Stained Red
Chapter 5
Note- Ramono wasn't cast yet but this is my fiction so for this he is a staff member he doesn't play a big part.
"Charge to 150" Dr. Benton said just as the elevator doors opened. "Clear"
"Normal sinus" Carol said as she rechecked Carter's stats. They rolled Carter out off the elevator "Dr. Benton he's not breathing" Carol said as she moved the bag over Carter's mouth.
"Lets get him into the room and I will tube him" Benton grabbed the side of the gurney as Dr. Romano joined the team.
"So what do we have here Peter? ... Nurse Hathaway you may return to the ER the pros can take it from here" Carol left after placing a soft kiss on Carter's forehead.
Benton explained the situation to Dr. Romano as he placed the tube in Carter's throat to help him breath.
The two men went to scrub as the anesthesiologist took over to prepare for the impending surgery.
"So Peter how did this happen to the young Carter?" Romano asked while scrubbing his hands.
Peter rinsed his soapy hands "We don't know Mark found him like that" Benton exited the prep room and joined Carter who was unconscious. "Hey is he allergic to anything?" he asked the nurse.
She looked through the chart "Nothing is listed on his chart, did anyone ask him?"
Peter looked around at all of the monitors "No there was no chance to ask him" just then Ramona entered the room ready to cut.
The surgery went smoothly and the two surgeons where able to repair all of the damage. Within a few hours Carter was moved to a private room. Benton stayed with him until his pager went off. Benton was uncertain whether he should leave, but after his pager when off twice he decided that he had better go. On his way out of the room he passed by a nurse "Hey give Carter five of morphine" and with that he was gone.
Carter slowly opened his eyes as he realized how heavy they felt his whole body felt heavy. He was confused and a little disoriented. The nurse who was tending to Carter realized that he was coming to and went to page Benton. "I will be right back Mr. Carter"
A hew minutes later Peter came running into the room "Hey man" he said while handing him a pad of paper and a pen "How are you feeling?"
Carter looked around and took the pen and wrote a short message 'What happened?'
"We were hoping that you could tell us that, what's the last thing that you can remember?" Benton asked and he waited for a response.
Carter searched his memory and began to write he passed the note to Benton 'talking to you'
Benton looked at Carter for a moment. "Hey you want to get that tube out of your throat?" Carter nodded his head quickly making Benton smile slightly "Ok you know the drill... ready deep breath ...1 ...2 ...3... blow out" Carter coughed and didn't say a word. "You ok Carter?"
Carter nodded his head but he seemed so distant. Benton looked around at the machine making sure that all of the stats were ok "Are you in any pain?" Benton asked trying to get Carter to talk.
Carter thought for a moment "A little" he said. Benton excused himself for a moment as he got a nurse to administer more morphine.
"What wrong Carter?" Benton asked in his usual authoritative tone.
Carter looked at him for a moment then looked away "I am just trying to remember" he said truthfully.
Benton looked down as his shoes "Don't worry about it right now you have to stay focused on recovering" Benton waited to see if Carter would respond "Well you need to rest so take it easy Dr. Carter I will be back up later" Benton smiled when he saw Carter's eyes light up for a moment when he remembered that he was a doctor.
