Cal walked into the hospital to see his little sister with her lips planted firmly on her boyfriends. He made a gagging noise as he walked past them only for Lexi to slap him playfully on the shoulder and continue to kiss Ryan. It had been months since the pair had started going out. Months since Cal crashed his car and broke his leg. He still walked with a slight limp. He continued into the ED. He saw his brother flirting with Honey as she made him a brew. As soon as he had his coffee, Ethan kissed Honey and walked over to join Cal. "Good Morning!" He chirped. "Is it?" Cal said blearily. "It is, I have my Honey bee and we are going out to dinner tonight." Ethan responded. "Yay, another night on my own!" Cal said sarcastically taking a file and walking towards a cubicle.
"Hi, I'm Doctor Knight, but you can call me Cal" he said as he opened the curtain. "Hi, I'm Sarah." Sat on the bed was a young brunette thirty year old. "Ok, Sarah, what brings you here today?" Cal said smiling politely. "Well, I had a fall at work and I suspect that I have broken my left radius." She said brandishing her left arm for the young doctor to examine. He was taken aback by her medical knowledge. "What line of work are you in?" Cal said examining her slender arm. He nudged it slightly. He smiled apologetically as she winced. "Sorry, hurts a bit. I'm an air ambulance rescue worker." She looked Cal in the eyes gauging his reaction. "Wow, that must be exciting. Anyway, I think that your arm is broken, we will need an X-ray to confirm it. I'll get that sorted for you and I'll send someone in to give you some pain relief. Also I need to know if there was any way you could have hit your head when you fell?" He grabbed the file and stood up. "Um yeah, I kind of fell in the office and hit my head on the table. I can't see how bad it is, but I didn't lose consciousness at all." She smiled embarrassed. "Ok, let me take a quick look," he shone his pen torch in her eyes and then took a look at the back of her head. "Ok, you have a nasty laceration back here, but I'll stitch that up for you." He said leaving the cubicle. He walked over to the nurses station. "Can I have a suture kit, and an X-ray ordered for cubicle four. I would also like some morphine." He said to Robyn who hastily headed off to meet Cal's requirements. She appeared a few moments later with the suture kit and medication. "Cubicle four, yeah? I'll do it!" She offered. "It's ok, I'll go, the patient trusts me" he explained before disappearing into the cubicle equipment in hand. "Ok, I'm just going to give you the morphine and then stitch up your head." He explained. He noticed his patient was shaking like a leaf. "You ok?" He asked. "Yeah, not a big fan of needles" she admitted. "That's ok, my brother, he's a doctor here too, he's aichmophobic, meaning he has a fear of sharp objects. You'll be fine, trust me!" He said. He noticed her wince a little. "My arms throbbing a lot." She said noticing that Cal was looking at her. "Ok, just relax it a little and put the ice pack back on it." He said, "so what's the funniest thing you've seen whilst on the job?" He asked. "Don't get me started," she giggled. "There was this one guy, he out camping and he saw a spider and he called us to come and rescue him. We went out to the call only to find it was a addy long legs." Whilst she was giggling, Cal prepared the syringe, she flinched slightly as the needle went in, but didn't stop her anecdote. "Ok, I'm all done" Cal smiled. He put the used needle in the sharps bin. He changed his gloves over and walked to the back of the bed. He pulled over a side table and prepped the suture kit. He brushed her hair to the side and drew up a syringe of local anaesthetic. He placed a firm hand on the top of her head. "Is there anyone who can come and get you, when you are discharged? A friend? A husband? A boyfriend? A colleague?" He subtly slipped the second and third choices in to the question. "Nope, unfortunately I'm single and my parents are in Singapore on a business trip. I might be able to get a hold of my brother. He's at work now but he'll be on his lunch break in ten minutes, I was actually supposed to be meeting up with him." She explained. "Ok, just as long as someone comes to get you, with head trauma patients we can't discharge them unless they have someone who can monitor them for 24 hours." Cal injected the anaesthetic into her scalp. "Ow, that stings a bit." Sarah gasped. "Yeah, sorry about that, I'll try and be as gentle as I can but this basically blocks the nerves and receptors so it hurts more, but the good news is. You won't feel the next part." He grinned. "I'm going to have to keep going but if it gets too much, let me know and we can take a break." He proffered. Sarah nodded and Cal continued. She gritted her teeth slightly and gripped the sheets in her clenched fists. "You're doing really well" he murmured. "Ok, we'll take a small break, that's halfway, I still need to do the other half." Cal smiled grimly. He noticed her grey blue eyes were shining back at him. "So Cal, why did you decided to become a doctor?" Sarah asked. "Thrill of the split second decisions, I guess and saving the world, one person at a time!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Which ones your brother?" She said. Cal drew back the curtain, "That one there, the on with the glasses and the blond hair" he said pointing at Ethan. "His name is Ethan Hardy." Cal said. "Hardy, and Knight, why the different surnames?" She asked. "I didn't get on with our dad so I took our mothers maiden name," Cal said. "No big deal. A lot of people don't think Ethan and I are related." Cal smiled. "I get that all the time with my brother, he has nice brown hair and these big grey eyes, but he's super tall and I'm well, look at me I'm small" she said giving him a crooked smile. "Ok let's continue." Cal said moving behind the bed again. He position his hand on her head once again and continued the injection process. Once he was finished he stitched up her head and placed both needles in the sharps bin and threw his soiled gloves in the bin. "Ok, your head is fine, I'm not going to dress it because it would just be pointless. I've cleaned the wound and stitched it closed, in two weeks the stitches will need to come out, go to your GP or you can come back here..." He was cut off by Max pulling the curtain back. "Your chariot awaits." Max said with a flash of his brilliant smile. Cal helped Sarah off the bed and into the chair. When Max pushed her away, Cal jogged over to the staffroom he grabbed his rucksack and his brother and took them to the nearest bathroom. "Caleb, what on earth are we doing in the gents?" Ethan said puzzled by his brothers excitement. "Nibbles, I think I'm in love!" Ethan groaned.
