"You need a God Neuro God right here!" Derek pointed to himself. Cristiana and I were on his service today.
I personally didn't need a God. I just needed to know my specialty. Not to be self-absorbed but I'm good at everything in a way. And I don't know what I want to go into. I have been told I'm very good at Trama, PEDS, and Neuro. But I'm also good at cardio, general, and ortho, not to mention psych.
"Godly? Your entire day consists of putting shunts in people." Cristina laughed.
"Actually Todays a Temporal lobectomy. But first, we have the Cheifs meeting thing" I gave Cristina the chart.
The chief explained how he was replacing the board with a computer model for surgeries.
Derek and I were talking when a lab tech, Issac came up to us with scans
"Dr. Shepard, Dr. Reed," He greeted us.
"Issac, if you don't stop calling me Dr. Sheperd, I'm seriously gonna have to cut you off,"
"Right. Forgot. Derek. Thanks. I have your scans, Derek." He handed him some scans
"I didn't order any scans," I tried my best to start looking at the scans but Derek kept waving them around
"I think they're for a consult, but I can come back if you're busy," He started to walk away
"Oh my-" I saw the scans.
"No, it's ok," Derek also saw "It's a tumor on the spinal cord,"
"Possible hemangioblastoma," I looked in awe at the tumor
"Nice job Dr.Reed"
"Have you seen one before?" Issac questioned.
"Not this big. You see how the tumor has worked its way up the spine?" He pointed
"It's taken over the blood supply." I point out. "It's a perfect tumor. You know if the patient still has leg function?"
"How did you know about leg function?" Derek questions me
"I don't know, guess I'm just good at nuero," I shrug
"You would be amazing in neuro." He smiles
"Yes. About the leg function" Issac smiles
"Incredible. He shouldn't be walking. He should be paralyzed. Dead."
"You'd have to operate quickly than to take the tumor out?" Issac asks
"Id love to operate on this. But no. No you have to cut the cord, paralyze the patient to kill the tumor. Who's the doctor on this one?" He asked
"You" I tipped my head towards him
"I'm sorry?" Derek chokes
"These are my scans. The tumor is mine. I'd like you to take it out. I'd like you to try. One doctor said it was bad circulation, Another one, a pinched nerve. But when the pain started to interfere with work, I decided to run an M.R.I. On myself."
"Issac had I known this was your scan I wouldn't have..." Derek apologized
"I've been to every doctor. Derek. Every time it's the same thing. They look at the tumor and there defeated but not you. You were inspired. That's why I know I was right to come and work here. I needed to meet you."
"You got a job to meet him?" I questioned
"I have researched every neurosurgeon in this country. I know they're statistics. I know who wins the most prizes. But I also know who takes the most risks. That's You."
