Take it away, Nana!
I’m
a trained nurse. A good one from what all my bosses and patients have told me.
I take pride in my work and love the medical profession.
It
drives me nuts when I’m being entertained by a medical show, movie, or book and
all of a sudden they get either the terminology or technique wrong. I proceed
to call one of my nurse or doctor friends to tell them what I read or saw. Of
course they become aghast and a huge discussion ensues.
I’ve
watched movies and shows where not a single nurse is present, not even a
nursing assistant. What? So this doctor strutting around in a lovely white coat
is going to do everything with the patient? Bedpan, bathing, education,
discharge, walking, giving medication, setting intravenous, the list is
interminable. Not in the real world they won’t.
My
point is that if you are going to write or create anything medical, get your
facts straight before presenting it. Ask someone in the medical profession. We
love answering questions.
With
that said, my medical romance, Midwife to Destiny, has just been released. I
put it in writing, here and now, that it is medically and romantically sound.
Remember it is set in South Africa and Ghana, but medicine is the same all
around the world.
Three
years later, Dr. Jason Lartey still can’t get Ora out of his mind or his heart.
After learning she never married, he takes a risk and moves to Ghana hoping to
rekindle what they started. His sudden appearance in Ora’s Emergency Department
sends sparks flying all over again.
They’re
in the same country, working in the same hospital, and together but distance
creeps between them. Can they make their destined love one for the ages?
Enjoy the following excerpt for Midwife to Destiny:
Ora focused on putting one foot in front of the other as if she were a one-year-old learning how to walk. After turning the corner and seeing the back of his head, she froze. She would know that head anywhere. He’d grown his hair out a little, but his adorable, Will Smith ears gave him away. Initiating the process of pivoting and sprinting out of the ED unnoticed sprang to mind when he turned around and his gaze caught hers.
The air became charged with tension and neither of them moved. Her heart threatened to pop out of her chest with the force of each beat. The nurses stood between them, looking back and forth as if they watched a tennis match. They didn’t bother to hide their expressions of curiosity.
They’d never seen Ora behave in such a manner. Not cool as a cucumber super nurse. Like herself, they kept looking at the new doctor just because of his tall, broad-shouldered, gorgeous stature. The past three years had matured him, adding a few lines around his eyes and the new feature of a goatee with a moustache changed his countenance a little. But otherwise, the same man she’d met three years ago, at least in the physical sense, stood before her.
After an eternity, Ora snapped back to attention. “Akwaaba, Dr. Lartey. Welcome to the ward.” Madam Professional stuck out her hand for a handshake.
Her words seemed to drag him out of his own stupor. “Uh….”
She had rendered the man speechless. Ora’s gracious nature—that’s what she blamed it on, anyway—took pity on him and she touched his shoulder. The contact sent sensual awareness through her and she recoiled her hand.“Hello, Aurora. Please forgive me. It’s just that I’m a little surprised to see you.”
“Not as much as I am,” she muttered, attempting to squash both the joy bubbling up inside of her at seeing him again and the overwhelming sadness of what she’d been missing for so long.
“Pardon me?” he asked.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s a surprise to me, too.” She tried to smile, but it came out contorted, as if she’d been able to have a painful, rocky bowel movement after being constipated for seven days.
