Lihat lebih banyakJust as I was about to take the first bite of my sandwich my pager went off. "Damn it, wasn't even able to get in one bite this time". That's one thing about being an ER doctor even when you get a break you never really on your break. Quickly taking a big bite of my sandwich before wrapping it up and putting it back in the fridge before washing my hands and heading to the nurse's station. As I reached the desk, I waited for the head nurse Sandy to give me the rundown. Sandy was new to the position and was still getting the handle on things, even before she became head nurse, she was already acting like one. From bossing nurse's around to resolving employee conflicts, the difference was she had a lot more work to do and lots of paperwork. "What'd we got?" I asked. She responded to me after giving one of the nurse's orders "We got an incoming multi-victim car crash collision on a bridge, Paramedics reported sixteen victims. Four were fatal and were already deceased, and twelve were injured. Looking through the ER glancing at the rooms then back at her "How many available rooms do we have? She looked down at her chart with a worried look on her face. "Not enough, we have six rooms available and from the looks of it we won't have any rooms free anytime soon, none of the patients here are ready to be discharged yet."
"Alright" I nodded my head "those who can be moved, aren't badly injured, or are waiting for results would have to be moved upstairs, we need all the rooms we could spare. Can you also call up the surgery wing and let them know". The patients might've not been in front of me yet, but I knew some if not half would be needing surgery, six rooms weren't going to work even if most of the patients did have to get surgery, we still needed more room. She nodded her head in agreement before grabbing a few nurses and ordering them to start moving patients. I was about to start preparing for the incoming patients and make sure everything was on standby when my phone in my pocket started to buzz. Quickly taking it out and looking at the screen I saw it was my brother Sebastion. Most likely he didn't want anything like always. Deciding I would call him back later, I ignored it, letting it vibrate as I put it back in my pocket.Five minutes later the doors to the ER burst open, and the paramedics brought in the first patient. Still pushing the stretcher one of the paramedics began "We got a male mixed in his twenties, GCS 4 struck the dashboard, BP-ninety over fifty" he continued as we wheeled the patient to the first available room. Counting to three the paramedics, along with me and two nurses transferred the victim from the gurney to the hospital bed. Within less than two minutes after the first patient was brought in more and more paramedics came, bringing the remaining patients until there were no more to bring. The entire ER was full, even with some of the patients undergoing surgery. We were full to the point where we could no longer accept any more patients. By the time it started to dial down and clear out three hours had already passed. The patients that were sent upstairs earlier were almost all discharged, the last few patients that needed surgery were already on the next level and the patients that still remained in the ER were stable and doing good. Other than the four victims that died before they could get here, we had no casualties, all the patients survived, and considering what we see on a daily basis that was lucky. We could do everything, the best we can, and yet some patients don't make it.Finally able to take a break I checked my phone and saw that I had six missed calls and a voicemail from Sebastion and eight missed calls from an unknown number. I tried calling Sebastion back, but I got no answer only his voicemail, that's weird Sebastion always answers his phone. I called him back a few more times and still no answer, now I was getting worried. Right, when I was about to listen to his voicemail I was paged yet again. Stuck in my head worried about my little brother I didn't even realize it when I reached the nurse's station. Shaking my thoughts away ready to focus on the next patient "hey sandy, what do we got" Sandy looked at me with sad heartbreaking eyes, I swear I literally saw a teardrop on her cheek. "What's wrong," I asked concerned. Attempting to clear her throat but not entirely succeeding she spoke. "Malia" she began but stopped as if she couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. her voice was hoarse, and she used my first name, Sandy never uses anyone's first name unless it's extremely important. "Malia......I have some bad news" she began to tear up, wiping her eyes she continued "it's Sebastion" My entire body tensed up, and now I was more apprehensive than I was before. "What about my brother?" I asked impatiently "Sandy what about my brother," I asked again.Before she had the chance to answer the ER doors opened, revealing the two paramedics that brought the first patient in from the crash earlier. They slowly pushed in a gurney with the body covered, they looked defeated. I raced to the patient "What do we have?" I asked the paramedics. A man with short brown hair wearing and t-shirt and shorts came in shortly after the paramedics and from the looks of it, he went for a run. "Are you Dr. Malia Dawson?" he asked. Nodding my head "Yes I am, who are you, and how did you know my name" he looked down at the floor and then back at me "My name is Grandon Michaels and your brother told me.....he" I interrupted him before he could say anything else parading him with questions "Wait you know my brother? how? have you heard from him? is he okay?" Without saying a word, I knew what he was trying to say when I saw him glance at the body covered up on the gurney, they brought it. No... No..No..Noooooo. Hoping I was wrong I slowly uncovered the body. I could feel my heart break as the sheet was pulled off and saw nothing but my little brother lying there pale, losing my composure I leaned over my brother's dead body crying. His body was cold almost ice called which meant he's been dead for over an hour. I could