Back at One
A young woman stood outside a large building holding a sheet of paper in her hand "county General" she said "Well I guess this is the place" she said folding the paper up and walking in. It was different from any other place she had worked and way busier "Excuse me" she said to the middle aged man behind the desk
"Yes?" the man said sounding annoyed
"I'm Catherine Mackenzie, I'm starting my first day today and I'm supposed to be talking to a Dr. Weaver" she said
"Hold on I'll get her" the man said going back to the computer "have a seat over there" he continued pointing to the chairs. Catherine sat there for at least a half an hour until she saw a red haired lady walk towards her
"Catherine Mackenzie?" she asked
"Yes I am" Catherine said standing up and shaking her hand
"I'm Dr. Weaver, welcome to County General" Kerry said
"Thank you I was beginning to think nobody would come and talk to me" Catherine said
"Sorry we're busy today" Kerry said "Well I guess I'll introduce you to your resident you'll be working under" she said walking over to the desk "Hey Pratt, your student is here" Kerry said talking to the young resident
"Oh hi my name is Greg Pratt, and yours is?" he asked
"Catherine, but all my friends call me Cat," she said
"Well welcome Car I guess I'll give you a tour then we can't start getting to work," Pratt said. After the tour Cat was up at the front desk looking through the charts
"Slim pickings huh?" a man asked
"Yeah I know," she said turning around
"John Carter you must be the new med student" he said
"Catherine hi" she said shaking his hand
"Is it your first day?" Carter asked
"Yeah is it that obvious?" Cat asked
"A little don't worry you'll get used to it" Carter said walking away.
"Hmm not bad looking" Cat said to herself before finding the chart that she wanted
"Cat, what are you doing?" Pratt asked
"I was going to go look at this lady in three" Cat said
"No I want you to work on some sutures in the suture room, we're backed up" Pratt said taking the chart and walking away
"Oh I think I'm going to love it here" Cat said walking towards the suture room
"Hi Mr. Enger I'm Catherine and I'm going to be suturing your leg" Cat said getting the supplies
"I don't want you I want my regular doctor where is she?" the man said grumbling he was obviously drunk
"I'm sorry but you're going to have to settle for me" Catherine said
"Whatever," he said before passing out. Thirty sutures one bad accident and three kids with chicken pox later it was about time for her to go home, she decided to head up to the roof before she left
"Oh god I could use one of these" she said pulling a cigarette out
"That sounds familiar," a woman said coming towards her
"Abby Lockhart" the woman said
"Catherine Mackenzie, but you can call me Cat," she said taking a drag
"First day?" Abby asked
"Yeah" she said
"How did it go?" Abby asked
"Not to bad, I think I'll like it here" she said
"Well that will probably change later" Abby said
"Yeah" Cat said flicking the ash of her cigarette
"Abby you ready to go?" a man with a deep accent said coming towards them "Oh you must be the new student, my name is Luka" he said shaking Cats hand
"Hi" Cat said "Well I think I'm going to be going now before I fall down good night" Cat said heading back inside. She went out to the parking garage to her car when she ran into a young man "Oh I'm sorry" Cat said getting her bearings
"My fault, I'm in a hurry I'm going to be late," the man said
"Oh well then don't let me keep you," Cat said stepping aside
"Good night" the man said running towards the hospital. Cat got in her car and headed back to her apartment, she got in the door and threw her keys and coat on the table and headed to her bedroom to put her pajamas on, she came back into the living room and turned her answering machine on
"Hi cat its Sarah, let me know how things went love ya," the first message said
"Hi Catherine its Michael, we bumped into each other tonight and you dropped your wallet I'll keep it here for you and you can come and pick it up on your next shift just wanted to let you know before you freaked out" the second message said
"Michael hmm?" Catherine said sitting down on the couch pondering her day
