Stuck in you

Rachel had not expected Sheila to contact her again.

Sheila was not as emotional as she had been before. Perhaps, going through this difficult time had changed her.

"Dr. Rachel, I want to ask you about my sister one more time."

Leaning back on the car hood, Rachel closed her eyes, wondering why she was so determined.

"I already told you everything I know." Her throat was so dry that she could barely speak.

Sheila was prepared this time. But, she did not immediately respond. There was silence at the other end of the phone.

A car honked somewhere in the background for ten seconds before fading. "May I ask about my sister's prescription?" Sheila asked. "Did you know about Dr. Kevin prescribing the wrong medicine? You never even told me that! Why would you say you already told me everything?"

Rachel was taken aback. She did not know how Sheila had found out.

There were too many people in the hospital. Anyone could have told her.

Rachel answered very cautiously, "Kevin didn't prescribe the wrong medicine. We just had an argument over one of the medicines."

Rachel was not telling a lie nor covering up for Kevin.

Kevin had turned a deaf ear when she had asked him to use the imported medicine. But, it was the direct cause to the death of the patient.

The delay in taking action had eventually cost the patient her life.

It was simply a medical accident. The doctor in charge should not be punished based on this event alone.

However, Rachel was regretful that she hadn't insisted that Kevin should change the medicine.

Perhaps the patient could not have made it.

Rachel now explained that she wasn't the patient's attending doctor,

so she was unaware of the patient's condition after the operation.

Rachel still believed that the medicine was not the main cause of death,

though she didn't see the complete treatment record of the patient.

Despite the fact that the executive had asked them to tell what they knew to the patient's family, Rachel suspected that he could've hidden something quite easily if he wanted to.

Hence, if Sheila had wanted to investigate her sister's death, she could only have done so by asking for the treatment record or through a complete body check.
