A/N: Hey guys, I'm really sorry this took so long. Way too much work to do these days. But now that the essays are not totally crushing my muse, here is the new chapter. Thanks for all the reviews! Please keep them coming. Its what keeps me on my toes and helps me writefaster.
PS. I don't particularly love writing Dan, so I've avoided JD's real family completely, sorry if you wanted him in the story.
The human mind never ceases to amaze. The last thing I remember was passing out in front of Turk, from a heart attack and now, I'm having an outer body experience. I can see Turk and Dr Wen doing surgery below me. It's actually the scariest thing I've ever seen. Much scarier than the appendectomy. I mean I can see them taking out my heart, which by the way is not as big literally as it is figuratively. I've seen surgeries before, even helped with a couple, but seeing yourself lying there, cut open is so bizarre. Come to think of it, having an outer body experience itself is just plain insane. But oh well, I always new I was destined for special things.
As I turn around, I can see faces plastered against the glass door. There's Carla, Elliot and Dr Cox? Since when does he watch Turk perform surgeries? Oh wait, its me he's there for. He kinda looks freaked out though. He's got that look of horror he sometimes has when a patient of his codes on him. He probably thinks I'll code too. I hope I don't, the floating thing is cool and all but I don't really want to stay up here for good. I feel like a balloon, bouncing in the air. Well, maybe I could get used to it, but I still want to wake up at some point. This is bound to get old some time. Besides, it'll get sort of lonely if no one can talk to me.
"Hey JD"
"Ted? What are you doing here? Are you in surgery too?"
"No I fell asleep on my desk. I tend to float around the hospital sometimes. It helps me relax."
"Oh, Nice" No its not, its totally creepy.
"So getting your heart transplant huh? That's good."
"Yea I hope so."
"Gosh, I hope this calms Kelso down. He's been up my ass all week because of the donor transplant list."
"He has? I didn't know he cared."
"Yea, and Carla threatened to mutilate his testicles if he didn't."
"Ah, Carla is very strong."
"I was sorta hoping we didn't find a donor."
"What why? "
"So I could watch Carla torment Dr Kelso."
"Fair enough." I'd be offended but watching Karla manhandle Dr Keslo would be pretty funny.
Imagines Carla clad in leather, letting a quivering Kelso out of a cage." You ready to lose your manhood Bob."
"Noooo. Nurse Turkleton! Spare my big daddy!"
"Its Nurse Turk! You ain't gonna get away this time! You been a bad boy Kelso and now you gonna pay!." Takes out a whip and wacks it in the air making a swishing noise.
Big daddy? I crack myself up sometimes.
"Aw, he's waking me up! See you down there JD."
"Take care. Oh and Ted, don't forget to hand over my letters if I don't"
"I won't"
Ok so now I'm alone again. Looking around, there's more cutting and blood everywhere. Operations don't make good horror movies but they sure have a lot of gore. This is boring, I think I'll float on outside the OR and see what the others are up to.
Now I'm standing next to Carla, she's hugging Elliot. They seem to be consoling each other. Its good to know that they have each other for support.
"He's going to be fine Elliot. Don't worry honey."
"But what if he doesn't make it? I don't know what I'd do without him. I can't even think about life without him."
"You can't think like that. He'll be fine. Besides, its JD, you can't get rid off him most of the time even when you want to. What makes you think we'll be so lucky now."
Elliot, chuckled a little, through her tears. Aw, Carla is such a good consoler…HEY! LOW BLOW, I'm standing right next to you. Oh well, at least no one's crying anymore. Moving on, I go and stand next to Dr Cox. His gaze is transfixed on my body being cut open in the OR. "Come on Newbie, come on!" Is he talking to me?
"Dr Cox?"
"Come on, you can do this, don't die on us." He's murmuring to himself. Oh wait, he is talking to me, sort of. I guess he's encouraging me and consoling himself at the same time. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he loved me like a son. Oh wait, maybe I don't know better.
"I swear Gandhi, of he dies, I'll rip your head off."
Well no pressure huh Turk. This is all very educating. Dr Cox is actually so worried about me, he's talking to himself, Ted floats around the hospital at night and Carla threatened to mutilate Dr Kelso's testicles for me. I'm not hating the ghostly experience so far.
But then, when I look at Elliot, I realize that there is no way I can spend eternity, not being able to talk to her, be there for her or even touch her. In fact, I don't want to sit here and watch the rest of my family live out there lives, and have no contribution in it. I need to get back to my own body. I wonder how far the surgery has gone. Can I go in now Turk.
"Dude, stop taking to me, I'm working."

