Threw Me for a Loop
Nurses and Doctors
Susan Lewis and Kerry Weaver poured over the resumes that filled Kerry's office. Every since Roxy Wilbur left, the need for a pediatrics attending got stronger. Both realized that they needed one the trouble was finding one.
Their Chief of Staff, Robert Romano, had agreed to let them search for Doug, Cleo, and Roxy's replacement, since he never had a knack for hiring anyone.
"How about Tom Parks. He wants to leave Northwestern, and was the other candidate when we hired Roxanne," Susan suggested.
"Set up an interview with him and see what happens," Kerry responded, got up, and hobbled out of the room.
Robert "Rocket" Romano strutted down the halls of the ER with a smile. Kerry had suggested that he read one of Elaine's papers, and he finally did. He always told himself he should, they went to a ER Doc/surgeons conference together and were close friends, but he never got around to reading her work. So he did.
"Elaine!" he called out when he saw her coming out of trauma one, ripping off her trauma gown.
"Hey, Rocket. What brings you down here? I thought you'd prefer to stay in surgery," she winked.
"Well, I just read the most interesting study on sternal saws. Did you know that they can also cut flesh, too?"
"Sounds sadistic, but yes, I knew all about that."
"I thought you would."
"You read my study, didn't you?"
"Of course. I need to know what kind of crackpots I'm hiring."
"So nice of you to immediately group me with the crackpots. I thought I'd at least get a chance with the psychopaths."
"We have to make assumptions, my dear."
"I'm glad you were the one to make them. Tell me, Rocket, is there any relevance to why you're down here?"
"Yes there is. I came down to tell you I just ordered another sternal saw for the ER. Maybe you could show everyone how to use it."
"Thank you. Hopefully this'll make a difference in how we treat patients."
"I'm glad."
He pranced off, leaving Elaine with a smirk on her face.
The restaurant was simple, and not to conspicuous, which is what they wanted. Med students were allowed to date, and they had been dating for a few weeks, but Gallant didn't want word out about his relationship with Briana. It was hard enough to balance med school and the army, but he wanted to spend time with Briana, too and not have everyone hounding him about it.
"So, did you do the chest tube today, or was it Dr. Marshway?" she asked.
"I put it in, but she talked me through it."
"Was it hard?"
"Not at all. I almost cracked because of the pressure, thought. I hope I don't do that during my surgery rotation."
"Good thing we have that at the same time. I'd hate to be in the ER without you."
"Same here."
Michael and Briana leaned in and kissed each other. Lucy used to tell her stories of what med school were like; how you never had time for relationships. But somehow, this was different to her. Even Lucy would agree Michael was different.
John Carter and Abby Lockhart both cleaned up after yet another trauma that blazed through the ER. This time, a woman had given birth just as they pulled her in. It always made Abby happy to deliver in the ER. She had been a nurse in OB/GYN longer than anywhere else and whenever she got to practice the little she knew, it made her feel good. Almost as good as she was when she was around Carter.
"So, John, are you doing anything tonight?" she asked, twisting some of her hair behind her ear.
"No, not really," he responded, his eyes lighting up.
"Would you like to go out to dinner?"
"I'd love to," he grinned, hoping his excitement wasn't showing too much, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't care, I was hoping you'd know of a place."
"Great, I'll surprise you. When are you off?"
"In an hour."
"Me too. I'll meet you in the lounge."
"Fine with me."
John watched as Abby left the trauma room. Once he was sure he couldn't see him, a grin erupted on his face. Finally, he and Abby could date, and he was even more relieved that she made the first move. Maybe now things could finally go his way.
