A
headache swam through your head about as elegantly as an elephant in a watering
hole. Pounding pain slid through every particle inside of your braid as you
raised your hand to rub the area, which was no panacea. However, an old bottle
of Midol you carried in your purse could maybe do the trick. You quickly dove
into the leather holy grail and retrieved an ancient bottle of pain relievers
that were so old, Jesus might’ve taken a few back in the day. You gripped the
grooved cap and began to twist it, but it was to no avail. The inferior plastic
was no match for your strength, but apparently something else was. Spilt nail
polish outlined the crease where the cap met the bottle, the red liquid mocking
you as it kept you away from your cure. “Okay… God is testing me right now,”
You muttered as you laid the bottle down on table that held the television, and
began to slugger it with your heels. Click,
click, click! The beating helped nothing except to strengthen the pain in
your head that was already near paralyzing. If the headache had been Popeye, it
was like it had just eaten spinach.
“Damn it!” You sighed as you focused on a scuffle going on outside. Feet were shuffling hurriedly past you door and stopped next door as keys rattled around. A slight groan was able to be heard from one of the people outside, presumably a man from the gruffness of it. Soon, the door was open and the flooded in, quickly throwing their bags aside and slamming the door shut. You stood there, looking down at the irritating bottle on the table, to the door, and then to the wall right ahead of you as if you could see your neighbors through the paneling. An idea popped into your head which might not have been the safest, yet you convinced yourself that they possibly weren’t murderers. You weren’t in the mood to handle murderers. You took a leap of faith and stepped from your room and walked swiftly to the room to your right, hesitating as you stared at the army green door that was worn from years of abuse and drug raids, probably. You reluctantly raised your hand as your knuckles collided with the weakened wood, creating the most awful sounding knock ever. Well, it was to you since you had Satan in your head dancing around.
A moment passed and the door didn’t budge. Maybe it was a sign from God that these people were murderers and that you shouldn’t bother them? Oh, screw it.
As you lifted your hand to knock once again, the door cracked slightly to reveal one green eye peering from the small space. You couldn’t see much of him, but you could tell he was a man of strong stature. You lowered your hand as you prepared your speech. “Hi, uh, I’m Y/N. I was wondering if you could open this bottle. It’s not a homemade bomb or anything, I promise. I just have a headache,” You shook the bottle slightly to show that it was harmless. His eye flew to the bottle then it flung back to you. “How many you have in there?” He asked. That’s a weird question. Why would he need Midol? Was he on his period?
Your eyebrows creased a little as you struggled not to just flee back into your hotel room out of discomfort and embarrassment. “I-uh. Only two I think…” Your head tilted out of confusion.
“Mind if I have those?” He asked quickly as he hand flung out, grabbing the bottle from your weak grasp, and slamming the door shut. You stood there for a moment shocked at had what just taken place. Did he just steal your pills? However, this didn’t phase you completely as you began to bang on the door, ignoring the pain in your head for the moment. You were more pissed off than in pain at this point with your fists colliding with the worn paint, and your foot occasionally kicked the door. With one final kick, the door flung open to reveal the hotel room. A blood trail ran from the door to the bed where another was lying down, his hand over his abdomen as if in pain. His face was contorted in pain as he winced and let out a groan of pain, which was what you heard outside earlier. The man who had stolen your pills emerged from the bathroom with them in his hand and a glass of water in the other. He acknowledged your presence, but continued to move towards the other man as he forced the pills down his throat. The man on the bed gagged slightly, but let the medicine slide down his throat. Most people would run out the door with no question, yet you didn’t. You were a med student, so you weren’t scared of blood and you figured you could use that skill at the moment.
Your hand reached out and shut the door as you slid over on the other side of the man. You took off your jacket and laid it across the man’s abdomen as he flinched in pain. The other man looked at you in confusion. “What the hell are you doing?”
“I’m a doctor,” You lied. Well, you would be one in a few years. “Do me a favor and grab the pillow cases over there and apply them to this wound as I get some supplies from my car. The man didn’t falter one bit as he ran over and began to undress the feather pillows. You stared at the injured man as his eyes tightened in pain. “Hey,” You said as you rubbed his arm gently and placed his hand on your now ex-jacket. “I know this is gonna suck, but put pressure on your stomach until I get back, okay?” He nodded his head in agreement as you fled the room, grabbed your supplies, and headed back. The healthy man was now attempted to add pressure without injuring him further. You sat the supply box down and began to filter through the instruments. Thank God you kept this for emergencies.
