She handed him the next needle, and all was going well until a moment later when he ran out of thread. “Miss Jones, you realize this is a long wound, do you not? How am I supposed to stitch such a long wound with such a short piece of thread?”
“I was trying to avoid tangling, Doctor.”
“There are ways to avoid tangling while still giving me the length of thread I need. I suggest that you ask your instructors about this before our next surgery.”
“I will. Thank you, Doctor.” She threaded another needle, giving him twice as much length, and he bent his head back to his task.
Sophie was a competent nurse—she knew she was. The other doctors at St. Timothy’s and the doctors at Woman’s Hospital had nothing but praise for her. It was just this one particular doctor she could never seem to please, and she seemed to be assigned to him quite regularly. But it was of no consequence. She would complete her training, find a job working for a doctor who appreciated her talents, and leave Dr. Gregory and his impossible-to-please attitude far behind.
“Miss Jones! This thread is tangled. Would you please be so kind as to fix it?”
