Darshan stared at the dilated pupil of the patient and ordered for the defibrillator as he watched Stephen frantically continuing CPR to the patient.
Holding the paddle Darshan asked Tulsi to set the alarm knob at 200 volts and induced the electric current into the patient by pressing the defibrillator pads on the cold body.
The body limped upwards and then fell back lifelessly on the bed,increasing the alarm knob Darshan let the pads to charge for thirty seconds and then gave the second shock to the body repeating the process once again but the body seemed to be in ALT DELETE mode as it fell back without any mercy back on the bed.
"Code called at 11:03."
Darshan declared the death time trudging his collar in desperation to get out from the death table sooner.
Stephen leaned towards the body in failing anguish of losing a patient,he knew it was his mistake not to follow the protocol.
"Wait for me in my cabin Dr Joshua." Darshan said in a gruffy voice as the very difficult part was not yet completed;giving the bad news to the guardian.
Giving one last look to the dead body Stephen went to change his dress code, as Darshan walked out to meet the family funnily hoping for an approachable interaction.

"Dr Stephen Joshua what were you thinking when you took the patient into the OT without a doctor on lead?"
Darshan shouted at the blunder Stephen had committed although anyhow the patient didn't have any great chances to breathe.
Stephen stared at the floor ashamed of his actions,words not fathoming his tongue made the situation atleast better because Darshan was the type of boss who didn't approve people giving him back answers.
"Do you even realise how big of a scandal you lead us into? An intern took in charge at RCSM! That's what the papers are going to print tomorrow!" Darshan continued shouting in agony of how to handle the press if something like that even releases,once or twice such a scandal did happen but the Viona was in PR back then so it was handled quite cheerfully.
"Do you think it's being a super hero to jump into action without prior knowledge to the consequences?"
Darshan ranted as the door to his cabin clicked open with Sejal entering the room with a paper bag filled with food.
"Cool down Dr Vyas,I think you need some food."
Sejal tried to ease the situation watching Stephen crawl into a puddle of guilt,because she has never seen this side of Darshan being such a strict man of values.
She only knew the Darshan who knows to quote his every moment of life,who can make even a dead body laugh,and to whom his family means the world,she has never seen Darshan as the doctor or more worse as the panel head.
"Stay out of this Dr Seghal." Darshan spoke to her in a very irritated tone and it hurt her listening him call her Sejal instead of his usual beautiful.
"Darshan you need to go fuck off. I will handle this." Sejal couldn't miss the hoarseness in the new voice entering the cabin,as Aryan gave a little tap on the back of Stephen walking up to where Darshan was standing.
Darshan rolled his eyes as Aryan plucked out a pen from the holder dangling around the table,settling on the chair he motioned Stephen to come and read the documents he has bought.
"I am sorry sir." Stephen spoke to no one in particular,taking the papers from Aryan he gave a little look at Sejal.
"Sorry my ass.I know Dr Stephen you want to prove your Dad that you are better than him,I know everybody hates that man but making your personal agenda as a professional scandal will kick your reputation out of this prestigious place. Understood?" Darshan stopped his ranting once he realised he was in need of some water,while Stephen gave a low nod.
