The clock reached the 11:00 mark, Izzie and Preston met each other's eyes and then parted ways. Nobody was too surprised to see that Dr.Alex Karev was late...AGAIN! Izzie grabbed a chart and observed it, Meredith Grey came over to her.
"What do you got?" Meredith asked eagerly.
"Uh...New patient. Peter Scottsville, has had nine heart surgeries in 14 years. Considering, he's 18...a fourth of his life. He was in a car wreck...he can hardly talk to anyone. Or so rumor has it" Izzie explained
"Rumor has it. Never believe a rumor until you see for yourself...and besides that's not your patient. Some screw-up nurse got the charts in a mess" Meredith grumbled.
"Who's patient is he?" Izzie asked, while still glaring at the chart.
"I'll give you one guess...Karev" Meredith said with a roll of the eyes.
Alex Karev came jogging into the ER, happy as a clam. Preston Burke walked over to him, grabbing him by his coat before he could get away.
"Strike three, boy. Late again AS always...but this time six hours." Burke cried.
"My shift wasn't suppose to start until 9:00" Alex said assuringly.
"Try 5:00 in the AM..." Burke reminded.
Alex finally realized, he took a look in his pocket mirror and then went over to collect his charts. The first one was Peter Scotsville. A patient who might not to be able to change his arrogance, but would change the way he looked at his family.
