Just a little update to let you guys know that I hadn't abandoned this fic… Just got a little busy studying for finals and what not…
Disclaimer: None of Grey's Anatomy is mine. But if it was, there will be an Addisex and Bang all throughout the show!…)
Addison's POV
Good afternoon interns. I'll be substituting for Dr. Bailey in the next few hours. So let's go do your rounds." Hmmm so far so good. I didn't see Karev in the group. Maybe he went home after ummm our 'conversation' Or maybe he's fetching coffee for Mark again. Or maybe – wait. Stop doing this. How could you forget him if you're keeping tabs at him. I scolded myself. "Room 314, whose patient is this?" I ask as I open the door to room 314.
(Should I leave it here? Who is the patient in room 314? Guess you'll find out in my next update huh?)
(naaaa…. I'm not that evil… On to the story…)
"mine" Mer – Grey answered.
"Alright present the case then."
"29 year old with abdominal pain on the right lower quadrant scheduled for appendectomy in 2 hours."
"Send a nurse here to prep her for the operation" I nodded to her as the other interns follow me to another room. "Room 315, whose patient is this?"
"Mine" Cristina said a bit solemnly but I was told that Yang always did have a serious, frowning face. So I didn't pay any attention to it. I look at her expectantly. Waiting for her to present the case, not really noticing who the patient is.
"23 years old, male, suffered from severe dehydration and high fever."
I raised an eyebrow at her and ask." This is not a surgical patient?"
"Ummm… no."
"Ok then why would Dr. Bailey assigned you to him?" It would be unlikely for Miranda to assign this patient to her interns. Unless of course, Yang did something totally outrageous that Bailey felt the need to punish the intern. That wouldn't be surprising.
I look at the chart of the patient as I waited for Yang's explanation.
'Alex Karev' the chart reads 'Alex Karev' I squinted my eyes, just to be sure that I've read the name correctly.
"I'm assigned to this patient because I'm the one that found him in this state. And as you know he's one of us so…"
I didn't even hear the rest of Yang's explanation. Too busy in studying Alex. God he's pale. Choppy lips. Deep breathing.
"What's his latest vital signs?"
"He's fever is still high 39.5. We're administering antipyretics for the last two hours but still no change in his temperature."
I pulled my thoughts together and tried to act cool. First things first, stop looking at Alex. Oh God. This is my handiwork. How the hell could all this be happening in just one day?
"Dr. Montgomery."
"Ummm yes. Uh continue with the antipyretics. I want him monitored q2 and let me – or Dr. Bailey know if there is any change. To the rest of you." I said motioning to the other interns. I needed to get out of that room fast. Because if I didn't, I'm afraid the others will notice how affected I am in seeing Alex in that state. "Come on we still got rounds to do." I turned to leave the room masking my concern for Alex, at least for now.
AN: ok q2 means every 2 hours
v/s means vital signs
antipyretics is for Alex's fever
