[There's a brief flash of chrome, linoleum and the blue cotton sleeve of scrubs, before video is swapping out for audio only.
But there's a constant background sizzle, chatter and the clink of plates and coffee cups that's still telling of his location]
And it's back to debating birthing ethics over short stacks and omlettes... (which they must see the obvious irony in, but irony has never stopped our staff from tipping well at The Skyline, or from ordering fried chicken eggs over-easy off the griddle.) Our waitress in return is a dear. She keeps the press out of back booths.
(If you've seen the newsfeeds today, you can guess what they're nosing around here for.)
What's bothersome is how the news presents these personal ordeals, demonizing the doctors who really do have the best of intentions. Our job is never easy- and although I can't really speak on the maternity ward's behalf, they are called the best pre-and-post natal care unit in the city with due reason.
But speaking for the hospital as a whole, there's been a lot of rumored flap about how this is the first sign of Skye Medical's inevitable annexation by SERO Hospital. Which I can assure you all is ludicrous conspiracy talk. I heard one news reporter asking an orderly if this transfer was a death knell for our neutral operations-
And that is the audacious sort of assumption that would have our chief administrator, Dr. Pyke, frothing at the mouth.
The intrusive public interest surrounding one expectant mother has upset normative hospital operations to such a degree that this was a necessary move. It was not a kowtow to SERO's medical superiority, as one of our nurses seems to have been grossly misquoted. Hospital politics and mother's wishes and a half-dozen talk-show hosts and aspiring gossip collumnists trying to elbow their way upstairs daily- yes, those are all very real factors, and a burden on our facility.
But please, don't let this circus keep any of you from our services. As a Health Care provider, Skye Medical Center remains top notch, the most accessible clinic in the city for those without private insurance policy, and as far as newcomer interests go- I can assure you I will continue to look out for them to the very best of my ability.
[Private, but perhaps not quite encrypted enough to evade a particular sharp young hacker by intention.]
Shiroe's been notably remote lately, and I do miss our mondays. I wonder if there's something he's not telling me about his Hillsdale grades, or if there's something troubling going on in that household.
