Chapter 3
''Mom, my friend had an accident. She fell down the stairs and she was unconscious for a long time. I called 991 immediately and now she's in the pit,'' Said Meredith very fast. You could see she was really afraid that there was something wrong with her friend. Addison's pager went off. ''It's your friend. I have to go.'' Addison ran as fast as she could through the hospital to the pit. She came in the room and there was a 14 year old girl. ''Great, you're here. I needed an intern on this case because I have a lot to do today. Emily Parker fell down the stairs and she hit her head. There's a possibility that she has a brain bleeding. Can you make a CT scan so we can see what's wrong? Bring me the results when you have them.'' Dr. Carter asked, you could see he was in hurry. ''Yes, of course. I'll take care of it.'' Addison answered. Dr. Carter walked out of the room and Addison was alone with Emily. ''How are you? Do you have a headache or something else?'' Addison asked while she checked her eyes. ''I have a headache but besides that I feel okay,'' Emily replied. Meredith came in. ''Hey, how are you?'' Meredith asked. ''I'm okay,'' Emily answered. Addison looked in Emily's chart for a moment. Emily and Meredith talked for a moment. ''I've got to take Emily with me so we can make a CT scan,'' Said Addison and she took the bed from the brakes.
After a long time walking through the hospital they arrived at the room with the CT scan. They were lucky because nobody used it, so they didn't have to wait. Addison helped Emily in the CT scan. ''You have to lay really still, try not to move, otherwise we have to do everything all over again,'' Addison said. She walked to the room next to the CT scan. She waited for the results, while Emily was laying really still. Mark came into the room when he saw Addison sitting there. ''Hey Monty, do you finally have a patient?'' Mark asked with a big smile on his face. ''Yeah, I have. It's a girl who fell down the stairs and she hit her head.'' Addison answered and looked if everything was alright. ''Oh, that sucks. I have a question.'' Mark replied. He looked very seriously at Addison. Addison had no idea what he wanted to ask her. ''I heard somebody say something about Searching Sloan when I was in the elevator. They are calling me Searching Sloan, aren't they? Do they call me that because I couldn't find the appendix?'' Mark asked, he blushed and looked really ashamed. She knew that they called him that when they were sitting in the gallery looking at him when he couldn't find the appendix. ''Not that I know, I don't know anything about that.'' Addison answered. She knew she was lying to him, but it was the best thing to do. ''Okay, thank you. Do you think she would have a brain bleeding?'' Mark asked. ''Yeah, I think so.'' Addison replied. She was still waiting for the results. Suddenly the results came in and they looked at them for a long time. ''I think that's a small brain bleeding.'' Addison pointed at the blurry spot on the results. She grabbed the results and brought Emily to her room.
''Dr. Carter!'' Addison ran to dr. Carter. ''I've got the Emily's results. I think she has a small brain bleeding.'' Addison said and gave the results to dr. Carter. He looked for a moment. ''You're right. She has one. I've got to clip an aneurysm right now, I can operate her tonight. Can you book an OR for tonight?'' Dr. Carter asked. ''Yes, of course'' Addison answered.
After booking an OR she was looking for Naomi. She couldn't find her. She wanted to tell her everything about today, that she had had a patient. Her pager went off. It was Emily. She ran as fast as she could to her room. When she came in the room she was in shock. Emily had a seizure. ''Where were you? She's having multiple seizures. How do you want to proceed? A nurse asked. They were trying to hold her still, so nothing could happen. She had no idea what she had to do. She had never seen this. There wasn't even an attending. ''what did you give her?'' Addison replied and grabbed her chart. ''We gave her Diazepam and two milligrams Lorezepam. You need to tell us what you want to do.'' The nurse asked and got very irritated because she didn't know what to do. ''Did you page dr. Carter and dr. Webber? Addison asked. ''Yeah, we did. What do you want to do?'' The nurse replied. ''Okay, you gave her Lorezepam?'' Addison asked. Everyone was running around her and she was standing there and did nothing. ''Yeah, we did but it isn't working.'' The nurse replied. She thought and knew what to give her! ''Load her with Phenobarbital.'' Addison replied and looked if something changed. ''Nothing changed. '' The nurse said. That was the only thing she could think of. ''Where is dr. Carter? Have you paged him? Addison panicked. ''Yeah, I just told you!'' The nurse answered. ''Page him again!'' Addison said. ''Her heart stopped. Code blue!'' The nurse screamed. ''Get the crash cart!'' Another nurse yelled. Addison got the crash cart. ''Charge the pads to 200.'' Addison said. ''Clear!'' Addison screamed. Everyone put their hands up. ''Nothing happened, she's still in v-fib. ''Charge to 300.'' Addison said. ''Clear!'' Addison looked up whether something happened. ''Sinus rhythm is coming up. Pressure's returning. She's coming back'' the nurse said. Addison walked out of the room. She was in shock. Emily could have died!
Addison walked to the basement. She climbed at one of the hospital beds and just sat there. She was still in shock. Derek saw her and walked up to her. ''What happened? It looks as if you have seen a ghost or something.'' Derek asked. He climbed on the hospital bed and sat next to her. ''I just saved a girl's life.'' Addison replied. ''She had a seizure and her heart stopped. There wasn't an attending so I had to do everything.'' Addison said. ''That's great! You saved her life! But why do you look like you saw a ghost?'' Derek replied. ''She could have died Derek! Her life was in my hands and she could have died!'' Addison answered and a tear streamed down her face. She knew Derek wouldn't understand her. It was a little girl, she has a long life right in front of her. If it went wrong she could have died and she was responsible for it. Addison pager went off. She stood up and walked away. Derek stared at her.
''What have you done? You were supposed to monitor her!'' Dr Carter yelled at her. ''She had a seizure and her heart stopped. What was I supposed to do? Watch her die? Nobody was there, I paged you and dr. Webber, but nobody came so I was the only one who could do something. I didn't let her die, she's still alive!'' Addison replied angrily She saved her life and now he's angry at her. He was the one who didn't come. Everyone in the hallway looked at them while dr. Carter yelled at her and she was standing there like a puppy who did something wrong. After a long conversation about what happened with dr. Carter he wasn't angry anymore. Addison walked to the room of Emily after dr. Carter was finished yelling at her. She was okay, she was glad that everything went well.
''Good work Montgomery, and that on your first day!'' Dr Webber said gladly. ''Tonight Emily will be operated and dr. Carter asked if you wanted to observe.'' Dr. Webber asked. Every intern of dr. Webber sat with him. They were talking about what had happened that day. He was the nicest resident there was this year. They're very lucky. ''Yes, of course!'' Addison answered happily.
