Take these Broken Wings
Part 4
It was the next day after he had talked with Abby, and although he knew she felt guilty he felt even more guilty for letting something like that happen to another person he loved
"Hey Dr. Carter there is someone on the phone for you from upstairs" Jerry said with the phone in his hand
"ICU?" Carter asked
"Yeah, they said its about Dr. Lewis" Jerry said
"Thanks Jerry" Carter said taking the phone "Yeah this is Dr. Carter" he said
"Dr. Carter this is Dr. Laredo from the ICU I'm Susan's Dr. I thought we should talk" she said
"I'll be up there in a few" Carter said hanging up the phone "Jerry if Dr. Weaver asks I"m upstairs" Carter said running for the stairs. He ran upstairs as fast as he could, as soon as he got there he ranup to the desk "Dr. Laredo?" he said out of breath
"I'm her" A short woman with long brown hair and glasses said "I'm Dr. Alex Laredo, I am Susan's doctor" she said shaking his hand
"Is there something wrong with her?" he asked
"We had a small scare earlier, she went into respiratory failure when we tried to ween her off the oxygen," Alex said
"But she is okay now?" Carter asked
"Yes, she is okay now Dr. Carter" Alex said
"Please call me John" Carter said
"John, the reason I called you up here is because we're wanting to take her completely off the oxygen to see if she isnt completley brain dead" she said
"And what you need my premission, cause I am not a family member" Carter said
"Well we did talk to her family, and they thought the desicion would be best left up to you" Alex said
"Okay I guess so, things couldnt get any worse" Carter said taking a deep breath. They walked into her room, and Carter sat net to her as Alex and a nurse got evertyhing ready to extubate her
"Okay everyone hold onto a really positive thought" Alex said as she got ready to shut the ventilator off. Carter squeezed her hand as the machine was shut off
