Meggie began by taking his vital signs.

Her heart rate was very fast, her blood pressure very low and her temperature normal.

- I wonder how you make it stand up. You could have said you weren't feeling well! With this pressure ... - said the nurse.

- I'm fine, quiet, I've had low blood pressure a few times,- Halstead replied

- No, you're not fine. You are dehydrated. Did you throw up between yesterday and today by chance? - Maggie asked

- Yes, maybe a couple of times,- replied the doctor

- That's why you look like this! Meanwhile, I'll plug in a drip to give you some fluids, - Lockwood explained

- No need. I'm drinking enough already,- Will said

- Are you drinking enough already? I don't think ... how was your blood pressure before if you're really drinking enough? did you eat anything this morning? asked the nurse

- Yeah, toast and coffee,- Will said

The doctor told the truth only partially, it was true that he had eaten a toast, lied about coffee and finally omitted the fact that he had vomited everything.

- I'll ask Ethan to come and take a look at you,- she said

- I'm fine, no need,- Will said as he got out of bed.

His movements were so rapid that the doctor felt dizzy again. He rested his hands on the bed to support himself and remained in that position for a while to recover.

Maggie was approaching to help him, but he was the first to speak:

- I ... I have to throw up -

Immediately the nurse took a basin for emesis and put it under the doctor's chin, who without moving began to empty his stomach for the umpteenth time.

In reality there was not much left, there were mostly gastric juices also due to the acidity remedied by the liquor he had drunk.

When he seemed to have finished she dragged him back to bed making him lie down. There was something wrong with him.

While he was lying a grimace of pain appeared on his face and this did not go unnoticed by the nurse.

- What hurts? - she asked him

- Nothing, it's okay,- he said, sighing and trying to control the doctor.

- Don't lie Will! I ask you again what hurts you? - she asked

- I have a bit of a headache and my stomach hurts, - the doctor said, still sighing.

- You had a headache yesterday too, right? - she asked to try to understand the nurse

- Yes, but it got worse today,- the doctor said sincerely and tired.

Lockwood left him alone for a moment and he closed his eyes. Doing so seemed to ease his migraine.

Shortly thereafter the nurse returned after calling Ethan to have him take a look.

- Hi Will what's up are you sick? - Dr. Choi asked

- I'm fine, Maggie is exaggerating,- said Halstead, still feeling a little dizzy.

- Will, I'm not exaggerating, you're pale as a ghost, you've had a headache since yesterday and you told me it's getting worse. Your blood pressure is very low and you just threw up which you said you did more than once even before coming to work.-

At that moment Maggie looked like a mom taking care of her little son.
