Cameron let Robyn into the exam room and stopped Jordan. Peeking in the door, she said to Robyn, "We'll just be a moment," and shut the door.

"Chase, Foreman and I wanted to thank you for the pens, but we have to know why you spent so much on them," said Cameron.

"You saved my sister's life. I thought it was worth it." Jordan paused, studying Cameron's face. "What's wrong? You look stressed."

"We have a new patient in," she said. "And she's got something that I know I've heard of, but I can't place it." Jordan shrugged.

"I'd help," she said, "but there are the issues of patient confidentiality. I'd hate to break the rules." She pushed open the door. "Let's get my sister's check-up over with so you can go back to thinking." Cameron smiled vaguely.

ooooooo

After the check-up, Robyn and Jordan left the hospital. Cameron went in to the new patient's room.

She looked into the face of the girl lying in the bed. She was thirteen years old and dying of something that Cameron couldn't diagnose. She shook her head and left the room.

Jordan rushed past her. Robyn looked slightly concerned, following Jordan, along with the patient's parents. Cameron looked around, confused.

"Cari!" she heard Jordan's voice call. "Cari! If I'd known sooner I would have come!"

Now Cameron was very confused, but relieved in a small way. Now Jordan had the right to know the symptoms of Cari's illness. She went back in to the room.

"Jordan, I didn't know you knew–"

"Cari was my bat mitzvah partner," replied Jordan. "We've been the best of friends ever since." Cari nodded weakly. "Do you have any idea what's wrong?"

"She's displaying flu-like symptoms," said Cameron. "Fever, headache, vomiting, and chills. She also has a rash and joint pain. We don't know what's causing those."

At that moment, Foreman walked in with the lab results. "We cultured some blood and joint fluid," he said. "It gives us a whole new diagnosis." Jordan sat up straight. All the pieces had just fallen in to place.


I had this up for a bit but realised there was an error in it, so I took it down. Now it's back up for good. :)
