OR's Waiting Room

John paced the floor of the surgical waiting room. He'd promised to stay there until Kerry was released from surgery. Everybody down in the ER wanted an update on her condition.

After about an hour, Shirley came out, and rushed towards the elevator.

"Shirley?" John called to her.

"Sorry Dr. Carter, we need o-neg... the blood bank's short, so I'm goin' down the ER." Shirley said.

"I'm O-negative," Carter said and rolled up his sleeve.

"Alright, gown up and scrub in." Shirley said. She rushed back into the OR.

OR

They hooked John up to an IV, and took some blood. Kerry's stats improved, and eventually, the surgery was done. She had been attacked, brutally stabbed, and had almost died. John who was a bit woozy wobbled down to the ER to give everybody the news.

The ER

"How is she?" Mark asked as soon as he saw Carter approaching the admit desk.

"She's ok for now, still in critical condition... She needed more o-neg, and I guess there was some accident, and a lot of the o-neg was sent to Mercy... so I had to donate..." John said.

"Oh, well page me if her stats change," Mark said.

"Yea, I'm going back up," John said wearily,

"Ok." Mark said. "And Carter, Take care of her, will ya?" Mark said.

"I will." John said as he walked towards the elevators.

OR Recovery

Kerry was still on the ventilator, but she wasn't awake yet. She had a massive exploratory surgery, and the wounds in her neck may've damaged her vocal cords. They had the best surgeon in the area come in to do the surgery on her neck. He said that there was a 25 percent chance that she'd loose her ability to talk. All that was left was to wait until she woke up. Carter took her hand in his and held it. He wouldn't let her slip away.

"Hey," Elizabeth said as she entered the room.

"Hey," Carter replied tiredly.

"You should get some rest," Elizabeth said.

"No, I want to stay with her; I don't want her to wake up alone.' John said.

"Well, you can sleep here," Elizabeth motioned towards a bed that was next to Kerry's; I'll sit with her for a bit." She said.

"Thanks," John said and stood up. The room began to spin, and then everything faded to black.
