[justify] Today was not the day. I was not ready to be having to deal with a patient right now. I needed to focus, but it was impossible with what I've been having to deal with lately. Of course today of all days I had to figure out what she was doing to me behind my back. And of course it had to be him.
My wife had been seeing another doctor in the hospital behind my back for the past month. Dr. Horan. It was only when I caught them in the on call room together. It was the most horrifying and heartbreaking thing I had ever witnessed. Until today with the biggest emergency I had seen in a while.
"Dr. Styles to the ICU, Dr. Styles to the ICU." A nurse said over the intercom to the whole hospital. I sighed and set down my coffee I had in my hand from the lounge on the banister in front of the front desk of the dermatology wing where I was paged to before. From my wife. Who had cheated on me.
I hurried myself off to the stairs since it would be faster to get down to the ICU than the elevator. I could tell it was an emergency. I needed to get down there before something bad happened. My white coat trailed behind me as I rushed down the stairs to get to this page. I just hoped it wouldn't be too painful for the patient. I hated to see people in pain. That's why I fixed them.
I burst through the doors to the Intensive Care Unit and made my way over to where everyone was crowding around a man who was lying on the bed. He was conscious and looked frantic as people pushed and prodded on him and looked in his eyes with a flashlight and all sorts of other things. You knew it was bad when the chief of surgery was there looking over the patient frantically.
I hurried over to the patient and looked him over for a minute. He seemed to be in a lot of pain, loosing consciousness quick, and had a little bit of a distended belly. Oh no.
"Is he..?" I asked one of the doctors beside me, Dr. Payne. Ironic name, but he was one of the best, He worked in General Surgery.
"One of his kidneys has shut down from the shock and we aren't sure if we can get it back up and running or if he needs a transplant. Lots of glass in the arms and chest, so we paged plastics. Malik isn't here yet, though. Is he pregnant? Yes. He was conscious enough to tell us he is four months along." Dr. Payne said as he stepped back to let me have some room.
"Someone get me an ultrasound. Quickly, people!" I yelled over the chaos, and felt around his small tummy and listened to it on the stethoscope.
"Is he a John Doe? What do we know about him?" I asked around me, hoping someone would answer and fast. I needed to talk to him while he was still awake. I had a feeling the shock was going to get to him and soon. I needed to know some information.
Someone handed me his chart, and I saw his name on there and handed it back. "Louis? Louis, hey, I need you to stay with me, okay? Do you know anything about the baby? Any problems with the pregnancy so far I should be worried about before we check it out?" I ask and take his hand to hold to hopefully calm him down. He seemed to be extremely stressed and he needed to calm down before he hurt himself any further or the baby.[/justify]
Plot:
So the plot is basically Louis comes into the hospital for an emergency (probably a car wreck but if you want to do something different that's fine too). He is pregnant and alone and doesn't have anyone who can be there for him, so he gets attached to his doctor, Harry. Harry also starts to fall for him as well, and then we can take it from there. Just continue off the first post, please!