Turk's POV.
This was the most difficult surgery I've ever performed. I mean this wasn't just an appendectomy, it was a heart transplant. So many things could have gone wrong, so many things still can go wrong. I've never had to work so hard to keep my hands stable, like ever. They say that doctors should be able to put their feelings aside in the operating room, but they had no idea, you know what I'm saying? I mean this is JD were talking about. My best friend, my vanilla bear. If I would have messed this up, I donno what I would have done to myself. Heck I'm scared to think what Carla would have done to me, or Elliot for that matter. I was so scared I was going to lose him today, thank god I didn't. I'm so glad this is over, the surgery is complete. Now all I have to do is wait and see if the body accepts the heart, and then when he's feeling better, I'm going to take to that star wars convention he wanted to go to for so long, and do everything else I said I would but didn't. I'm so relieved, I think I'm going to cry again. I've already burst into tears twice today, once in the house and then right after I finished surgery.
I'm so beat right now, I could play dead for a week, but in all honestly, there is just no way in hell I'll be able to sleep. I'm so wired up I could generate electricity for Sacred Heart for a month. I don't think I've ever been this strung up during a sugary. I kept feeling like JD was somehow staring at me performing his surgery from somewhere in the room. Not to mention the fact that Carla, Elliot and Dr. Cox were standing there really cranking up the pressure. If I had a list of the most difficult things I've ever had to do, this would be right up there, on the very absolute top, even above having to telling my mom that I wanted to join ballet classes in middle school.
I'm just glad its all over. Now all I have to do is wait for JD to wake up and everything thing will be right as rain.

Dr. Kelso's POV
"Gather up dim wits" Dear god these interns are extra strength stupid, why do I keep doing this to myself anyway?
"If you're all quite finished systematically killing off all the patients in this hospital, I'd like to make a little suggest."
"How about you take your sorry asses and throw them off the highest building so that I can hire a new bunch of idiots to kill my patients. Or maybe, just maybe, One of you can actually answer a question related to anatomy that doesn't involve Britney Spear's breasts." I love squirming faces, its an intern special though, no one else squirms like that. Except for nervous guy, he is a natural.
"Now, since I can't remember any of your names or the name I gave you all last time to make up for it, today I will be referring to all the girls as booby, and all the guys and long johns. Now, Ms booby with the hideously bushy hair, pray tell what is wrong with Mr. Adams?"
"Uh…He's sick?"
"My Dog Backster could have made a better diagnosis, but that's not saying much because he actually had more brains than all of you put together. Does anyone here even know how to look at a chart." For the love of God, where are Cox and Dorian when you need them? These blunt pencils are no doubt being taught by even bigger baffoons right now."
"You, Long John with overly handsome face want to save the day with the answer?"
"Uh, sir, his heart rejected his body after transplant."
"And how do we treat that?"
"By putting him on immunosuppressant and modifying this immuno-therapy. He's also considering re-transplant"
"Ok lookie, we have a winner. Well Done Dr. Long Johns Smarty pants. Let move on."
Speaking of transplants, I should probably go see if Turkleton managed to not kill the guy I was hoping Harrison would some day date. Not to mention, I sort of need Dr Dorian to take these bands of Paris Hiltons and actually teach them how to stop killing so many god damned patients.

Elliot
FRICK JD will you just wake up already? I know, I know, big biopsy and all that but enough with the making people wait. Just wake up and be okay, Ok? I can't handle this anymore. I haven't slept in weeks, I look like a mop with my hair all frazzeled all the time and I'm just bored without you. Everyone here is just sad and lost when you're not there to cheer people up. No one's cracking jokes, making goofy comments, playing hide and seek with Turk or irritating Dr. Cox. Even the Janitor hasn't tripped anyone with the wet floor. Just wake up alright? That heart is meant to be mine, I know that now, and I need it working condition! I also would really appreciate it if the guy's heart I want to still would actually wake the frick up. I've even broken up with Keith now, and I'm ready for our new relationship to start. We won't make the same mistakes again. I'm sure about it, and I think that we're both going to be able to work everything out this time.
Come on JD! Wake up!
"Elliot?"
"JD! You're awake! I know it, I am psychic. I wanted you to wake up and you did!"
"Cold hands woke me up actually." Oh. Well, at least he's up, even though he sounds like a little girl right now. Everything is going to be just fine.
"hold up, I'm going to get you some ice chips."
"yum." See, back to the old JD goofiness, everything will be great!
