Chasing Fate
It's a normal day at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, or as normal as it can get. Chase and Cameron are working in the ER for the day, as they are short on staff. Cameron is waiting on an 18 yr. old male to come in from on campus.
Cameron yells to Chase, "18 year old male respitory distress and abdominal pain, lower right quadrant!"
"Can you tell me your name, asks Chase.
(Australian accent) Its Jay, mother of god, can I get something for the pain!
Nurse, call the OR for a possible appendectomy!
"Hang in there bud, where almost there, Chase reassures him as they enter the elevator.
While in the elevator Jay's heart rate drops and he goes into anaphylactic shock.
Oh God he's going into anaphylaxis, give him epi, Cameron yells at Chase.
Come on Jay, hang in there mate, where almost there (wheeling him into the Operating room)
Jay is finally stable and goes into the OR for an appendectomy.
Okay Jay, count back from 100 for me, Chase tells him
100, 99, and 98 he gets as far as 97 and drifts off to sleep.
(1 ½ later-after surgery)
Cameron meets Chase outside his room, and Cameron has some news to tell Chase.
How's he doing? Chase asks Cam.
Surgery went well, he's in recovery (pause) Chase, I'm giving this patient to you.
Why?
Well he spent the last 3 years or so with your father, you tell me.
Huh? Wait….what? Chase asks inquisitively (as Cameron walks down the hall)
