Chapter 3
Sorry I am having a problem with the website. I think I got it figured out now. I am sorry to all the people who were reading my story. I messed it up. So now that I got it figured out. I am going to try to do chapter by chapter. This story will mostly be in Callie's POV. I am trying to get the other characters involved as well.
Callie's POV
I have to go the Ped's wing of the hospital and begin my training.
As I walk into the elevator I hear nurses talking about hospital gossip.
Apparently Dr. Sloan is a man whore. I have to smile at that because of Bailey this morning. Dr. Shepherd cheats on his wife and Dr. Robbins is a lesbian. Why do the nurses always gossip about everything?
There is no way that these accusations can be true. Although I do have the year to find out.
Apparently the attendings in this hospital have names like "McDreamy, McSteamy, and rollergirl" All those names are hysterical.
I am out of the elevator and on my way too meet rollergirl for the second time today. She is kinda adorable for a girl. Not that I would ever think about a girl in that way.
She spots me entering the wing and says "Hey Calliope ready to start the day?"
I have a huge smile on my face and state "I was born ready"
She just perks up and says "That is great enthusiasm something that is needed in Peds. I have one question for you. Are you hardcore? Because whoever works in peds has got to be hardcore."
I'm laughing on the inside when she says this so I just state "I am very hardcore and ready for anything today."
She says "Good lets go."
Is it possible that she can be more adorable? I think not. Damn not again.
She is walking me through the wing and introducing me to some patients. One has leukemia and my heart breaks right there. I just want to walk away but I know in med school I was taught to not care. But I will always care. That is just me and I am too stubborn to change. I just walk out of the patient's room for a few minutes and catch my breath. After a couple of minutes Arizona follows me outside.
She puts her hand on my shoulder and says "It is going to be okay. I know it is hard too see a child go through cancer but that is our job. I usually try to think about rainbows, butterflies, pizza, and cookies whenever I am in a child's room. This is the reason that this job is so hardcore. Different people come in and out of the hospital and they may live or die. In Ped's we need to advocate that they will live to eat the cookies and see the rainbows someday."
That had to be one of the most inspirational things I heard in my whole life.
I just started crying in front of Arizona because of what she just said. Wow this is embarrassing first I ran into her and now I am crying too. She still has her hand on my shoulder and I feel safe. I just met this person about hours ago it feels good to be around her.
She suddenly takes her hand off my shoulder and says "Let's go back inside and talk to that child about his treatment."
I went in with her and now I felt much better. I was talking with several different patients and then I was showed how to put in an IV.
Arizona…. I mean Dr. Robbins showed me what to do. I learned that and she gave me a sticker for my good work today.
Now I am on a lunch break and I see Dr. Robbins eat with Dr. Sloan. I move over to them and ask "Can I sit here?"
Dr. Robbins states "Sure Calliope"
I just say "Thanks Dr. Robbins."
She is laughing now and tells me "It's Arizona this is a very informal hospital"
Dr. Sloan is smirking and tells me something different "Call me Dr. Sloan at all times and bring me a cappuccino."
I am shocked that he just told me to do that but too my surprise Arizona says "Mark this is my intern and a good one don't ask her to get your cappuccino. Get your own damn cappuccino."
Now he just looks away and says "Fine I will be back shortly."
Arizona 1 Mark 0
Arizona looks up at me and apologizes for Mark. "He is such an ass sometimes. But truly a sweet guy when he wants to be."
I just say "Yea I can see that. I only got 10 hours left today then I get to go home. It has been such a long day.
Arizona says "I remember my internship it was a crazy fun time. I grew so much as a surgeon and that is the only reason that I am here today." Her beeper goes off and then she says "I got to go but it was nice talking to you Calliope. Also your going to make it you are hardcore." This girl is truly amazing I just hope she would want to be my friend someday in the future.
Now with 2 hours to go I go to the locker room to talk to the other interns. One is Izzie the model. She is nice but all fake. Meredith is dark and twisty. Christina is so ambitious it comes off as annoying but she will be a great surgeon. George is the cute and lovable best friend that every girl wants in there life.
Christina asked me "Where are you living?"
I just said "I am living a few blocks away from the hospital."
She just flat out asks me "Can I move in with you?"
I should have said all this but instead "What? Why? When? How? NO NO NO"
Instead I said "Yes sure as long you don't steal any of my surgeries."
And as I am about to walk out the door to go back to the peds wing I ask "Your not a psycho right?"
She just laughs and says "I have two PhD's and I am in surgery. I just have a type A personality if that is what you mean?"
I just say "Yea sure. You better have all your stuff moved in by the end of the week."
I am back in the ped's wing when I spot Billy the leukemia patient outside his room. I just walk over to him and say "What's up Billy?"
Billy looks up and states "I fell out of my head and hurt my ankle I need too see a doctor."
I had to laugh at that. I am supposed to be a doctor and handle these types of cases but I can't do that yet. So instead I just page Arizona. Arizona comes running in to see Billy.
She asks him "what hurts and how long has it been hurting?" He tells her "Since I fell out of bed." She checks on his ankle and she notices that it is very swollen. So she asks me
"Calliope Billy's ankle is swollen and his pain level is at 10 what do we do?"
Ummm come on Callie think now this is simple. "First the R-I-C-E method then we give him a X ray and if anything peculiar shows up then discuss surgery options."
She smiles "Good it is X ray time then. Billy ready to go in the rocket ship. Everything is fascinating and colorful."
Billy just says "Yes Dr. Robbins.
Billy is off in the rocket ship and I got 10 minutes to go. Thank god this day is almost over.
