The Central Hospital


In a nightclub, Tom celebrates his birthday with his friends. When they decide to leave the place, they drive drunk at full speed and collide against a wall that had a metal structure, which then falls and cuts off Tom's arm.

His friends realize that they are in front of the Central Hospital and run towards the emergency. Erick unconsciously picks up the arm of the pavement and also takes it with them.

Robert, the new intern, receives him and does everything possible to stop the bleeding but does not succeed, he asks the nurse to go to the chief doctor to help him. An old doctor with an amputated arm arrives, he helps Robert by guiding him, managing to stabilize Tom. When Robert goes to thank the old man, he is gone.

The nurse enters and informs him that the chief doctor is currently performing a surgery, but Robert tells her about the old man's visit. The nurse is astonished and tells him that that is impossible, but that there are rumors, that a ghost stalks the halls. Robert laughs at how ridiculous that sounds, but when he looks at the table, the arm is gone.
