Life in a Flash: Chapter 4: The sky is changing
(((((())))))
By the time they had gotten him in the ambulance and to the hospital, he was already concious again. He had no idea why they needed to take him to the hospital now, he felt fine.
The ambulance came to a screeching stop and the back doors flew open. They wheeled him out of the vehicle and into the hospital with such grace that he wondered how many times they had had to have done this before, how many people barely clinging to life they must have rushed through these same doors.
The had put an oxygen mask on him on the way to the hospital and kept shouting things back and forth over the top of him. Phoebe had gone along in the ambulance but he wasn't sure where she had gotten to now. They weren't running with him down the hallway so he took that as a good sign. The two doctors, a nurse, and a paramedic were saying things that he had no idea what meant, so he focused his attention to the passing ceiling, counting the lights as they went by.
After about two minutes of going through various hallways and up two floors, they finally arrived to a room that had no other doors that they could push him through. He knew this wasn't the room he would be staying in tonight, so he knew what was coming his way. A nurse walked to the head of the stretcher and informed him that they were moving him onto a different bed.
He was preparing to get up, taking him by surprise when they all shouted "1...2...3!" and lifted him onto the other bed without any effort from him. The nurse walked back up to where his head lay and put a different mask over his mouth and nose, this one had a different substance coming out of the tube though. As the seconds wore on, he found himself falling into a peacefull sleep.

"What is taking them so long?" Monica shouted, jumping up from her plastic chair.
"Monica, calm down. I'm sure it's nothing serious." Ross said soothingly. They had been out in the waiting room the whole time, and nobody had come to inform them of what was going on with Chandler. "Come sit back down." He patted the seat beside him and she came and sat down, only to jump back up again.
"Somebody should have come out here by now!" She yelled, attracting the attention of an elderly woman sitting in the corner.
"Monica, be quiet. This is a hospital." Joey said, getting increasingly annoyed with her. Just as she was about to go sit back down again, a doctor walked into the waiting room.
"Are you here for, Chandler Bing?" He asked, looking over to the group.
"Yes, yes we are." Rachel said, getting up and walking over to him to shake his hand.
"I'm Doctor Fields." He announced. "Chandler's doing great. He had a mild concusion, we checked for brain damage and we didn't find anything so that's a plus. He did separate a vertebrae in his lower back, but that's taken care of. He won't be able to play hockey for the rest of the season I'm affraid, he'll be in a wheel chair for a couple of weeks, just in case. We don't want him walking around or anything." He finished.
"Can we see him?" Joey asked.
"Sure, I think he's awake, I haven't seen him in about an hour so I'm not sure. His room is down the hall and to the right, room 366." He said before walking away, not giving them a chance to ask anything else.
"Let's go." Phoebe said, already heading down the hall.
"Hold on." Ross said, walking over and grabbing his coat. Rachel and Phoebe did the same, also grabbing their purses, before they all walked down the hall to his room together.
