Chapter 352: Pressure
Though it might come as a shock to many people. Very few doctors actually wanted to be the ones in charge of treating patients who were high profile.
Dr Stephen Arlington belonged to the vast majority of medical professionals who did not enjoy treating high level patients. Things like ’doctor to the stars’ might have sounded good to say, and the pay was also astronomical. Especially if they decided to hire you privately.
But the negatives were just too much for most people. Not only would you have multiple people hovering over you. People with the ability to end your career with the snap of a finger if they wanted to.
The internal pressure was also something else. Medicine was stressful enough on a regular basis. It did not help matters knowing that the life of a well-loved celebrity, or of a president or an important diplomat depended on you.
That just increased the likelihood of mistakes. Which were the last things that a person needed in that situation. So when Dr Arlington had heard that Derek Haven, former CEO of Haven Group. Whose disappearance the news had been airing non-stop had been found.
He had been happy in a distant sort of way. The way people were when something good happened to a stranger. But then when he’d been told that Derek Haven was heading to their hospital. Dr Arlington would not lie. He had panicked a bit. Scared of the consequences of that, of all of the attention it would bring.
But now that he was finally working on Derek Haven, and the woman that he had been found with, who also happened to be his girlfriend, Emily Molson.
Stephen Arlington would not have been anywhere else. Pressure or not.
The case of Derek Haven and Emily Moulson was a fascinating one.
