Raine's Anatomy

Disclaimer: Don't own ToS or Grey's Anatomy.

A/N: And here is the first chapter of Raine's Anatomy. I am going to work on another one of my stories, IF You Want to Bring Him Back later. Maybe later today, or later tomorrow, or whenever. But now here is…

Raine's Anatomy

Procedure One: Why?

Sometimes we don't have any idea how we got here, or why we're here right now. That's the way I feel right now. Why am I here, and how? No memory of it, but I see people who I know, and they readily know me.

We're at somewhere called "Earth". How original, naming a world after the ground they walk on. Yet these people have a much more advanced technology, things I haven't seen before, so you'd think they'd have a much more stellar name than "Earth".

But now, here I am, holding a scalpel, and just getting the idea of what the patient had diagnosed to him. He's already under the knife and is ready to…

"What am I treating him for again?" Raine asked one of the nurses in the room.

"Inflammation of the pancreas. We have to make sure the fluid doesn't cause it to burst, and get into the bloodstream, as some of his veins are split open." The nurse nodded and awaited any other questions.

"How did that happen?"

"The man had a heart attack for some unknown reason, but his heart later resumed function, though much too quickly, which caused the veins…"

"To rupture and explode. The heart attack…give me some reasons. Now."

"Cholesterol ratings are normal, he doesn't take any drugs, and it's also known he has heart attacks like this before."

"You…" Raine pointed at an intern, "Find me any research of the patient's past operations. Do it fast, or it'll be your ass on this table."

"What should we do now, though?" a nurse asked.

"We're going to suture those veins first, so he doesn't die." Raine went through the procedure. People didn't use healing magic here, or any other sort of magic either. She continued, "We'll move on to the pancreas next, and we'll do some later examinations of the--"

The once-Professor was interrupted by a long beep. He was going through…

"Cardiac Arrest!" Raine grabbed the electrically-charged squares. She rubbed them together for a minute, to hold the charge. She slammed them down on the patient's open chest, "CLEAR!"

Nothing.

She began to sweat, "Charge again!" Once they were ready to shock again, Raine pressed hardly against the man's chest.

Still nothing.

"Dammit. Once more, now!" The squares were charged again, shocking the man but restoring the heartbeat.

"Thank God we brought the defibrillators in when we did."

"It was too close…"

Raine sutured the veins quickly and easily, not realizing how fast she was going, never losing the amazement of her own newly-found medical skills.

'Strange.' She thought, 'It seems that my healing arts potential has been formed into the things I am doing right now. But why does it feel…like they are still here?'

The woman removed the liquid the pancreas was oozing with the drain, and then cut it open. Oh, easy. Just a capillary burst. Oh, wait. Okay, two. No big deal. Hold…six…seven…eight.

"They're all beginning to burst! Give me the string to suture. Now!"

Another nurse tossed her the string and Raine began to stitch. It was amazing. She knew exactly what to do, but it was still such a rush! How long was this taking any--oh, she was done. No more adrenaline. Raine began to suture up her incisions.

"What should we do now?" a silent nurse asked.

"Someone needs to stay here and watch his heart. I'll have to stay as well, as interns only know from books; if anything truly bad happens, I'll be here to stop it."

"I can't…" the nurse who threw the strings to Raine said, "My children need to be taken care of, and my husband is leaving on a business trip early in the morning tomorrow."

"I'll stay!" a red-haired nurse yelled cheerfully, "Everyone knows I've got the best know-how of heart surgeries here anyway!"

The rest of the people nodded their heads, save Raine, who asked, "So you'll stay? Miss…?"

"Redjewel. Rubyi Redjewel." She then gave a shocked look at the Professor, who returned one.

They knew each other.

"Is something wrong?" a timid nurse asked.

"No. I was thinking about a small operation that could be done, but it would have turned out badly." Raine was a good liar when she needed to be.

"Yeah, and it's cold in here." Rubyi said, "It surprised me when we stopped the operation."

"Okay…"

The medical staff filed out of the operating room and Raine and Rubyi exited to a different spot.

"Rubyi Redjewel." The Professor knew this hyperactive young girl form the trial where Sheena was prosecuted for Zelos Wilder's death, but things had changed since then…

"How are you here, too?" Rubyi asked, "I thought I was the only one who was teleported here…"

"Where are we, anyways?" Raine asked, full of wonder of this new world.

"Well, I've learned that they made me an intern, a low medical grunt basically. But it seems you're an attending. Which means you're a higher-class doctor. And well, the only thing I really know is that I've rented a room at the Crescent Moon Inn, room 205. And I know how to get there, but when of think why I know that, my head hurts. So I can't really think of why…but I do know this is the Lione Reeve Hospital, and there's a great Italian Ice store down the street!"

Raine too the last part away from her mind but stored the otherwise valuable information, "Anything else?"

