Start of a new day of a new life. Babies being born and loved ones mourn the ones that have suddenly passed. Blood and guts everywhere in the O.R, patients close to death in the I.C.U, This is in fact a hospital. A hospital in New Jersey, a Hospital called Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, the amazing team of Dr. House which is worldwide known and gets to deal with the un-dealt. Here I walk through the automatic doors watching as they opened slowly, I walked myself in shaking the snow from my clothes before entering the hospital fully. Today was my first day of work, and I managed to come into contact with Dr. House and come face to face with him in a half hour interview last week where I managed to help him diagnose a patient with a heart defect. My name is Dr. Kelly Charlton. Im twenty three years old and have been practicing medicine for over seven years now. Im at the top of my league and now having one of the most amazing jobs in the world. Looking around I walked past the clinic area where dozens of sick and un-sick people roamed around wanting to be seen by a doctor that will fall for their little show. I smiled lightly towards people passing me as I got to the lifts, going to press the button but something stopping my way as a wooden stick touched the button first, I looked down at it followed it up to where a hand was holding it. Obviously a walking stick. My eyes trailed up the arm to the man's face.
"Dr. House, I thought you didn't come in to work until eleven" I stated smiling lightly and he looked at me raising an eyebrow.
"So…what time is it?" House asked me I pulled my sleeve up and looked at my watch.
"It's ten to eight" I replied back at him the grin on my face, his eyes widened a little and he leaned against his cane.
"Damn it…" House mumbled turning around "Tell Chase to tell Wilson he's in for a war" House added before looking at me twisting his face slightly. "Actually…don't bother, I'll come surprise everyone" He added a slight smirk coming to his face. Within seconds it was gone again, as if he was afraid to be seen smiling. The elevator doors opened and we both stepped in, this time I managed to press the button to the third floor where houses office was and where we would manage to clear up diagnosis with patients and discuss the cases.
As myself and House come to a stop in the elevator, house started limping his way out of the small space with me on his trail beside him." Plus it's not like you know who Chase is anyway… You'll know very soon" House stated not even looking at me as he spoke, He carried on towards his office passing the door and walking into a room beside it which appeared to be attached to his office. "Good morning little elves of mine, Kangaroo boy, Black man and the one with the nose, Meet your new colleague Dr. Kelly Charlton." House stated out loud pointing to each of the people as he said their clearly offensive names, but that's one thing with house, always expect the unexpected.
"Great to finally meet you Dr. Charlton" the one House called the black man stated standing up holding out his hand. "Im Dr. Eric Foreman" He added glaring at House slightly as I shook his hand. He seemed to be one of the serious types but one that's strong enough to not take Houses comments as a threat. Next stood up the Kangaroo boy.
"Dr. Robert Chase, nice to meet you Dr. Charlton" He stated, the clear Australian accent coming from his mouth, I smiled nodding my head shaking his hand. I now understand why House called him Kangaroo boy. The one with the nose stood next as both Foreman and chase sat down, he stuck his hand out and smiled.
"Dr. Chris Taub" He stated and I smiled lightly nodding my head for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
"OKAY!" House stated loudly as he came into the room from his office, apparently he had taken off his outdoor coat, scarf and put his bag near his desk. He was holding a rather large red and white tennis ball. "Now that you have all met eachother I'd like to know what case we will be doing today… Taub, what have you got?" house asked as myself and Taub sat down in seats, I was sitting between Foreman and chase as House started speaking. Taub looked down at the case in front of him looking at the details before looking back up at House.
"A twenty year old woman with paralysis with no sign of spinal fracture" Taub stated looking up at house seeing the plain bored look on his face.
"Boring, Foreman, what you got? And if it's that fifty year old man that had a lung default since birth I don't want to hear about it he's about to die, I don't want to deal with someone that should have died years ago" house stated and Foreman rolled his eyes slightly shutting the case folder he was about to read from. " Chase, give me something to work with" House stated looking up at the ceiling, I glanced at chase and then the woman that had walked into the room.
"Morning guys… House what are you doing in so early…Its not even ten yet" the woman stated and he nodded his head.
"I know! Which reminds me I need to go see Wilson." House stated grabbing his cane and limping out of the room stopping at the glass wall tapping on it lightly with his cane grabbing all our attention. "Take that case from the lady and get to work, Foreman write on the whiteboard symptoms of the patient, ill be back in five" House yelled through the glass wall making me bite my lip to keep from laughing, Chase shook his head and took the case from the woman's hand. House smiled for a second before turning to a serious face once again and walked on past the room we were in turning a corner.
"Where has Dr. House went?" I asked glancing around the room, Foreman and Chase both standing up, Foreman grabbing the black board marker Chase looking at the patients file.
"He's went to see Dr. Wilson, don't worry you'll get used to his random outbursts and pranks" Taub stated leaning back in his chair I nodded my head lightly as Chase went over some of the details of the patient.
"Seven year old boy with hallucinations, no sign of brain problems, heart problems or anything else abnormal… why did you have this kid's case Lilith?" Chase stated and asked turning to the woman now standing beside him. The lady around my age went onto her tip toes and kissed Chase on the cheek wrapping her arms around him and he wrapped his around her. They were clearly seeing eachother… Or were VERY close friends.
"It's a case Cuddy handed to me, but I couldn't find what's wrong with him so I've given the case to you guys" She stated and smiled she looked over at me and held her hand out "Sorry, My name is Lilith Devereux, im the head in the psychiatristdepartment. Its nice to meet you Dr…." She started while shaking my hand I smiled and nodded yet again.
"Dr. Kelly Charlton, very nice to meet you" I replied and she smiled I pulled my hand back gently and she turned to Chase kissing on the lips gently before looking at her pager that was beeping.
"Well gotta go, one of my patients went on another rage, see you later" She stated before rushing out of the room and towards her department upstairs. I looked between the three guys I could now call my colleagues.
"Okay, we better get something written down before house gets back in here" Chase stated chuckling lightly; He looked around then checked the file. "I'll go get some more copies of this file for you guys, meantime think of something that could cause hallucinations" Chase added and Foreman pulled the lid from the pen he was holding and looked at me and Taub.
"Uh… Drugs and alcohol" Taub stated out randomly and I raised an eyebrow.
"In a seven year old?" I asked and Forman grinned lightly
"He could have been spiked" Taub replied defensively and I laughed nodding my head.
"Okay okay, chill" I stated a small smirk on my face as Foreman wrote down drugs and alcohol on the board. "Erm, epilepsy could have caused it… EEG could confirm… He could have been shown out in toxins…" I added and Foreman nodded his head writing epilepsy down and Toxins under it. Just that second house come back limping into the room tilting his head in surprise.
"Im actually surprised you listen to me" He stated and we all smiled for a moment before House looked around. "Drugs and alcohol in a seven year old?" House asked looking between myself, Taub and foreman, which we both pointed towards Taub. "Right that explains it. Where's Auzzie boy?" He asked and just then Chase walked back through the door with multiple copies of the child's medical folder. "Man it's like I don't know you guys anymore" He stated wiping a fake tear from his eye making me chuckle lightly. Chase passed the files out to us all and I opened it up reading the child's medical history. "Okay so with what you've got on the board, go do a CCT on his brain for tumours and a EEG for epilepsy… And check his house for toxins" House stated we all nodded out heads lightly getting up out of our seats and heading for the door. "Dr. Charlton stay for a moment" House ordered I nodded my head as the guys raised an eyebrow before heading off to do the work.
