His mind is busy progressing the puzzle in front of him on the whiteboard while his hands add the new symptoms. He feels the familiar rush that always comes with an interesting case pumping the blood through his veins at a probably unhealthy speed. A noise alerts him to the arrival of the last missing fellow and he turns around eager to start the differential. Red is the first impression he gets and the picture will be burned into his retina until his death while the blood in his veins rushes south.
For a split second every carefully built wall around his heart crumbles and he is left speechless.
Almost.
"Wow."
Then reality returns and all that is left is the imprint on his mind of one Allison Cameron M.D. in red.