“What happened?” You asked as you applied rubber gloves on your hands. If the situation hadn’t been so tense, you could have mistaken it for a prostate exam since you were alone with two men in a room.
“Gunshot. Close range. It got him right on his side,” The man explained. “I’m Dean. This is my brother Sam.”
You nodded your head to them both as you walked closer to the victim. “Alright, Sam. You have two choices. I can either get Dean to knock you out and you’ll wake up with a terrible headache, or you could stay awake while I remove the bullet. I see no blood underneath you, so the bullet didn’t pass all the way through. If I don’t remove it, you could have complications down the line, like not being able to board planes because you set off the metal detector,” The older brother gazed at you with seriousness draping across his face. “Okie dokie. Not the time for jokes,” You muttered embarrassingly while you began to remove the jacket and pillow cases.
“I’ll stay awake-,”
“Sammy, are you sure? I have no problem putting your lights out,” Dean admitted as he glared into his brother’s eyes with compassion. Sam nodded his head as his lips pursed with the pain that he was about to experience. “You better know what you’re doing,” He coldly directed towards you.
“I could do this in my sleep, sir,” You lied once again. You could actually do it in your sleep if you counted dreams. “Now, Dean, whenever you see blood seep out and bubble up from the wound, I need you to dab it with the pillow cases to absorb the blood so I can see better, okay? Don’t rub,” You lowered your hands upon the wound, your left hand holding the flashlight and your right with a long pair of tweezers. You gazed around at first to see the damage, but you couldn’t access it. There was too much blood, yet you had to push on anyway. Someone’s life depended on it. You carefully slid the tweezers down into his side, as he moaned slightly. Dean reached over and dabbed the area which thankfully removed some of the blood that bubbled up. As you slowly dug the tweezers in deeper, you finally hit something that was too hard to be an organ or a vein. You watched Sam’s face every time you touched it for a reaction, but there wasn’t any. “This is the part that sucks, Sam,” You confessed as you gazed at him. He was obviously trying to hide the discomfort of having a pair of tweezers in his abdomen. “I found the bullet and now I can extract it. It didn’t hit any organs so it won’t hurt nearly as bad as it would. I’m going to remove it slowly so I don’t cause any excess damage, okay?”
Sam nodded as strongly as he could while his hand wrapped around his brother’s in anticipation and anxiety. Dean looked at with you and blinked with reassurance as if he finally had faith in you. You put the flashlight down, grabbed a pillowcase and circled it around the wound that was bound the flood whenever the bullet was removed. You slowly tugged on the bullet which caused Sam to let out a shriek of pain while blood flooded from the hole and enveloped your hand.
“Sammy, it’s okay. I promise. She’s doing good. Just pretend you’re a woman and you’re having a baby, alright?” He was trying to soothe his brother, at least. Dean’s eyes swam to yours as he shrugged his shoulders in defense. You shook your head in response and went back to your diligent work. This time, you managed to pluck the bullet even farther out, almost removing it completely. Sam screamed in agony as tears began to stream down his cheeks and onto the fabric beneath him. Dean was also becoming watery-eyed from watching his brother suffer from so much torment.
“Okay. This is the last pull, okay?” You reassured as you tightened the tweezers on the bullet once more and removed it from the cavity, leaving a pool of blood behind. You quickly covered the wound with cloth and let the bleeding halt before you sewed him up, ending the doctor visit for good. After the needle left his skin for the last time, he moaned faintly, but it was one of relief rather than pain. He stared at you in admiration. “I still hurt like a bitch, but thank you. You know, for saving my life. You’re a good doctor,” He reassured you which caused a small smile to form on your face.
“Truth is, I’m not a doctor…” You slid from your gritted teeth as Sam furrowed his brown and Dean swung around in shock. “Guys, I’m kidding! Gosh,” You lied once again, realizing the truth would not help you in this case. “Well, I guess I should go back to my room. If either of you get any more gunshot wounds, just give me a call, or you know, steal my meds again,” You chuckled awkwardly as you began to reach for the door.
Dean’s voice broke the air. “Why don’t you bring your stuff over here and hang out with us for a while? We could have a couple drinks and you could keep an eye on your patient,”
You
placed your hand on the golden doorknob as you bit your lip sweetly and gazed
at the man. “Sure. Just let me check on the stab victim in room 304 real quick,”
You kidded as you waltzed to your room to grab your things, anticipating to get
back to your operating room.
