Previously on ER:
"Oh my god!" she suddenly realized. "I remember you"
Carter suddenly remembered and started turning beet red. Dave and Mark only gave each other puzzled looks.
****************************************************************
"I take it you know each other then?" Mark asked
"Yeah Carter, how do you know this chick?" Malucci wondered.
Before he had time to answer Cassandra took over. " Yeah we know each other alright. He's the guy who pushed me into the mud last night!" she explained angrily
"I didn't push you. I accidently bumped into you." Carter protested.
"Sure whatever. Was falling into a puddle in your mind an accident?!"
"No, but I..."
All of a sudden the door opened, interrupting Carter, and Chuni came in. "Double MVA coming in auto vs. pedestrian. ETA 5min."
"Alright everyone back to work," Mark ordered, "Cassandra come with me."
"I like this girl. She has attitude." Dave whispered to Carter.
"Oh Malucci grow up!" Carter yelled as he ht Dave.
"Hey just a joke. Don't have to get so serious."
Two minutes later they rolled the gurney into trauma 2. A young man in his late teens was bleeding non-stop and had a bad head wound. Dr. Cater and Dr. Dave were in the other room working on another victim.
"Chuni get some o-neg. Malik get a line going. Ms. Cartwright start compressions he's breaking down!" Mark commanded while putting in a chest tube. The sight of all of the blood startled Cassandra with every compression she did on the man's chest. She wasn't used to this hands on approach.
"We got a rhythm. Let's get him up to the OR. Good work people."
*****************************************************
An hour later after a tour of the ER and lots of introductions none of which she could remember she was ready to start her first case.
"Okay, introduce yourself, get a history, and asses the situation, then report back to me for treatment, there's a free bed in Exam 4 you can take it," instructed Dr. Greene.
She picked up a chart and headed towards the waiting area.
"Um is there a Danny Stewart here?"
A little boy with a pale face stood up with his mother and headed towards her.
"Hi. I'm Cassandra Cartwright...." all of a sudden the boy puked right in front of her getting some on her pants.
Mark looked up from the admit desk and laughed, "Uh... I'm sorry I should have warned you. That happens a lot with the flu cases."
"Ugh. Thanks for the warning. Kind of late don't you think? And these were new pants too!" she said disgusted.
"Here, I'll take care of this. You go grab a pair of scrubs and then start suturing on Mr. Edwards in the suture room."
The supply room was a dark and small room filled with shelves of equipment. A woman was standing there getting supplies.
"Hi. You're the new med-student right? My name's Jing-Mei Chen."
"Cassandra Cartwright. Nice to meet you. You wouldn't happen to know where the scrubs are do you? A kid puked on me."
"I can see that. They're over here. First day, eh? Don't worry you'll get used to it. Once I got puked on 3 times in a day. Well see you around."
"See you. Thanks" she tried to smile this wasn't what she had expected.
*********************************************************
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" asked Mr. Edwards nervously.
"Yeah of course I do. No. I'll go get another doctor." she regretted doing this. It was a chance to show that she could do something without someone instructing her but she had no clue where to start suturing and she didn't want to put the patient in anymore pain. She ran out into the hall to find Dr. Greene but no one was there except for Dr. Carter sitting at a desk doing paperwork.
"What the hell. It's worth a shot," she muttered under her breath.
"Excuse me. Uh Dr. Carter can you help me?" she asked timidly.
He swung around in his chair looking annoyed it was her and yet at the same time sympathetic.
"Sure what's up?" he asked
"Um, I need help suturing. It's not like I don't know how it's just that I never done it on a real person before," she explained.
"Then on a dummy?" he asked slightly amused.
"Excuse me?!" she was getting angry at how he started to make fun of her.
"Never mind that I'll show you how," and they headed into the suture room.

Well how did you like it? Excuse my medical terms I'm just making this up as I go. Be a responsible reader and review!
