Amy led Carlos through the Texas Medical Center. The county's two trauma facilities were located in the center, as well as institutions specializing in every imaginable aspect of health care, including care for children, cancer patients, heart care, organ transplantation, terminal illness, mental health, and even wellness and prevention.
All 42 of the Texas Medical Center's member institutions are not-for-profit. These institutions include 13 renowned hospitals and two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools, and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy, and virtually all health-related careers. It is where one of the first, and still the largest, air emergency service was created; a very successful inter-institutional transplant program was developed; and more heart surgeries are performed here than anywhere else in the world.
Through all this, the duo made their way to the University of Texas Medical School--Houston. Through the building they went and into the basement, past the morgues to a small back room with the ominous label of BIOHAZARD on its door.
Amy led him through this to the laboratory in back where all the hospital samples were kept. A few technicians were gathered around tables doing their work. She walked up to one of them, a handsome young Indian man who looked like he was still in school.
"Shashi," she spoke up with a smile of welcome. "This is Dr. Carlos Munguia, a collegue of mine at Ben Taub. He's a first year resident."
The technican nodded, unable to offer his hands since they were incased in gloves. "How-do ya do, Dr. Munguia."
