Sadie POV
I returned to my normal schedule at the hospital, feeling a mix of relief and anticipation. The reason behind my newfound sense of stability was the return of Dr. Harrison's secretary, Janet. She had been on extended leave, and her absence had caused quite a bit of disarray in the doctor's office.
As Dr. Harrison's secretary, Janet was the backbone of the operation. She managed appointments, handled patient records, and ensured the doctor's day ran smoothly. With her away, I had stepped in to help with some of the administrative tasks, and it had been quite challenging to juggle my usual duties and the additional responsibilities.
But now, Janet was back, and the office was buzzing with efficiency once again. I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and respect for her dedication and hard work. She made everything seem effortless, even during the most chaotic moments.
As I entered Dr. Harrison's office one morning, I was greeted by Janet's warm smile.
 "Good morning, Sadie! It's so good to have you back in your usual role. You did an excellent job holding down the fort while I was away," she said appreciatively.
I returned the smile, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders. "Thank you, Janet. It's great to see you back too. Things were a bit hectic, but we managed," I replied, genuinely relieved to have her back.
Janet chuckled softly, her eyes gleaming with understanding. "Oh, I'm sure you handled everything perfectly. But I must admit, it's nice to have everything back to its usual rhythm," she said, organizing the papers on her desk with practiced efficiency.
As I settled into my own tasks, I couldn't help but reflect on the time when Janet was absent. It had given me a glimpse of the responsibility and dedication required to keep a busy office running smoothly. I admired her professionalism and admired how she effortlessly balanced her work and kindness towards patients and colleagues alike.
Throughout the morning, Janet and I worked seamlessly together, and the chaos that had become commonplace during her absence was replaced with a sense of order and calm. She was a true asset to Dr. Harrison's team, and her return marked the restoration of a well-oiled machine.
Janet and I developed a friendly camaraderie. We share small talk during our lunch break and even exchange anecdotes about our personal lives. She had a way of making the office feel like a second family, and I appreciated her genuine interest in the well-being of everyone around her.
She is easy to be with.
In a way, Janet's return not only brought back stability to the office but also added a sense of warmth and familiarity. I valued her presence not just for the organizational prowess she possessed but for the sense of community she fostered among us. 
While i was checking my patients, I reflected on the significance of Janet's role in Dr. Harrison's office, I realized that the backbone of any successful endeavor is often made up of those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. She might not be the doctor, but her impact on the team and the patients was undeniable. With Janet by our side, the hospital felt like a more welcoming place, a place where compassion and efficiency coexisted harmoniously. And as I continued to work alongside her, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone who truly understood the art of balance and dedication.
Everyone has an important role to play.
Before this day ends, i still have one patient to attend, Athena, she got into a car accident together with her friends, according to her the driver was drunk that's why.
As I entered Athena's hospital room, I greeted her with a warm smile. "Hello, Athena. I'm Sadie, one of the nurses on duty. How are you feeling today?"
Athena looked up at me, her face still bearing signs of the accident's impact. "Hi, Sadie. I've been better, but I'm grateful to be alive," she replied, her voice tinged with a mix of pain and relief.
"I'm glad to hear that you're still with us," I said, pulling up a chair to sit by her bedside. "Tell me, how are you doing after the accident? Do you have any pain or discomfort?"
Athena nodded, wincing slightly as she shifted in her hospital bed. "Yeah, I have some pain in my ribs and my leg. The doctors said I have a few fractures, but they said I should heal with time and rest."
I nodded sympathetically, taking note of her injuries. "Rest is essential for your recovery. We'll make sure you're comfortable and provide you with the necessary care."
As I tended to Athena's needs, she began to open up about the accident. "It was a terrifying experience," she said, her voice quivering with emotion.  "We were having a great time, celebrating my friend's birthday, but then the driver had too much to drink. I tried to stop him, but he insisted he was fine to drive."
Listening to her recount the events of that fateful night, my heart went out to her and her friends who had also been affected by the accident. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that," I said, offering her a comforting hand. "It's unfortunate that such accidents can be prevented if people make responsible choices."
Athena nodded solemnly. "Yeah, it's been tough. My friends are recovering too, but it's going to take time for all of us to heal, physically and emotionally."
"I can imagine," I said, my empathy for her growing. "But remember, you're not alone in this journey. Your friends and family are here for you, and so are the medical staff taking care of you."
She gave me a weak smile, appreciating the reassurance. "Thank you, Sadie. I guess I just needed to talk about it."
"I'm here to listen," I replied gently. "Sometimes talking about our experiences can help us process the emotions and start the healing process."
As I continued attending to Athena's needs, we chatted about lighter topics, trying to distract her from the pain and the memories that weighed on her mind. I wanted her to feel supported and cared for during her recovery.
As my duty finally came to an end, I bid Athena goodbye, promising to check on her the next day. Leaving the hospital, I couldn't help but reflect on the impact that such accidents had on people's lives. As a nurse, it was my duty to provide not just medical care, but also emotional support to those who needed it most. And in the case of Athena and her friends, I was determined to do everything in my power to aid in their healing process and be there for them every step of the way.
When i was on my way back to the nurse station, Doc Harrison called me.
"Sadie? can i talk to you for a moment?" he asked
"yes doc, what is this all about?" i asked.
"uhm, tommorrow is sunday, i was wondering if you have something else to do?" he asked, that made me think too.
"uhm, i guess none? why?" i asked
"Can we eat outside tomorrow? don't worry it's on me" he said
I chuckled at Dr. Harrison's attempt at formality. Despite his professional demeanor, I had known him long enough to see through it. He was always a caring and considerate person, and this invitation to eat out together on a Sunday warmed my heart.
"What's with the formality? Of course," I replied, unable to hide the smile on my face.
He chuckled too, a hint of embarrassment crossing his features. "Well, I just wanted to make sure you didn't have any prior plans. It would be nice to catch up outside of the hospital, you know, without the constant beeping of machines in the background," he said, looking genuinely hopeful.
I nodded in agreement, appreciating the thought behind his invitation. "You're right. A change of scenery would be lovely. It's a deal, Dr. Harrison," I said playfully, using his formal title just to tease him.
"alright, see you then." we bid our goodbyes and parted our ways.
