Chapter seven
"Despite our best efforts your mother did not make it," Perry says to Mrs. Wilkens' family. "I'm sorry."
Then he walks away nothing more that he can do.
He ends up at the hospital's coffee place and sits down at one of the empty tables.
A cup of coffee is placed in front of him.
Looking up from the table, he sees JD sits down across from him.
"Thought that might help," the younger doctor says and takes a sip of his own coffee.
"Guess you were right," Perry says his way of saying thanks.
"I hate always being right," JD says with a silly grin on his face.
"Who told you that lie, Debbie?" Perry asks then takes a drink of his coffee.
"Doesn't matter," JD says. "Will you be alright?"
"Yeah, Newbie," Perry says looking down at his coffee. "I'll be fine."
"Perry,"
The older doctor lifts his head and locks eyes with JD.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Perry opens his mouth to answer but whether it was to accept JD's offer or to tell him off the other doctor doesn't know because in that moment …
Beep!
His pager goes off.
"Oh, no," JD says looking down at it.
"Go,"
"But…"
"Newbie, go,"
"Right,"
--
JD makes it to the nurse's station it record time.
"What happened?" He asks Carla.
"Mr. Grayson's fever spiked," the Latina nurse answered. "He's is surgery now."
"Where's Trent?"
"In the patient's room,"
"Thanks," JD says and rushes over there.
When he walks into the room, he immediately sees Trent sitting in the corner.
"Trent?" he asks gently not sure if he'll be welcome or not.
"He was doing fine," Trent starts his voice wavering as he spoke. "Then nurses came in saying he needed to go into to surgery right away that his appendix might burst."
"It happens sometimes," JD says. "Things change before you notice."
"How long will the surgery take?"
"Less than an hour," JD says. "I can stay with you until he comes back."
"Don't you have other patients?"
"They can wait,"
