Mainly focuses on the MRU and some7
2 months later-MRU Base
"Morning," Jo called, as she walked through the door and saw the two doctors that have recently finished their training until Mike got back on his feet.
Mike was still there, doing the paperwork and the meetings. And helping Jo with training the two new ones, but he didn't go out on rescues until they can find a donor kidney for him.
"Morning," Mike replied, looking up from the stack of paperwork he was completing.
"Mornin," Adam said, as he was a replacement doctor at the moment, he had made the switch temporarily after himself and Charlotte started dating.
"Did you complete yesterdays reports?" Jo yelled from the change rooms as she changed into her uniform and grabbed her jacket.
"Yeah I did, Mike has them." He replied, turning back to talk to Nicholas "Nick" Marcos, the doctor that replaced Steve.
"Great," she said, sitting down at one of the computers and taking half of the stack that was sitting on Mike's desk before he could protest.
"What are you doing?" Mike asked, looking at her with a confused look on his face.
"Helping you," she simply replied, not turning to look at him.
"Huh, I heard from Steve. They're coming back to the city." Mike said, as Jo turned to face him as he spoke.
"Are they coming back to work here at All Saints?" She asked, leaning back in her chair as a smile graced her face.
"From what I've heard, yes." He said, as Operations came over the radio.
Operations to MRU, do you copy?
"Copy Operations,what have you got?" Jo asked, pressing the button and then releasing it.
Car accident, 2 occupants. Medical unknown. Rescue on scene.
"Copy that. Come on boys, grab your stuff. Nick, your turn to drive, don't tell Steve I let you though." She said, grabbing her medikits and throwing the 4WD's keys to the nervous looking doctor.
On scene
"What have we got?" Jo said, taking charge of the scene as she grabbed a medikit and walked towards the on scene paramedics.
"Male and female. Both trapped. Male is alert and responsive, female unconcious. We had to intubate." The paramedic said as Jo knelt down next to the female driver.
"Nick, Adam. Take the male passenger. And be careful, I smell fuel." She said, looking up at her two co-workers before returning her focus onto the woman in front of her.
"Ma'am, can you hear me?" Jo said, rubbing the woman's sternum with her knuckles to try and rouse her.
"Sir, can you tell us where it hurts?" Adam asked, tending to the male passenger.
"Yea-ah. It-really-hurts," he said in between sharp breaths of air he was trying to get into his lungs.
"Sir, I need you to calm down for me. I want you to focus on your breathing. Breathe with me...in...out." Adam said, looking the man in the eye and breathing with him as his breaths evened out. "Good, now can you tell me what your name is and your wife's?"
"Dayle and Meriah." The man replied, relaxing as much as he could now that he could breath properly.
"Dayle, can you tell me where it hurts?" He asked, as Nick placed an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose.
"Stomach," he replied, as Adam lifted his shirt and started pressing on his abdomen.
"Jo, how long until Rescue can get him out?" He asked, looking over at his work partner.
"They can start now, is he stable?" She asked, looking up from where she was hanging another bag of fluid.
"Stable as I can get him." He replied, backing off as Rescue got in their with the Jaws of Life.
"Nick, get in the back and monitor him, Adam I need your help around here. I need you to keep her neck still while Rescue cuts off her door," Jo said, as Nick got into the back seat and Adam walked around and got into the back as Rescue got in and did their job.
An hour later-ED
"Mathieson!" Frank yelled, as the team walked towards after filling out the ED's medical forms that they required to fill in after every call.
"Yeah?" She said, looking up at him as he walked over to them.
"The wife, she didn't make it." He said simply, before walking off in the direction of his office while yelling orders to his staff.
"Great," she muttered, dumping the forms on Adam and walking off towards the stairwell to go upstairs to the MRU base.
"Is she okay?" Nick asked, not knowing Jo's temperament, and how she doesn't like being asked how she is.
"Rule number 1, never ask if Jo is okay after a bad call. Rule 2, treat Jo like the independent woman she claims to be. Rule 3, treat Jo like the badass paramedic she is." Adam said, as they got the lift to go upstairs.
Upstairs
"Hey, long time no see," Steve said, as Jo walked through the doors and dumped her medikit on one of the chairs.
"Hey," she smiled, walking over to him and hugging him tightly.
"Gee wow, Jo Mathieson has turned into a hugger. What have you done Mike?" Steve joked, as she punched him in the arm before going to sit down and restock the kits.
"Absolutely nothing, so are you coming back to the MRU?" Mike asked, wanting his doctor back on his team. All Mike wanted was his original team back together.
"If you will have me back?" He asked, looking at him with a hopeful expression on his face.
"What do you think Jo?" He asked, looking over at the paramedic as the boys walked through the door.
"I don't know if I could stand looking at his ugly mug?" she joked, as he shot her a look before looking back at Mike.
"Of course you can, it would be great to have you back. And I'm sure Adam is practically dying to be back and working with Frank again," Mike said, as they all laughed like old times.
"How is Gabby doing?" Jo asked, referring to Gabrielle's pregnancy that they finally announced at the end of Von's going away party 2 months earlier.
"Great, morning sickness is easing off slowly but she's great. She is taking her Head of Nurse job back in the ED." Steve explained, as Frank got off the lift and walked in without knocking.
"By all means Frank, come on in." Mike muttered leaning back in his chair as the other four laughed.
"Shut it Vlasek, Taylor great to have you back. I hope Jaegar won't be turning up to work throwing up all the time." He said, turning to face the doctor.
"You will have to take it up with her Frank," Steve said, as the radio came to life again.
Operations to MRU, do you copy?
"Copy operations, what have you got for us?" Jo said, getting to it before Steve could.
Two injured in State Forest, exact location unknown. Rescue on sight, chopper on route to you now
"Copy that operations, we'll be ready." Jo said, as the boys picked up their newly stocked kits headed towards the elevator.
"Radio in what you've got when you find them." Frank said, as they elevator doors closed behind them.
"So when do you think I can have my doctor back?" Mike asked, turning to look at Steve as he leaned back in his chair.
"Whenever you want," he replied, as Frank took a seat in one of the vacated spots.
"It would be great to have my ED doctor back." Frank said, putting his ten cents worth in.
3 hours later
"How did it go?" Mike asked, as his paramedic and doctors walked in drenching wet, cold and weary.
"We lost another patient today, " Jo said, walking to the change rooms to change as it was the end of their shift.
"I'll see you guys later," Adam and Nick said, as they left as they had gotten changed downstairs.
"See you tomorrow Rossi, downstairs." Frank said, looking at his ED doctor.
"Got it." He said, finally leaving to go home and see Charlotte who was at home with her son.
"You okay?" Steve asked, as Jo walked out of the change rooms dressed to go home as she sat down and started filling out the paperwork she needed to.
"Yeah, fine." She replied, not looking up as she wrote what happened on their last call.
"Ok, well I will see you guys tomorrow. Have a goodnight." Steve said, leaving through the door and walked towards the elevators.
"See you tomorrow," Jo said, standing up and gathering her things and walking out the door before Mike could respond.
He sat there and thought, what would tomorrow bring?
