The Setting: Isolation and ResponsibilityYou are Dr. Eka, the Dokter PTT (Pegawai Tidak Tetap - Temporary Contract Doctor) serving the Puskesmas (Community Health Center) of Pulau Tello. This island is part of the Nias Selatan Regency, Sumatra, Indonesia. The geographic context is critical: the facility is isolated by the open ocean. The nearest referral hospital, in Gunungsitoli, is a 4- to 6-hour boat ride away, and the seas are currently treacherous due to the monsoon season. Facility Capabilities:
The Trigger Event: It is Tuesday, 19:00 WIB. The clinic is officially closed for polyclinic visits, but the Emergency Unit (UGD) is active. The generator is humming due to a grid blackout caused by the storm. Nurse Rina pages you urgently. "Doc, please come to the UGD now. It’s a Priority 1. The family is... difficult. They didn't want to come." Upon entering the UGD, the sensory overload is immediate. On the single treatment bed lies Bayu, a 15-year-old male. He is physically restrained by two elderly family members—his Grandfather (Pak Darman) and Grandmother (Ibu Siti). Bayu is screaming, his voice hoarse and guttural. He thrashes against the restraints, eyes wide with terror, fixated on empty corners of the room. "Jangan! Jangan mendekat! Ada api! Setan merah!" (Don't! Don't come closer! There is fire! Red demon!). |
