Peyton: I feel like I've had a building fall on my head.
(Brooke takes ahold of Peyton's hand.)
Doctor: Well I'm sure we can give you something for the pain. Although I do want to just run a quick test. Can you just answer the following questions for me. Do you know what date it is?
Peyton: Um. It's 27th July
(Brooke looks at the doctor.)
Doctor: What's the last thing you remember doing before your accident?
Peyton: I was at work...Mia had gone missing. It's all a bit of a blur.
Doctor: Ok Miss Sawyer it seems your suffering from Short term amnesia, where you can remember the events of the last 24 hours before your accident. However I don't want you to worry, this is quite common in head trauma cases and normally your memory will return to normal in the next couple of days. For the time being get some rest and I will send a nurse in to give you something for the pain.
(The doctor leaves and Peyton looks at Brooke.)
HOSPITAL HALLWAY
(As the doctor leaves Peyton's room, Brooke soon comes rushing out.)
Brooke: Doctor
Doctor: Yes. Can I help you?
Brooke: Can I ask you a question Doctor? What if Peyton doesn't get her memory back?
Doctor: Miss Davis. Miss Sawyer is extremely lucky to have only lost the last 24 hours of her memory, for which I'm quite sure she will gain back eventually. In some cases it can be best for the patient not to gain that part of their memory back, because remembering the trauma a patient has suffered can be quite disturbing. But Miss Sawyer has beaten the odds and she will be just fine.
Brooke: Thank you Doctor.
