I came out of this story hating all of the characters. AND WHAT FREAKING HOSPITAL IS IN A RENTED BUILDING!!!! Obviously the writer has no clue about how hospitals work. Also, Mark can sue for wrongful termination.
This was a good one. I think the mom's reaction to everything was spot on. I would prefer the in-laws to let me know how they feel about me from jumpstreet instead of being phoney. Even the I told you so from the mom is dead on. If you don't think so shame on you, because as far as I know everyone likes to be proven right
I would not expect my spouse who works days to wake up at 3:30 AM to come get me from my job.... especially if it’s not the norm. I would take a cab home.
If the writer wanted a character to have cancer that’s curable they should have picked a less insidious cancer with a better cure rate. The time frame between stage 1 & 4 of pancreatic cancer can be as little as 1 year, and about the only thing chemo can do for stage 3 & 4 is slow the progression, there is currently no cure. The only thing that will help is early detection. That being said, I just wish there was some research before the stories are done.
Chemo is rough on the patient. 2 parents and a sibling went through chemo. All 3 were very sick from it. Many divorced Dr's work together on same hospital
If he chased skirts before he dated you, he’ll more than likely chase skirts after he thinks he’s got you installed. It's "not a problem" yet because the cement hasn’t dried and you can still go somewhere. His spots won’t start showing till installment’s complete. 2:00
I know sometimes life is not fair. She could have just put them on the other side of the ward or something and she felt like that he was a bad person. She didn't make herself look. No difference at the end😢
I worked as a hospital cleaner in theatre and in my experience a lot of male surgeons are are amongst some of the cleanest in surgery and the dirtiest everywhere else in the hospital. They just leave a trail of destruction behind them. 😂
I'm kind of confused about this one. At the beginning of the story the mother said that her daughter is the CEO of the hospital. If that's so, is it common for the CEO of a hospital to be in surgery? And, what kind of promotion is she looking for? She's the CEO
10,000 a month after taxes ? Hell , RNs in the United States earn as much . CNPs make double that . And the OP is a director of a hospital ? Where in some Third World Country ? A Hospital Director makes about 400,000 a year.
I’m not liking the ex wife much in this one. She couldn’t be an adult and work with her ex? Instead had to force him out? Very bitter and mixing personal and business life.
Okay, she became a petty B. She herself admitted that he was a great doctor but she didn't feel comfortable working around her ex-husband. That's no reason to let him go and yes he could have sued her for a wrongful termination. Also, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't his new wife sue the hospital that treated her mom after her mom said she didn't want to be treated? Doctors know they can't treat patients without their consent. He, being a doctor himself, would know all of this
Usually I like the cheating spouse getting their dues, but it sounded like Wrongful termination because of personal involvement & not because of the husband's performance... Like others, I didn't understand the hospital being moved to a rented property...
More patience at the clinic? Where did the clinic come in? Again, she's a CEO of a hospital, correct? Also, I comment as I listen to the story so there will be a few comments for me. Just a BTW
I think Mark’s firing was simply out of spite. There was no reason for him to lose his position just because his ex-wife didn’t want him around. His flip-flopping on his pregnant new wife was reprehensible. Obviously she admitted he was a good doctor, though. I really didn’t feel much sympathy for any of the characters in this one.
None the characters in this story inspire sympathy. Why would she expect someone who works days come get her at 3:30am? And what hospital SCHEDULES surgery at 4am? (Not talking about emergencies here)
It depends on the procedure and the circumstances of a surgery is scheduled for a time that is not normally used. Complicated procedures can take up to 18 to 20 hours, consisting of multiple teams of specialists before being completed.
Could have been 20 mns shorter.... Even at 1.75 speed it is too long so I skipped the long useless blah, blah, blah. Specifically, the mother, such an annoying women.
Aren't we supposed to LIKE her mom?
She's so aggressive and abrasive
Thank you! Cancer is no excuse to be hurting her arm.
Not sure how I feel about her mom in this. Cancer aside the way she reacted to the divorce irritated me.
Mark make your own damned meals. She has to look after her mum, her mum's health takes priority over everything.
Why would anyone expect a mother in law to buy her son in law a new car?
There are so many areas that are in desperate need of a doctor. It might not be as prestigious, but very rewarding and filling a need.

Well said!!!!
I didn't like any of them either. No single person can own a hospital. Hospitals are bought and owned not rented.
@@glenystranter6423Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville was built and owned by Dr Reddy.
Also disliked all the characters... there's no feeling of vindication
@@LizVerbatimI sort of liked the mom until she reacted that way.

Well the mom's not exactly a peach either

Late diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is very common. There usually aren’t any symptoms until it’s already advanced.
She should've listened to her mother.. her mom saw right through Mark.. she just refused to listen or see...
Many of us have found that out the hard way
@judyjohnson9610 Yeah, if happens to the best of us
I really hope this it two stories. One of my favourite things about this channel is the short stories.
Nah it's a single story.
Most single stories go for about an hour nowadays.
Seriously the cost of a cleaner once a week/fortnight is always cheaper then family disputes.
Mom was defo based on someone's real mom; I've had conversations just like these with the women in my family. Total tsunderes 😂

Well the insidious cancer is why the male character thinks that mom is going to die.
I went through chemo. The mother's reaction was spot on. After my first round, I knew I was going to die.
But the way she treated the daughter at some points was off putting

So no one has ever heard of Uber Eats?
Hire a housekeeper and a chef. You can afford it no?

How would Mark feel of he and Hannah switched places?
Oh, would you look at that!
The survival rate for pancreatic cancer is VERY low. The fact she was stage 3…must have been a miracle.

Why wouldn’t he just move somewhere new a be a doctor there? I think her mother understood how a divorce might affect their reputation.

He was cheating with his ex-girlfriend and asked his wife to quit as a doctor, to be his maide (cooking and cleaning and do just as he says)
Okay, she became a petty B. She herself admitted that he was a great doctor but she didn't feel comfortable working around her ex-husband. That's no reason to let him go and yes he could have sued her for a wrongful termination.

Also, is it common for the CEO to be working late nights?
