How They Met
Gotta get to... Damn it where is that hospital. The young man immediately started fumbling in his pockets to find the name of the hospital. Ah hah Princeton Plainsboro wait what state is that in... Oh yeah Princeton is in New Jersey. The young man had just gotten word that his father had just had a heart attack and was on call the previous 56 hours so he wasn't quite competant. His boss hated him because the patients liked the young man more so he was constantly being put on call for long lengths of time.
"Sir where would you like to go?" The young woman behind the counter asked the man as he was finally next in line.
"First flight to New Jersey." The man was bouncing on the balls of his feet visably stressed out of his mind. Not bothering to notice that the girl behind the counter was checking him out and liking what she saw.
"What class would you like sir?" She said cocking her head smiling trying to bring attention to her face when the guy was paying no attention at all to her.
"Doesn't matter just first flight out I can get on." Damn will you just get me some damn tickets. My dad is dying and I have to get there.
"Okay sir is this business or pleasure?" She asked batting her bright blue eyes.
"Neither dad sick gotta go." I don't have time for these stupid questions just take my I.D and money give me a ticket and let me be on my way.
"Oh I'm sorry sir my I have your I.D." The girl looked disappointed that the man currently wasn't in the mental state to flirt with her.
Thank God finally. The man thought as he quickly handed her his driver's license.
"All right-" She looked at the I.D and back up at the man. "Mr. Wilson here's your I.D. and the first flight to New Jersey leaves in one hour that gives you just enough time to go through baggage check. Here's your ticket." Wilson grabbed the ticket his hands shaking a little from the lack of sleep and the abundance of worry.
"Thank you miss." Wilson had decided it would take less time not to correct her that he was Dr. Wilson not Mr. Wilson. He then ran to the baggage check noticing his ticket was for business class. Since it's business class there won't be as many people in coach. I might even get some sleep if my nerves allow it. Damn I hope dad is okay.
"House you idiotic jackass." Cuddy yelled as a Dr. Gregory House walked into her office.
"Well now you just totally ruined my libido. Now you may never get a chance to sleep with me." House knew what she was yelling at about and he knew he deserved it. But he'd never admit it.
"House what did I say about calling the oncologists murderers!" Cuddy's eye was twitching trying to keep at least some composure.
"Oh come on Cuddy all their patients die I was just trying to calm the mood." House had called almost the entire oncology staff murderers at a hospital dinner. So now Cuddy found her staff of 10 oncologists down to two and they were on the verge of quitting from the workload and because of House.
"House you know how hard it is to find a decent oncologist due exactly to the fact their patients die. It is one of the most stressful fields in medicine there is." Cuddy was desperate trying to find more oncologists but there seemed to be a shortage of them.
"Well it's not my fault they are so damn sensitive."
"House one of my last two oncologists just tried to give me his resignation notice. WE HAVE NO MORE HEAD OF ONCOLOGY!" Cuddy lost her composure most of her doctors if they quit they quit because of House but never before had they been so short staffed.
"Well just find a couple of them and throw money at them. Why else would someone become an oncologist if not for the money."
"YOU UNSENSITIVE PRICK IF YOU DON'T FIND ME A GOOD ONCOLOGIST IN THREE DAYS YOU ARE FIRED!!!" Cuddy screamed pointing at the door. "NOW YOU SHOULD START LOOKING!!"
House was dumbfounded. Wow Cuddy might actually be serious about firing me this time.
"GET OUT OF MY OFFICE! NOW!" House immediately did just that. Wow she really must be pissed this isn't even her time of the month.
Yes seated in plane. Dad please hang on. Wilson thought, he debated even trying to sleep he knew he needed it but doubted his mind would let him drift into unconsciousness.
"Hi I'm Katie Winslow I'll be your single serving friend of this particular plane flight." A very cheerful looking blonde 20 something said as she sat down next to Wilson.
"You watch Fight Club." Wilson said a little ashamed of how fast he picked up the reference. He guessed that was just what lack of sleep did to a guy.
"Wow you watch that movie too." Katie was ecstatic that another human being picked up the reference.
