Diseases and General Hospital

Hey peoples. I'm really sorry – but I won't be writing for two weeks, I have two vacations to go to. Overlapping vacations. So I'm sorry, but you will have to find something else to read. Ha! Like anyone really wants to read my crappy stories. Yeah right! That kills me! Wipes tear of laughter from eye. So anyway, I'm bored and will tell you about my vacations before I write the next chapter. If this bores you, stop reading this Author's Note right … … … … now! For those who aren't, here goes! First I am going to Nantucket, Massachusetts (USA), with my parents, my friend and my parents' friends. Then, the same friend is taking me to Outer Banks, North Carolina (also USA), with her parents, and her other family that I may or may not know about. By the way, I DO live in USA, in Pennsylvania as a matter of fact. That's all folks! Ba-da-beeb-da-beeb-da-beeb-beeb.

Disclaimer: I don't own House, but I will be renting him for my vacation, and I shall proceed to use him as a human surf board. Once again; yeah right!  

Diseases, Text and General Hospital

Cuddy forced House check up on Sammy, since Foreman was doing clinic duty. Chase and Cameron stayed back to "talk" about Chase's "habit" of chewing pencils. So, House went (he tried every possible way to get out of it) grudgingly. Sammy was sitting in her hospital bed, playing a pink Gameboy Advance and sitting through a commercial for who-knows what.

"So, you enjoy your kid's games?" House asked, meanwhile hiding his own Gameboy deeper in his pants pocket. "And what are you watching, Barney?"

"Would you prefer I watched ESPN?"

"Huh, yeah right. So you are watching Barney?"

"See for yourself what I'm watching."

"Fine." As House proceeded to sit down on the chair next to Sammy's hospital bed, she grabbed into his pocket and pulled out his Gameboy, completely loaded with batteries and Super Mario Brothers Advanced 4.

"Ah-ha!" she cried out in triumph. "I knew you were hiding something!"

"So?" House said gruffly.

"So? Your comebacks are getting as bad as your lies," countered Sammy.

Suddenly, the show came back on that Sammy was watching. "General Hospital?" House roared.

Non-plussed, Sammy looked at the astounded diagnostician. "Duh. What's it to you?" At this point, both Chase and Cameron entered the room. "Oo, that's three for Sammy, zip for House," Chase shouted gleefully. It's not every day that House gets burned three times in a row, after all. Unfortunately, Chase also received a sharp blow to the head.

"I thought you two were supposed to be in a love argument." Both ducklings went quite red and bowed their heads. They definitely shouldn't have come in there.

"It's okay, you guys. It's really obvious about your 'current state'. Even the witless wonder here could figure that out." Cuddy rushed in the door while House said "figure that out."

"House, if you don't stop harassing your patients, you will be doing twice as much clinic duty for the next two months. Oh, hello Sammy! How are you feeling today?"

"Fine, Cuddy," she said cheerfully, "I'm only giving House a taste of his own Vicodin."

"Oh, well if that's all your doing, than go hard on him."

"Will do."

"Hey, which one of you numskulls leaked the secret to Miss Nosy over there?" House interjected.

"I found out on my own, thank you very much once I convinced your friend Wilson to give me your file. I also noticed out in the hall that you were popping pills. And," she said on a softer note, "I also heard about your 'relationship' with Stacey, and what she did to you. I'm sorry." And she truly looked it.

Chase, Cameron and House looked in surprise. Finally after a few minutes of awkward silence, House said, "Well, the snoop is prone to mood-swings. How very…interesting. I shall put this information in several important documents."

"Whatever. Just let me get back to my General Hospital." At this point Chase and Cameron practically cracked their ribs from laughing. House quickly pulling Chase along like a child on a baby-leash, motioning for Cameron to be strung up too, but she shook her head and hung back. "Sammy," she started, "if there's anything we can do, we'll be there for you. House would disagree with this, but as a doctor I feel it is my duty to show support for anyone who comes in here."

"Thank you, Cameron; I appreciate it. As it happens, my mom got me Rent on DVD today, and I was wondering…if you weren't too busy…that we could force the guys to watch it after work."

Cameron smiled; "Sure thing – hey, what's that on your forehead?"

"What? Where?"

"Right there, on the bridge of your nose; it looks like a rash. Are you allergic to any foods that you may have eaten today?"

"No, but I'm sure it's nothing. I usually get allergies due to dust, mold, and pollen of all sorts. But then," Sammy argued with herself, "Why would I get it if it's the middle of winter, in a hospital?"

"Well," said a worried Cameron, "I'll tell the team about it."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Back at the conference room, Cameron presented the case her fellow doctors. "Just a rash?" Chase queried, "That's probably due to allergies."

"She doesn't have any food allergies. The only things she is allergic to are mold, dust, dandruff, pollen, things like that. It doesn't make sense to have a reaction to them in a sterile hospital room, in the middle of winter," stated Cameron.

"But what if," countered Foreman, "the gangrene in her foot became infected and caused a reaction elsewhere in her body."

"Ehh," buzzed House, "I'm sorry Mr. Foreman but you have just lost $50,000,000. Thank you for playing and try again next year."

Thinking thoughtfully, Cameron said, "It was dry gangrene, and we gave her antibiotics to stop an infection from happening. Besides, the rash wouldn't be on her forehead, but closer to the infected area."

"Ding-ding-ding! Cameron is our winner for this evening and for her prize will be sleeping with Chase back in her bedroom."

Choosing to ignore this comment, Chase said to the group at large, "I say that we wait until the disease progresses a little and wait for some more symptoms."

"Good idea, Chase. By the way, Sammy wants to talk to us after work. That means you, too House."

House stuck his tongue out at Cameron, but grudgingly obliged.

Meanwhile, Sammy saw Cuddy and Wilson walking down the hall, talking about medical things and she called them to her room. "Hey," she said. "You guys wanna come over here after work? I'm really bored and my mom won't visit me, so I have nothing to do. She did bring me a couple of movies, if you want to watch them, though."

"Sure," said Cuddy and Wilson, looking piteously down at Sammy. Then they said their goodbyes and left. Sammy smirked to herself. This was going to be a fun night.

A/N: Muahahahaha! I leave you with a cliff-hanger! What is Sammy's mysterious rash for? Will Chase and Cameron ever get together? What has the evil Sammy planned for her night of horror? How will the boys handle the chick-flick (I say this based off of the fact that my dad hates this movie/Broadway production due to its femine-ness) of Rent? Tune in next time to "House and Sammy's General Housepital of Horror!" Bum-bum-bum! (Yes that was a pun. No, that wasn't a grammatical error. Can't you people take a joke?")
