It’s enough for him to lose his faith in humanity, repeatedly, vigorously, but Arthur wouldn’t have continued in this line of work had he relinquished every drop of faith, but it’s often dangling by a thread. Nothing that a cup of tea can’t fix, anyway, but he’ll be lucky if he’ll squeeze a brew break in today. He’s glimpsed briefly into the emergency room earlier this morning and it did not look promising. Not that it ever does, Arthur can count the number of quiet days he’s had in this vocation on a single hand and have fingers to spare but one doesn’t go into emergency nursing with the expectation to have leisurely days.
Arthur is hopeful that there won’t be any cases of frisky masturbation sessions that became out of hand, and utterly humiliating, because he’s not in the mood for another closeted alpha, adventurous beta or emboldened omega, sliding a candle or wine bottle or even a vibrator too far up their nethers. Too many times he has had to witness such an act and it never ceases to amaze him—and cause him to ponder how humanity have survived for the time they have.
It’s only been a year since Arthur had completed his advanced training and he is now qualified as an emergency nurse practitioner. He holds his own consultations, which has transpired to be dealing with all the cases that are too complicated for nurses below his station, but not urgent enough for the doctors, ergo, Arthur finds his day is consumed with a great many cases that simply don’t warrant a trip to the emergency room, or are just plain ridiculous.
So, far his morning has consisted of removing a pin from the sole of an elderly woman’s foot that she had accidentally stepped on during a home repair of a pair of trousers—he’d heard the suspenseful tale in great detail—he’s seen to a little omega girl suffering from an asthma attack, an alpha who had attempted to prepare himself a bacon sandwich and severely scalded his hand in the process and an allergic reaction in a beta who had taken a large bite of a chocolate, apparently not realising it had contained nuts.
All in a day’s work, he sighs internally.