feel my throat closing up as it burned, my eyes filled with tears until I wailed in screams, and my heart was broken completely and utterly broken.Malia“Lia,” I sighed as Mariah yelled my name from downstairs, “it’s time to take your medicine,” she continued. I yelled back “i already did I took them 20 minutes ago but thank you” she yelled back upstairs “okay your welcome” it’s been 2 weeks since I was released from the hospital, 2 weeks since I had no choice but to stay with my bestfriend due to my injuries and 2 weeks of me almost going crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mariah with all my heart, and I really appreciate her and all she’s done for me. The first couple of days when I came here were great, despite the situation, I was able to spend some long-overdue time with my best friend. It was a ladies night a sleepover every night we spend more time together than we had in a while due to our busy schedules but now it’s starting to feel smothering, it was as if Mariah had forgotten that I was still able to take care of myself she treated me like I was a child with a fever and it was beginning to be to much. It seemed like al
Malia……It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been in the hospital recovering and I was ready to get out of here technically I was able to get discharged last week but they had me stay on additional week to keep me under observation so they could monitor my progress a little more even though I had already informed them that I was fine. The lacerations on my face had healed a week ago, and the bullet that grazed me in the stomach was just a scar now. I was still feeling pain in my shoulder, of course, but the only thing that was preventing me from doing anything was the surgery. My surgical wounds would take some time to heal. Within the past few weeks, I’ve been visited by Mariah, Grandon, and my co-workers, who’ve become my firehouse family. Everyone was so worried, even the chief, who was as tough as a rock. Unfortunately, not all of them had visited me. The only ones I hadn’t seen yet were Danny and June, both of whom I’d last seen was the day of the incident. I know Danny stayed with me un
Malia.. I could hear the voices of the people closest to me almost all of them, I heard Mariah who was not only threatening me to wake up but begging and pleading through her cries it broke my heart because all I wanted to do I get up and hug her and tell her she didn’t need to worry that I was okay and that she wasn’t getting rid of me that easily but for some reason I couldn’t my body wouldn’t listen to what my mind was telling it to do. I was surprised when I heard Danny’s words, but his words not only touched me, but I felt sad, hopeful, and happy at his words I wasn’t sure if it was real or not but I was hoping that it was that his words were true and he meant every word of it. I wanted to wake up now more than ever. Even with their words, I still wasn’t able to wake up; it was as if I were in a dark, endless void, and all I could do was listen. There was darkness, but then suddenly images of the people in my life filled the darkness with everything I had gone through up to this
Danny….Just as the cops showed up, the chief briefed them on the events that had happened and what had led to them. In the middle of the briefing, all our attention turned to the hostage's house as the door opened. My mind was still filled with worry and anger, but now, I felt a hint of relief once I saw Dawson in the doorway. She had found a way to escape, but where was he? I asked myself as I stayed on alert, watching out for her. “Why was she just standing there? She should be moving, she should be running, why isn’t she moving? Is something wrong with her? Besides the obvious, of course. My eyes were glued onto her and only her, our eyes met she she gave me a warm smile, I’m guessing to let me know that she was alright, happy to be free, happy to see familiar faces and be safe, and that she managed to get away. When I saw her smile, that smile, I felt a bit of relief, but it quickly went away when I saw her look back with a worried expression on her face. Not long after, I saw a
Danny…… I wasn't sure why but I had a bad feeling about the call Pearson and Dawson went on, I couldn't get rid of it. After they left chief abruptly ended the meeting and ordered me to follow him to his office, so I could talk to him about my suspicions. Once we got to his office and I closed the door behind me the first thing that was said out his mouth was “Something doesn't feel right about that call Severide, it's suspect. How is it that they were the only ones called in for a BHE but we were not called in for backup? Something is off” he said worriedly as he sat on the edge of his desk. “I couldn't agree with you more chief, I thought the same thing I thought that I was the only one. We need to call dispatch and get to the bottom of this, I don't like it” I agreed with Chief. Chief nodded his head in agreement before grabbing his radio” Dispatch this is Chief Hayden battalion 23 can you provide details of a call that just came in for ambulance 27, they were called in for a BHE
Malia… As I get to work, it starts to sink in that in just a few minutes, whether I was ready or not, whether I liked it or not, I'm going to be seeing Danny. My mind instantly fills with questions, what’s going to happen with Danny? Will he ignore me? Will he pretend it didn’t happen when he finally does see me? Will he see me and turn the other way? Or will he come straight to me? Will he walk past me as if we're strangers? What? Leaving my car and walking towards the station, those very thoughts are suddenly taken over by the cold and something just as bad, hunger. Greeting everyone, I passed as I came in and went straight to the locker room to change into my work clothes and put the remaining things away in my locker I immediately made a beeline to the kitchen. If I didn’t get food or something in my system I might as well become king kong destroying cities, boats, ships and shit because I am not a fun person to be around when im like that. Luckily, I hadn’t seen Danny since I ha
