"All I want"

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth my two front teeth

Chase's POV

Just when I happen to be in the clinic working that stupid corny song is playing. When I was I kid I used to make a Christmas wish list. Full of wishes that I knew would never come true. This year is just the same but right now my only wish is for that damn song to stop playing. As the song finally whines down a new patient enters.

He signs in and takes a seat. Chase notices his hand which is shaking. He asks the nurse for his chart and walks over to him.

"Sir" Chase said trying to suppress his Aussie accent. He hated sounding so foreign to patients. "I'm ready to see you come with me." The man got up and followed him into exam room 2.

"What's the matter today?"

"My back hurts. I-I hurt it last summer. It usually hurts but today is really bad." The man replies in a shaky voice.

"Are you on any medications?" Chase asks as he snaps on gloves and clicks his pen and begins to write.

"Yeah, just some naproxen but it flares up from time to time. My doctor usually just gives me ten of Demerol when it gets like this.

Chase finishes writing and realizes something. "Excuse me I have to go check on something."

"Okay"

Chase exits the room and begins to search for Cameron. He runs into her in a matter of minutes." Just the person I was looking for." Chase says. I need your help.

"Okay, what's up?"

"I think the patient in exam room two is looking for drugs"

"Are you sure?"

"He says he has back pain and takes naproxen for it but doctor gives him Demerol when it flares up but I have no record of him ever seeing a doctor or a back injury. He also has shaking hands, can't sit still, and talks shakily. Classic signs of early withdrawal."

"Call psych and make sure he doesn't escape."

"Will do."

Chase calls psych.

Chase – its doctor Chase I'm down in the clinic and I've got a patient with possibly drug addiction.

Psych doctor- We'll be down in a few.

Chase- Thanks bye.

Chase walks into exam room two.

"What's taking so long? If I just get the Demerol I'll be fine. I'm in pain."

"I understand Sir. But since I'm not your primary care doctor I need to run a few test before I can give it to you."

"Just hurry up I'm in a lot of pain."

"Okay, first I need to take your blood pressure."

"The man held out his hand as the nervous Chase strapped on the cuff. He couldn't do pointless test forever but psych said they be down soon and he was probably worried about nothing. But these cases always scared him. He told himself to just calm down.

"Open your mouth so I can take your temperature." He complies.

"Now kept it open while I swab it. We need to make sure you aren't sick with anything."

"My doctor has never done that. Chase took a deep breath. "We just need to check. It won't be much longer."

Chase quickly swabs his mouth and leaves saying he's bringing it straight to the lab.

As chase leaves he nearly runs into Cameron who was standing in the doorway.

"Are you okay?" Cameron asked noticing Chase's nervousness.

"Yeah I just get a little nervous around that kind of patient."

"Do you want me to takeover?"

"Yes, please." Chase says thankful to get away from him.

"Of course." Cameron says as she walks into the room a little worried about Chase's over reacting just a bit about this. But whatever everyone has those patients they can't stand.

"Hello, Mr. Redling." Cameron says reading his chart. "Dr. Chase had some business to take care of I'll be your doctor now. I'm Dr. Cameron I understand"

"Look up." Cameron obeys and instantly freezes at the sight of a gun barrel pointed at her face.

"Give me the meds or I'll shot you"
