It was a day for children and overwrought parents, apparently. A child stuck a beanie weenie up his nose and the parents panicked and brought him into the ER. I requested a surgery consult. Chase had a kid who had swallowed some change.
A man came in complaining of pain. X-rays showed he had a knife in his side. He couldn't tell us how it happened and the fact that he was obese didn't help things. Since the films were interesting I saved them to show House.
There was a lull in the afternoon so I took my gift up to the fourth floor. I caught him torturing his team.
"I don't pay you for stupid ideas, Lucky Thirteen."
She rolled her eyes at him. "I have a name, you know."
"I don't care. Ah, Cameron!" he said as he saw me in the doorway. "Show them how it's done."
I looked at the white board for the symptoms. "Wegener's Granulomatosis?" I suggested the first thing to pop in my head.
He beamed. "That's my girl."
I held up the films I had brought to cover my embarrassment. "Brought you something."
"Great. You three, start treatment on our patient."
The other female looked at us. "But what if that's not correct?"
House shrugged. "Then blame Cameron when he dies." He crossed the room to grab the x-rays and held them to the light. "Cool. Knifing?"
"Yes," I said, following him to his office. "Poor guy didn't know why his side was hurting."
He snorted. "Fat bastard. This is why people shouldn't weight five hundred pounds."
"This coming from a man who weighs one fifty soaking wet."
"Do you even weigh a hundred, Cameron?"
I rolled my eyes. "The x-ray is yours. I know you have your collection of odd ones."
"Yes, this one is going right in there next to the ultrasound of the two headed baby."
"The ultrasound is of twins."
"But it looks like the baby had two heads," he argued.
"Whatever," I told him. "I need to get back. The ER never closes."
"You could stay," he tried.
"I could but then where would you get the cool pictures?"
"I have my connections."
I laughed. "You sound like the Mafia."
"That's me. You can tell my heritage by my Italian last name."
"Bye, House."
