Ugh, why did I become a doctor. I did not think the early morning thing through. I apply glamours as I head down to the bathroom, only to see McDreamy leaving Mer's room while looking around to make sure the others don't see him. I roll my eyes as I stand in Mer's doorway with a raised brow.
"You're an idiot." I state simply, going on down to the bathroom to brush my teeth, chuckling as Mer lets out a loud groan. I hop in for a quick shower, and then rush to get dressed before heading out with the others, who I'm assuming saw McDreamy leave if the way they're acting is any indication. As soon as I put my stuff in my locker I'm paged to a girl with abdominal pain and a fever, her mom a total bitch.
I watch as Mer does the exam after the girl's parents leave, but I have to leave her with said doctor as I'm paged about a GSW. I take in the guy who got shot, on purpose, and shake my head at people's stupidity. Once I make sure Mr. Digby is somewhat okay I go to consult on a guy who swallowed his girlfriend's keys, and all he needs is a Bronchoscopy.
I run back to Digby and take him to C.T., where Burke and Bailey both recognize the idiot, only to find out that Claire had a botched gastric bypass. Most likely to please that mother of her.
I let Bailey and Mer talk to the parents and let them know to page me when we go in for surgery. I go to help Iz while I wait and roll my eyes as the girl whines on about the dumbass who swallowed his keys. I make sure the blond has everything under control I do my best to find Digby once again, chuckling slightly as he makes light of his hemopneumothorax, joking with Karev about something to do with Iowa.
I run to the coffee cart for a pick-me-up and down the entire thing on the way back up to Claire's room, having to leave soon after the mother walks in. I stand with the others as they discuss Mer sleeping with McDreamy when George mentions that a doctor was drinking. I decide to leave before I can be implicated and go assist Burke with Digby but it seems he has it so I scrub in with Bailey and Mer.
I ignore Bailey talking about Mer and McDreamy, like every other time, and grimace when Mer's covered in something vile. I finish up with Bailey and head back to Izzie, rolling my eyes as the girl continues to bitch while Iz removes the keys. I find Mer entering the locker room and grimace once more at the smell this time.
"Go shower, you reek like hell, Mer." I call as I pass, going to Burke once more and helping Karev try to find another source of infection. We search everywhere but it ends up being a new tat on his calf, a very infected tattoo. He's wheeled up to ICU and started on antibiotics, so I decide to peek in on Shepherd's surgery, the anesthesiologist on call asleep when I walk in.
Shepherd says something to Dr. Taylor, who storms out while McDreamy resumes the surgery, so I head to ICU only to see Digby flatlining. I take the paddles and shock him once, then twice but no change when Karev starts CPR, but just like Annie it doesn't bring him back. I toss the paddles to a nurse and sigh deeply, running a hand through my hair tiredly.
After running between three different patients I am exhausted and in need of a strong drink. I drive home to see Iz icing a cake, telling us that it's chock-full of unrelenting rage apparently. Iz suddenly stating that Mer's falling for McDreamy, I mean, he isn't her soulmate after all but that is not my business. I grab a bottle of water instead of my prefered strong liquor and stagger up to my room, collapsing on to my bed with a tired groan of exasperation. God, I hate my job sometimes.
