Chapter 1 A new addiction/First day
It was a gloomy day, just stopped raining. A black cab pulled up outside of Holby City hospital
A man in his 20's got out of the black cab. He had blue glasses on, he wore a red jacket with dark blue doctor's scrubs on. He had a shoulder bag resting on his right shoulder
The man payed the cab driver, the cab drove off. He stood still for a second, closed his eyes and took a deep inhaled breath the exhaled
"It's show time" the man said
He went to cross the road until he saw a young school girl in her school uniform but also holding her coat in her hand staggering up near where he was walking
"Are you ok miss" asked the man
"Noo" the young girl groaned
The young girl collapsed to the ground she dropped her coat
Just before she collapsed she vomited on the mans red jacket
The man fell to the ground with her just in time to support her head so she didn't smash her head on the ground
"Woah miss, miss are you ok" the man expressed
The man put his arms under her and picked her up off the floor and her coat then ran towards the hospital's reception
"CAN I HAVE SOME HELP HERE PLEASE" shouted the man
Essie and Fletch ran towards the young teenage girl and the man with a trolley
"We'll take it from here mate" said Fletch
"No need, I'm the new F1" said the man
"Oh ok good" added Fletch
The man lifted the girl onto the trolley but before rushing the teen upstairs to AAU Fletch pulled out his torch pen and shined the light into the girls' eyes
"Her pupils are dilated" examined Fletch
The 3 medical professionals rushed her to AAU
Just as they got her to the ward the teenage girl's eyes rolled to the back of her head then she was fitting Dr Hargraves threw his vomit covered red jacket and his shoulder bag on the nearest work surface
Essie had to hold the girls arms down to try and make her relax while still fitting
The girl fitted for over 5 minutes then suddenly stopped
Fletch tried to put an IV line in the girls left arm to hook her up to monitors
"I'm Foundation 1 Doctor Dwayne Hargraves by the way " the man explained
"I'm Staff Nurse Fletcher and this is Staff Nurse Harrison" Fletch also explained
The monitor started to bleep
"She's going into Cardiac Arrest" Dr Hargraves showed concern
Fletch quickly got the diphibulator and cut open the girls top so he could place the gel pads on her chest
"I'm sorry for this darling" apologised Fletch as he had to cut her top
The new doctor Hargraves started to carry out chest compressions on the girls chest
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" Dr Hargraves said
"Charge to 90" Fletch added
"Clear" Essie said
Dr Hargraves carried on with the chest compressions
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" Dr Hargraves repeated
"No output" Essie also said
"Charge to 100" Fletch said
"Clear" Essie repeated
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, come on I'm not losing a patient on my first day" said Dr Hargraves
"Clear" Fletch yet again repeated
There was a heart rate line bleeping on the screen that Essie was looking at
"We have an output" Essie said
"Phew, I can feel a pulse" Dr Hargraves also said feeling for a pulse on the girls arm
After a couple of minutes the girl turned her head and vomited once again
"Leave me" the girl groaned whilst still vomiting
"It's ok darling your in hospital" Essie said holding the teen's head
The teen turned her head again her eyes were searching around the room looking up
"The girl smells of alcohol" Fletch added turning to Dr Hargraves
Essie took a blood test and sent the bloody sample up to the fast track lab
"What's your name" asked Dr Hargraves
The teenage ignored him
"Come on we need to know your name and how much you have drank" questioned Fletch
The teenage girl ignored Fletch too
"Where's, where's my coat" asked the girl
"Here it is miss" Dr Hargraves said handing the teen her coat
She put her hand in her coat and searched it looking for her purse but it hell out of her coat pocket onto the floor
Dr Hargraves picked it up to see a school I.D card in the side sleeve of the purse
"Your name's Beyonce Andrews" said Dr Hargraves