"I've seen it a time or two." Wilson said debating whether or not he wanted the conversation to continue much longer.
"Awesome I'm sitting next to someone who is actually cool for once." She was really rather cute. But Wilson knew she was probably at least seven years his younger.
"I'm James Wilson."
"Well hello Jimmy." She said holding out her hand he shook it. "Just curious why are you headed to New Jersey." She cocked her head when she asked.
"To visit family. How about you?" Better not tell her my dad is sick or she might want to talk about that for two and a half hours.
"Awww so you aren't headed to colledge in Jersey like I am." She pouted James looked taken aback. "What you not the type. Cause you look like the colledge type. No offense." Katie thought she had offended James.
I still look like I belong in colledge. "Actually I already graduated." Wilson was a little confused he was 28 not 19 he didn't belong in colledge anymore.
"You have you some kind of genius or something cause you don't look old enough to of graduated." She raised an eyebrow at him. Wow I really look that young. That is so awesome looks like the flight won't be that bad.
"Actually I'm 28 so I've been out of colledge for a while." Remember never mention you are a doctor unless your at work or trying to impress someone cause then you will never hear the end of it.. Ever.
"Huh." Katie seemed to lose intrest in talking to a guy that much older than she was and Wilson welcomed the silence. She may have been nice to talk to but Wilson was still a tad to frazzled from his dad being in the hospital to be very talkative. He decided it wouldn't be a half bad idea to take a nap. It won't be a good nap but I don't want to be a zombie when I get to Jersey. Wilson then started to doze off.
"House how are you Mr. Personable going to convince an oncologist to work anywhere near you." Stacy had her hands on her hips pissed off at her idiotic boyfriend.
"They don't have to work here that long so I just have to pretend to be nice until they decide to take the job. It's a perfect plan." House was pleased with himself he had really pissed Cuddy off this time. "Besides I did her a favor her previous head of oncology was a moron. Kept misdiagnosing cancer and what patient needs that." House had a point Dr. Morrie did have a tendency to see elephants when it was really a mouse.
"House, do you know how few oncologists there are that are unemployed. The ones that had worked here have already found new jobs." For some strange reason it seemed as though oncologists were a now scarce comodity.
"Well we'll just have to really butcher the spelling of cardiologist when we introduce the guy to Cuddy." House smiled at Stacy.
"You are so going to lose your job."
"AHHHH! IS THERE A DOCTOR ON THE PLANE I THINK HE'S HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!" This was what Wilson woke up to. It took him a second to realize he wasn't dreaming and then he saw the man lying on the floor of the airplane. Wilson ran over to the man quickly took his pulse and quickly confirmed the screaming woman's guess.
"KID WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!" A man yelled as Wilson quickly started moving his hands on the guys chest in the way Doctors do when a man is having a heart attack.
"I'm a doctor I know what I'm doing." The guy looked surprised so did Katie since she was unaware he was a doctor.
"Someone grab the captain and see when we're landing." Wilson looked at the guy who had yelled at him he quickly nodded and ran to the cabin. Wilson had no clue how long he had been out. Please let us be landing soon.
The heart attack guy started to have trouble breathing. Wilson quickly formulated a plan, "Will one of you grab me one of those oxygen masks it will help him breathe."
"I will." Katie said going over to one of the overhead compartments and trying to bust it open. Finally managing to do it in what felt like forever. Wilson strapped it onto the man and the guy did start breathing better and calm him down. Since as Wilson remembered from Fight Club pure oxygen makes you high.
"The pilot says we are approaching are destination and should be there in around twenty minutes." The yelling man said as he came in followed by a flight attendant.
"Look everyone who isn't needed to be standing should go to their seats unless the doctor needs something, so they don't get in the way." The flight attendant said. It was obvious she had never been through anything like this before. Looks like I was asleep a lot longer than I had thought. But at least I have enough time to stabalize him before we have to take our seats.
Just so you know I honestly have no clue what they do when someone has a heart attack on a plane this is just a random guess. But their is a point to the man on the plane having a heart attack let me just say it leaves Wilson very confused.
