This chapter is like a cross over, with mentions and an appearance of Ms Naylor
Once Tom had signed the consent form for Sam's operation. Mr Carlson then left the relatives room, before checking again for the transfer upstairs. Heading to rhesus, he checked Sam's SATS just to be on the safe side and that she was still stable enough to be operated on. Before telling a near by porter that he was to take Sam up to Keller ward.
And that he would meet them there, he had to run some errands before he would go upstairs.
He headed back into the relatives room to where Tom was stood. "Alright they're ready for her upstairs. If you would like to follow me' Mr Carlson asked Tom nodded before following him out the relative's room.
And over to the lift. And just as Tom made it there. Sam was wheeled out of rhesus by a porter. He noticed that Sam's eyes were already closed he looked at Mr Carlson for an answer,
"She's been put to sleep already because the second we get upstairs, she's going straight to theatre' Mr Carlson explained, hearing this Tom sighed a little before the lift pinged to announce that it was now on ground floor.
The lift doors entered and the porter who was in control of Sam's trolley pulled up just before Tom and Mr Carlson headed they're way into the lift. The lift doors closed and the lift began to move up to the third floor. The silence was probably the most uncomfortable silence Tom had ever felt. He looked at Mr Carlson from the side of his eye.
He noticed he was clutching Sam's folder rather tightly, this aroused his suspicions. Even Tom knew that surgeons don't usually clutch they're patients notes that tightly.
Sure enough the lift made it to the ward they needed, but Tom stepped out Mr Carlson however didn't. 'Aren't you meant to be getting out?" Tom asked raising his eyebrows.
"I'll be down in a moment. Just need to pay someone a visit on Darwin' Mr Carlson said and before Tom could ask further. The lift doors closed once again. Tom rolled his eyes, so much for straight to theatre. Before the lift pinged again and this time it revealed the porter and Sam.
"So where shall I put her?" the porter asked.
"I don't know. Mr Carlson said he needed to nip upstairs to Darwin to see someone or something' Tom said. Before a male in scrubs approached Tom.
"Is that the ED patient?" the nurse asked.
"Yeah, Mr Carlson is upstairs. He said he would be down in a moment' Tom answered
"You might as well wait on the ward, I expect he won't be back down for a good ten minutes" the nurse explained.
"How come?" Tom asked. Eyebrow raised.
"Didn't you know Mr Carlson and Ms Naylor are in a relationship. She'll be the reason he's nipped upstairs to Darwin, she works on that ward" the nurse explained. "Oh Right," Tom replied before leaving Sam's ward and heading back in direction of the lift. he waited for the lift to appear before he got in and pressed for Darwin. It only took five minutes and the lift arrived to Darwin, and Tom got out before he headed out to a desk.
"Can you tell me where I can find Ms Naylor" Tom asked
"Ms Naylor asked not to be disturbed." The nurse replied at the desk.
"she did, did she?" Tom questioned, before he walked off down the corridor
"Mr! Mr You can't go down there!" the nurse said but Tom wasn't having any of it, he soon found Ms Naylor's office and opened the door. To find Mr Carlson and believed soul in a passionate clinch. Ms Naylor broke away from him at once before glaring at Tom angrily
"Who said you could come in here? I thought I told you, I didn't want to be disturbed' she barked at the nurse.
"while you two were playing birds and the bees my fiancé is waiting to be operated on now if you don't mind I'd appreciate you getting back to your job thank you very much" Tom said looking at Mr Carlson, who was buttoning his shirt he nodded an apology towards Ms Naylor.
"Ill make it up to you once I'm done in theatre ' he told her.
"You'll do no such thing. Do you know how close I am to filing a complaint against you. You're treading on very thin ice right now so I suggest you get back to treating my fiancé" Tom told him, and with that, they both left Ms Naylor's office.
