JD kept an eye on Dr. Cox even told him he should go home and rest. He tells him that just because he is sick by a small flu doesn't mean he should miss work. JD talked to Carla about what to do about Cox. Carla only answered him with, "Just leave it alone Bambi. If wanted help he would of asked for it."
JD remembering Carla and Cox have been good friends for a long time now realizes that JD might know Cox more then Carla does? He knew that Cox would not ask for help even when he needed it.
Right now they were in the break-room. Turk, JD, and, Cox; looking up at the screen. The news was on about a bi-plane crash in their city, two people injured from it, "Well we will probably have to attend to them?" Turk guessed, "I will get ready for them," he stands up and leaves the room.
That leaves JD and Cox alone. "How are you feeling?" JD says breaking the 10 seconds of silence.
Cox didn't answer him as he felt pale to speak.
JD noticed his face and gasps, putting a hand on Cox's forehead, "Wow your burning up!" he shouts with shock.
"It's fine newbie. Like I said it's just the flu."
"Cox as a intern of yours I want you to see a doctor!"
Cox smirks at this, "I don't need no doctor when I am one."
"Let me examine you then?"
Cox shakes his head, "I don't want any examination."
"Might not have a choice? Your burning up! you need help!"
Cox kept quiet wanting to drop the subject. He tried to stand but it was too painful for him now, 'Dammit.'
"You can't stand, can you?" JD crossed his arms like a principal would when scolding a small child. He held out a hand for him to grab hold of. Dr. Cox slabs the hand away and with a bit of painful gasping got off the sofa just when he did that pain shoot through him and he is on the floor with pain shooting out of him.
"Dr. Cox!" JD shouts with horror and knelt on the floor and looks over at him. Cox was trying not to cry out in pain, "I will get help! Just stay where you are!" he rans to Carla for help.
Cox opens his and groans when realizes where he was. In a hospital bed. JD is sitting beside the bed in a chair. He was looking at Cox as his eyes open. Noticing JD is there from the corner of his eyes he asks quietly "What...what happened to me?"
"You had a ruptured appendix?"
Cox groans and pinched the bridge of his nose, "And let me guess you are my-?"
"Your doctor sir."
Cox groans and then looks down at what he is wearing, "Who got me into this gown?"
JD looks over at the nurse's station and then to Cox.
"Carla?"
JD nods. He was mad at Cox for not saying anything about his appendix. He looks over at him and shakes his head.
Cox noticed JD glaring at him and shaking his head, "What?"
"You know exactly what!" he shouts, "you are to stubborn to get though! I knew something was-" he was still seated, watching Cox, "I blame myself for the realizing that it was your appendix."
Cox looks over at JD he had some type of emotion in his eyes that Cox couldn't understand, "Don't take pity on yourself Shelly. I knew it was my appendix but-"
'Really? He still calls me girl names at a time like this?' "But what? That your stubborn man to not seek help? Or that when I asked you that I notice you being odd and you reply with a flu?" he felt angry all over with rage that Cox is being this stubborn, "If you had seeked help this wouldn't of happened. Turk would of gotten it out and you would of been able to go home tomorrow. But since you are a stubborn guy and let it burst you will have to stay longer?"
Cox put his hands on his face, "I didn't think it was that serious," he looks over at the sheets.
"Of course, you did! You are doctor!"
Cox sighs while looking at the sheets. He didn't want to look at JD's angry face, "Get out," he hissed.
"What?"
"Get out now!" he looks over at JD, "Don't make me see your face again till I need you. After all you are my doctor."
JD huffs and glares at him, 'Why is he so darn stubborn! Why doesn't he decide not to get help?' JD backs away from the bed and over to the door, "You know Dr. Cox I bet it was really hard making friends at school with this attitude?"
Cox gasps at this and throws one of the pillows at JD, "Get out!"
JD nods, "My pleasure," he says calmly but deep inside he was hurt and felt angry. He wanted to punch that man! Why was he placed as Cox's doctor?