"Yes, yes that's me I just want to be alone" expressed Beyonce
Dr Hargraves and Fletch left the teen alone for a few minutes so they could give her time to recover
After giving the teen some space Dr Hargraves went back to check on Beyonce
"Is there anyone that we could call, as your only 15 we will need to inform your parent or guardian" questioned Dr Hargraves
"Ermm no my mum is at work, she wouldn't be bothered anyway" Beyonce answered
"That can't be true, your mum will be worried about you" Dr Hargraves told the teen
Essie came back with Beyonce's blood results
"The blood sample we took from you sweetie confirms that you have a high alcohol in take level in your blood stream" Essie confirmed
Beyonce looked scared
"Can I confirm that your last name is Andrews" Essie asked
"Errmmm yes my name is Beyonce Andrews" Beyonce replied
Fletch comes to check on the teen
"How's the patient doing" Fletch asked looking at the information clipboard at the bottom of the bed
"She's doing fine" Essie added
"Andrews, Andrews I've heard that name before, isn't there a Staff Nurse Andrews downstairs in E.D" Fletch confusingly said
"Errmm yes, Staff Nurse Linda Andrews is my sister" Beyonce said
The 3 medical professionals looked at each other
"Miss Andrews would you like one of us to inform your sister Staff Nurse Andrews" Dr Hargraves suggested
"Errmm yes please" Beyonce said in a frightened way
"Ok I'll go, I'll find my way to the E.D as I'm new here so this will give me the chance to find my way around" Dr Hargraves suggested
Essie went to get Beyonce some water so she could sober up a bit while Dr Hargraves left AAU into the corridors and followed the signs down to the E.D
Meanwhile down in the E.D Linda was just about to go on her break, Jacob was accompanying Connie with a patient and Charlie was at the nurses station filling out the admissions and discharges forms on computer to get up to date
Dr Hargraves finally found his way to the E.D he saw Charlie at the nurses station and walked towards him
"Hello there I'm new around here I'm the new F1 Dr Hargraves, by any chance is there a Staff Nurse by the name Linda Andrews work here" asked Dr Hargraves
"Yes, I'm Charlie Fairhead, there is a Staff Nurse Linda Andrews your in luck she's just gone on her break, she's in the staff room over there" Charlie said pointing to where the staff room is
"Thank you Charlie" Dr Hargraves added
The new F1 Doctor when to the staff room and knocked on the door
"Come in" said Linda
Dr Hargraves walked in
"Hi I'm F1 Dr Hargraves, I'm new around her I'm from upstairs, I've been sent down to find Staff Nurse Linda Andrews" explained Dr Hargraves
"Yes that's me. What's happened, what can I help you with" asked Linda
"I have a young girl upstairs in AAU, her name is Beyonce Andrews she says your her sister" Dr Hargraves explained again
"Oh my god, yes that's my little sister what's happened to her" Linda asked
Both Linda and Dr Hargraves rushed upstairs to AAU to Beyonce
When they both reached AAU the phone rang Fletch ran over to the desk to answer the phone call it was Dr Zosia March from Darwin
"Hello this is Dr March from Darwin, I'm ringing around the wards as I am wondering if you have an F1 doctor on your ward" Zosia explained
"We have an F1 doctor yes, Doctor Hargraves" Fletch said
"Yes that's him, could you send him up please" Zosia asked
The phone call ended
"Dr Hargraves can I speak with you a second" asked Fletch
"Yes certainly" Dr Hargraves said
The new F1 doctor walked over to Staff Nurse Fletcher
"I have just received a phone call from Darwin informing me that you're supposed to be on Darwin not AAU" Fletch explained
"Oh yes that's the place I'm supposed to be, but I wanted to see out my first patient" Dr Hargraves said
"I see, thank you for all your help down here, we better let you get up to Darwin" Fletch said
"It's been my pleasure working with you Staff Nurse Fletcher, I will see you again" the F1 Doctor said then walking off to find the Darwin ward
Dr Hargraves went to go and pick up his vomit covered jack and his shoulder bag up then followed the signs to find Darwin
