring how he will live it.

"Yes, Brother .... Excuse me first. I'll be back around 11 with Miss Reny. Hopefully by then there has been a decision from the Internal Medicine Doctor, "say James.

James continued his visit to the Flamboyant ward, where Farida's grandmother was being treated. Although his feelings are still a little shaken about Suroto's grandfather's news, he must manage his feelings as best as possible. Farida's grandmother's case is also not an easy case.

Arriving at the Flamboyant nurse station ward, James said the same greeting and question. "Good morning, Brother.... Has the doctor who treated Farida's grandmother visited ?"

"Good morning, Mr .... Because the family refused chemotherapy, now the treating doctor stayed the Internal Medicine Doctor for his KU repair (noted: KU \= General Circumstances). And he has not yet visited, " replied the nurse who was there.

James nodded in understanding. Previously he had known that Farida's grandmother was also handled by a Digestive Surgeon Specialist (noted: Specialist Surgeon Specialist for the digestive section). Perhaps because there was nothing else she could do, she resigned as Farida's grandmother's DPJP.

"How's Grandma doing now, sister?" ask James again.

"Still limp. Yesterday I checked Hb again, but still in my 8s (noted: Hb \= Hemoglobin, an iron protein contained in red blood cells. The normal figure ranges from 12-15 grams/dL for adult women). Today there may be a transfusion plan of 2 more bags. We wait for the doctor's instructions first, sir .." said the same nurse.

James nodded back as if he understood. Although there is a new medical term that he does not understand very well the meaning, but a little he can feel the meaning of the nurse.

"Mr ...." A mother approached the nurse station and called James.

James looked towards the voice and looked at the mother. James recognized her as one of the families who took care of Farida's grandmother.

"Yes? What's up, Mom?" ask James kindly.

"I'm Farida's grandmother's son. Can we talk for a moment?" tanyanya asked for James time.

"Can. Want to be here or in my office?" ask James to offer.

"Here you are, sir. Just one minute .." she replied.

"Oh yes already. Please, Madam .... Can I help you?"

"Rpa .... Sorry .... Can my mom come home? We have rejected the advice of doctors to do treatment that he said can make vomiting, because it is kasian with the state of the old grandmother. Now that grandma has trouble eating, what if given the drug? So what are you waiting for now, sir?" tanyakanya.

James's confused. Actually not his part explains this. But how else? He should try to look professional.

"Grandma's still limp, Mom .... Hb is still in his 8s. Maybe I need another transfusion. But try later asked the same doctor who treated grandma well .... Maybe if the grandmother has reached a certain stage, the grandmother can go home .." replied James repeating a little sentence nurse earlier.

"Yes .... Alright, Mr .... Thanks for the info .... Sorry to interrupt, " said the mother, retreating.

"Together, Ma'am .." replied James.

After Farida's grandmother's son was not seen again, James also resigned. "Relse .... Later I will come back here again with Miss Reny after the Doctor of Internal Medicine visit aja well .... Probably around 11. Excuse me .." said James.

"Alright, Mr .... Please .." replied the Nurse kindly.

James continued his journey to the last ward where his patient was, Soka ward. There he asked the same question to the nurse on duty.

The nurse said there was no significant change in Mr Herman's therapy plan. At the moment, the person is undergoing physiotherapy.

Since there was nothing else James could do, James decided to go back to the counsellor's room instead. He excused the Nurse and as before he said he would be back with Miss Reny later.
