Sorry, it's going to be a little short.
Derek's POV
Today is a big day for me. Today I'm removing a big brain tumor and it could spark a new clinical trial. That might seem like a normal day to others, but I always take the chance to do more research on the worlds most complicated thing; the human brain. All that sounded great until I had a 911 page that changed my life...
That morning
I had a plan set for my day, I had to round on my patients and do a few routine surgeries that would take up most of my afternoon. Normally, I don't make a plan for my day because I know it never follows accordingly. Why I set one for today, I don't know. I handed my last patient's chart to the nurse at the desk and I took a glance at the O.R board.
"Okay, I'm in O.R 3 from 1:30 to 3:00. Then, I'm in O.R 5 from 4:00 to 5:40." I continued to mutter to myself.
Soon, Dr. Grey found me while she was looking over the board too. I quickly glanced over at her and she was smiling her classic smile.
"Hello, Dr. Grey." I greeted.
"Dr. Shepherd. Busy day?"
"I've got a few routine surgeries, but I've have a hour in between them so hopefully I can get some lunch and call Kelly. Then, I have a big tumor removal to end the night."
"I heard about that, that's certainly a good way to end the day. I meant to ask you, how's Kelly doing with you working all these night shifts?" She questioned.
"Uh, we had a few bumps in the road. She's still doing good in school, so I'm glad it wasn't that. She's an all 'A' kid."
"That's great. Well, I'm in O.R 8 right now with Dr. Hunt so I've got to go. See you later." She called, walking away.
"See you later." I walked off to get scrubbed in for my first procedure.
3:30 PM
I sat down with my lunch and I decided to call Kelly. She should be getting out of her last class. The phone rang for a few minutes but it went to her voicemail.
"That's strange, maybe she didn't turn it back on. She'll call back in a few minutes."
Those few minutes turned into a few hours, which I told the nurses in the O.R to tell me if she called. I called her once more before I went back into surgery. It wasn't my phone that showed Kelly was coming, it was a 911 page.
"Who's pager is that?" I asked.
"It's yours Dr. Shepherd, it's a 911 in the ER."
"I'm almost finished here, I just have to close. Depending on how long this page takes me, I might need to reschedule my tumor for tomorrow, I'm already behind schedule. Ross, can you finish for me, please?"
"Yes, Dr. Shepherd." He answered. I took off my mask, gown, and gloves and I went to respond to the page.
I was not prepared for what I saw. There was a young girl having a seizer and she couldn't stop. I heard all the names of seizer medicines they were pushing, but I was trying to figure out who she was. That's when I realized,
"Kelly?"
