As humans, we need enough strength to attend all of our patients, but on these condition, I think my body will collapse anytime soon for sleep deprivation, I excessively overworked every part of my body to aid every patients who needs us. I suffered from headache awhile ago so with my worried colleagues they let me took a break for about 10 minutes.

*thud*

Something dropped from my coat side pocket that caught my attention and noticed it's my late grandmother's gift when I graduated medicine, a colorful-made rosary. I smiled when the memories flooded my thoughts, I prayed everything will be alright and God will hear us out, our prayers I mean. My grandmother says "Always hold on to your faith, believe Him and remember to pray every single souls." It's my daily routine, suddenly tears fell through my eyes, I knew she's always with me even if I failed to saved her because I prioritized my patient, a premature baby boy, he's life was on the line, it's too risky for him so I need to attend his needs, I couldn't leave him but on the other hand, my late grandmother was also on the emergency room, she also needed me but I recalled the day when I graduated from medicine, her voice called for me.