"People don't use Gald here. Or staves, so they might think you walk with a cane, maybe…but anyways, people use this paper with ugly people on it called, 'Dollars' and they have numbers on them, representing how much they're worth. There's also coins worth a fourth, a tenth, a twentieth, and a hundredth of one dollar. Don't know why the hell they did that…but I remember it like this…"

She pulled out a piece of paper, whose contents were something alike to this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Remember this Weird Money

A Piece of Paper by Rubyi Redjewel

Penny…………..a hundredth of a dollar……..1 cent.

Nickel…………..a twentieth of a dollar…wait, did I spell twentieth right?………5 cents.

Dime……………a tenth of a dollar…………10 cents

Quarter…………a fourth of a cent…………..25 cents.

A dollar…………one dollar. Doesn't buy much but is good spending on Italian Ice!…

A dollar is equal to:

100 pennies

10 dimes

20 nickels

4 quarters

I make…(Rubyi had covered this with her thumb, so it was unreadable)…so I should be well off!

Oh yeah, there are taxes, so always carry a few extra dollars because of that. Stupid.

DON'T LOSE THIS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I see…" Raine began to try to remember all this…complicated. Surgeries were so easy, but money was so hard to remember! What the hell is a penny? And who calls Gald "dimes"!

"I was frustrated by this, too…but we both have the day off tomorrow, so I'll help you out. I made a few copies, but I'm sure everyone here knows how to count money right. Did that sound good?" She handed Raine a copy.

"It sounded fine. Thank you…" The once-Professor took another sheet of wrinkled paper and stuffed it in her pocket.

"I hope Mr. Anderson will be alright…" Rubyi muttered.

"The man with the heart? He'll be fine when they get back the research…"

"You shouldn't refer to people that way. Patients have names, you know."

"Even so…he'll be alright, and I think that--"

"Miss Sage!" A man holding some papers came closer to the two women.

"Ah, hello, Vid." Rubyi lifted a hand to wave.

"Hello, Miss Redjewel. But anyways…Miss Sage, we've found out why the patient keeps going into cardiac arrest. He has a weak pulmonary vein that has been pumping some alveoli into his heart."

"What! Alveoli are in his heart! How!"

"It somehow created a high pressure suction that managed to get some in there. So it must have caused those capillaries to burst--"

"Both of you come with me. NOW."

Raine and the two following her rushed into the room.

"What do we do?" Rubyi asked, "An air sac is inside his heart!"

"Well calm down for a first." Raine suggested, "We'll just need to use the CT to find the alveoli in his heart, I'll excise it, clean it, then reattach it to the stem where it fell off. But before we do anything…Rubyi, start working on the pancreas. My guess is that those capillaries will burst very soon. You've got enough skill, make sure you can handle this. Vid, is it? Go get the necessary supplies and some other interns and nurses to help Mr…Mr…"

"Anderson."

"Exactly. Now, get to it!"

Raine began her incision on the heart…

A/N: The first chapter is up. Better tell me what you think. As for the people looking forward to If You Want To Bring Him Back…don't worry, it'll be up soon. I just had to finally start this. And as for people who didn't know some of these terms, here's

Rubyi: Here's Rubyi. Okay…here it is:

Alveoli--air sacs located in the lung, How it got sucked up by a vein we don't know.

MRI--lets you look at patient's body

CT-- used for cardiothoracic surgery (Heart surgery)

Interns and Attending--- Okay, this the food chain of the hospital.

Lowest Highest

Nurses

(people who help during surgery. A lot more scrutinized than they should be.)

Interns(People like me. We're on our way to becoming residents, then attendings.)

Residents(Bosses of the interns. They choose what surgeries we're on.)

Attendings(bosses of residents. Play a big role in surgery).

Chief of Staff (Head honcho of hospital. Responsible for what goes on all over it.)

Rubyi: Anyways, here's a short bio on me

Rubyi Redjewel

Age: The author forgets(Rubyi: …ass.)

Gender: Female

Weapon: Knife

Description: Skilled at surgery. Should not be an intern, since she is just as skilled as Raine, but probably not…well…wherever these people are. In The Court Case, the story where Sheena was trialed for killing Zelos, Rubyi Redjewel was a lawyer, and had six sisters. She fought with a knife, and sometimes threw a scalpel into the fray. She is known for her hyperactive and witty demeanor, and may burst through in the oddest of ways. She once jumped through a window as an entrance. It is unknown how she got here, but it is known she loves Italian Ice and lives in an inn. She covered how much she gets paid, because as an attending, Raine makes more money than her, and so naturally, she was embarrassed. She shows great potential in the Lione Reeve Hospital.

Rubyi: And there's that.

Lione Reeve Hospital--The name of the Hospital. Were you paying attention at all?

Electric Squares(defibrillators)--things used to shock the heart back into pumping. It's amazing Mr. Anderson survived with that vein and how the defibrillators had that amount of potential for a heart like his.

A/N: Anyways…there's some of that. I hate doing medical research for this story. Though, more things are valuable than others, like how an MRI works…but read…and REVIEW! I'll never know what you think unless you type it! Plus, I like reading them. No flaming, because it's annoying and I'll use them to burn you.

Rubyi: wow. Not very funny.

A/N: And we'll find out more next chapter. Read on. R&R!
