Chapter 6 - The Temper 2

'Hmm… what is wrong with him? Looks like they got a toxic CEO.' she thought. She wonders how did it go inside the OR theatre.

She saw Head nurse Jing and Dr. Aaron came out of theatre one followed by Nurse Pete and Nurse Maggie. Did she hear them laughing? Yes, they are. "I can't believe it, I thought Dr. Jacob would be like his father. So serious, no emotion, you never know when he's angry or not." she heard Head Nurse Jing's high-pitched voice.

Back then when Chairman John Parker was in position, everyone is scared of him. He is a Cardiologist. He is a toxic doctor. It was so hard to please him.

"Oh no no no!. Dr. Jacob is different. He is the exact opposite of his father. He is jolly, friendly, easy-going and a playboy." She heard Dr. Aaron said. Well, at least she was right on the playboy part.

"But don't you dare mess with him or don't get into his nerves. His temper is worse than that of his father," warned Aaron.

Well, looks like she just witnessed that temper a while ago.

He felt his blood rising. He is so irritated. He clenched his fist while walking out of the Department of Surgery. By the looks on his face, you can see that he's in a bad mood. He reaches for his phone and called James. "Meet me at the lobby. We'll be having a surprise ocular."

James hurriedly meets him at the lobby. He saw Jacob, dark clouds around his face. What happened? He thought to himself. He was in a good mood earlier when they arrive. Did something happen at the Surgery? He dared not to ask. Not yet.

They started their ocular. Not everyone in the hospital knows that he is the CEO. So, everyone was surprised. He visited each department. Soon words spread throughout the hospital that the CEO is having a surprise ocular with his bad temper.

He scolded some of the staff that he finds annoying. He frowned as he passed by 2 nurses giggling in the corridor. He turned back at them and said. " You two! Don't you know that this is a hospital, not a mall? I don't want to hear any fuckin' noise in the corridor. You'll disturb the patients!" then he continued to walk away from them.

At one of the nurses' station. He saw a couple of doctors and nurses. They were panic-stricken when he saw him. They already heard the news about him scolding some of the staff. They greeted him in a chorus.

Jacob glared at them. "What are you doing here?" they each looked at each other. "Aren't you supposed to be with your patient? Damnit! I don't want to see people crowding the station! From now on I want more nurse-patient interaction, not nurse-nurse or nurse-doctor interaction! You are paid here to take care of your patients not your co-worker!"

Everyone rushed out of the station and went to their patients. There are two doctors who were shocked at the scene and then make an excuse to exit the station.

Soon the Director Manager meets them. "Dr. Parker. You should've told me that you are going to have a surprise ocular so that I could assist you." The hospital's Director Manager is a 55 years old short and chubby man with eyeglasses. He has been working at the CLP Hospital for over 30 years now. And just five years ago, he was promoted as the hospital's Director Manager.

Jacob eyed him. "You said it yourself. It's a surprise ocular. Would you still call it a surprise if I told you ahead of time?" he looked at him blankly.
