Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 – Beneath the Surgical Lights

The hospital came alive long before sunrise, and so did Yugh. 🌄

By the time the city was still half-asleep, he was already walking through the sterile corridors, his white coat moving in quick, purposeful strides. The faint scent of disinfectant clung to the air, familiar and grounding. For Yugh, this place was not just a workplace, it was a battlefield where every decision mattered.

His day began with patient rounds. Charts were reviewed, reports studied, and quiet reassurances given to anxious families waiting outside wards. His voice remained calm, steady, even when the cases were complex. Inside, his mind worked relentlessly, calculating risks, planning procedures, preparing for what lay ahead.📑

Soon after, the call came from the operating theater.

Inside the surgical room, time lost its meaning. Bright lights flooded the space, casting sharp shadows as Yugh stood at the center, gloved hands steady, eyes focused. The rhythmic beeping of monitors blended with short, precise instructions. There was no room for hesitation here; only skill, discipline, and trust in years of training. 💉

Hours passed unnoticed as one surgery flowed into another. His body grew tired, but his concentration never wavered. A single mistake could change a life forever, and that weight rested silently on his shoulders.

Between operations, there were only brief moments to rest. A hurried sip of coffee, a glance at his phone left unanswered, then back again to the sterile silence of the theater. Emergencies arrived without warning, stretching his schedule further, pulling him deeper into responsibility.

As evening approached, exhaustion settled into his bones. Yet when he finally stepped out of the operating room, removing his mask, there was a quiet satisfaction in his eyes. Lives had been saved. Pain had been eased. That was enough. 🌬

The hospital lights glowed softly behind him as he prepared for the next case, unaware that while he battled tirelessly inside these walls, the world outside continued to wait for his presence, his words, and the man behind the surgeon. 🌋
