Here's chapter four as promised, sorry it's so short. Thanks to those of you who reviewed the last chapters or are planning to review this one. FYI all of the medical information, however little, is true

Disclaimer: I wish it was mine

Cuddy was the first one to walk through the door, then House and Wilson, and then Foreman.

"Hi, how are you feeling" Cuddy asked, concern evident on her face.

"I'm okay, I'm alive, I guess that's something"

Cuddy nodded and smiled at her sympathetically. This conversation was to "boring" for House so he decided to join in.

"Haven't I told you not to play in traffic before." He directed the rest of his comment to Cuddy, "Kids, these days, they just don't listen." Cuddy elbowed him in the ribs, which made Foreman laugh.

"Are you feeling any better, or do you want me to give you a higher dose of morphine." Foreman said, more to rub it in Chase's face then anything else. He knew that he had given her more then enough already. Chase didn't want to give him the satisfaction so he didn't react.

"I'm feeling a lot better, thanks" she replied, totally oblivious to his intentions.

"Good" House said, then nudged Cuddy "Lets go" Cuddy looked at him very confused.

"Uh, we'll be right back" she said to Cameron, knowing that House would only give up a chance to make fun of his employees if he had a good reason. House started whispering as soon as they exited the room.

"Do we know what caused her to faint yet."

"We haven't gotten that far, why?" Cuddy asked

"Did you see her heart rate, it was racing"

"It's probably just a side effect of the drugs"

"Or..." House prompted

She thought for a moment, then got a glazed over look in her eyes. "A pulmonary embolism, or heart disease." She looked back up at House. "But it could still be the drugs."

"There's only one way to find out." He said as they walk back into Cameron's room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait, so you want to take me off of the pain medication" Cameron asked in disbelief. House and Cuddy had just finished explaining to her that she might have a serious condition, but the only part that she heard was the way they wanted to find out.

"No" said Cuddy cautiously, "we just want to put you on a different pain medication"

"But it's not going to be as strong"

"There's not much stronger that morphine" Cuddy replied, wishing she could lie.

"Or" House began stretching out the word, "we could take you off of pain medication all together and wheel you around the hospital poking you with a bunch of needles."

"Cameron" Cuddy said calmly "This really is the best way to do this."

Cameron started to take a deep breath, but then stopped herself knowing it would hurt, and just looked over at Chase. He returned her gaze steadily and nodded his head telling her that he too thought she should do it. "Alright" she said, "I'll do it."

Hope you liked it. Not my best work, but hopefully I got my point across. You know the drill, 3 more reviews and I'll update, probably not a half an hour later though cause I'll have homework. Anyways luv as always
