The young lady sighed when Abby walked in. "What happened to Dr. Barnett? I thought he was going to wrap my ankle."

Abby sat down. "He had another patient he needed to check on." She lied.

"He is GORGEOUS!" the young gymnast sighed. "How do you manage to work with someone that is that hot?"

Abby laughed. "Oh, it's not too hard." She patted the young girl's thigh. "All done. Just need to write you a quick prescription and you'll be out of here." Abby left and found Ray in the lounge. "You owe me big time, Barnett."

"Why?" Ray's attention never strayed from the continuing snowfall.

"I told your fan in Exam 2 that you had another patient to see. What's going on with you today?"

"The weather's just getting to me." Ray turned around and faced her. "Abby, I am trying not to show how annoyed I am."

"What's annoying you?"

"Everything. Work. Neela. The blizzard. You."

"Me?" Abby nearly dropped her coffee.

"Yeah. But don't ask what you did because I don't know." Ray placed his head in his hands. "I don't know…Things are just…" He snapped to attention when he heard the paramedics rush in. "I got it!" He ran out. "What's this?"

Sally Jefferson looked at him. "16 year old male in an MVA. BP is 110 over 40 and he's complaining he can't feel his legs."

Luka Kovac ran to Ray's side and began to control the situation. "What's your name?"

"Braydon Shaver." The young man replied. "Please. I can't feel my legs." He was close to tears.

Ray looked down at him. "Don't worry. You'll be fine." As Sam gave the young victim some pain medication, Ray studied Luka.

"Let's get some x-rays!" Luka ordered. A few minutes later, Luka was studying the x-rays. "What do you think, Ray?" Ray didn't say anything. "Ray?"

"Sorry, Luka."

"What do you think?"

"Of what?"

Luka sighed. "The X-RAYS!" His patience was wearing thin.

Ray looked at the x-rays. "Uh, yes. He's definitely broken his spine in 4 places."

"In other words, he'll never walk again." Luka ignored the look Ray gave him. "Let's go and break the news."

Ray followed Luka. "Are you sure he'll never walk again?"

Luka sighed. "Yes, Ray. He's going to be a paraplegic for the rest of his life." He opened the doors to Exam 4. "Well, Braydon, we've got your x-rays back and the news isn't good."

"What's wrong?" The young man started to panic. "Will I walk again?"

Luka looked at the scared young man. "I'm afraid not."

"You sure?" Braydon looked to Ray.

"It's highly unlikely. It's a one in a million shot." Luka put on his best bedside manner.

"But I could walk again, couldn't I?"

"No." Luka reiterated. "You'll nev…"

"What makes you so sure, Dr. Kovac?" Ray suddenly spoke.

"You saw the x-rays." Luka glared hard at Ray and then looked at Braydon again. "I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do."

Ray simply glared at Luka and left, huffily throwing his lab coat on the floor.
