How To Save A Life(Greys Anatomy Fanfiction)

Stressed? Absolutely.

Hour 24:

I stopped when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Bryce arguing with Derek so I stepped closer.

"Mr. Bryce-" Derek started but Mr. Bryce cut him off,"No, I want someone else. A doctor who knows what they're doing. You get someone else. Someone better than you." I walked up to them then said,"Mr. Bryce, I assure Dr. Shepherd is one of the best neuro surgeons in the country. You just have to give him time to figure out your daughter's case. I have known Dr. Shepherd for several years. Please, just give him a chance."

They turned to me then Mrs. Bryce asked, "Is he one of the best?" I smiled and said, "He sure is. Please, reconsider. I assure you, he knows what he's doing." I walked away and started towards the coffee cart when Derek caught up to me.

"Why did you do that,Aviana,"he questioned as I ordered hot chocolate coffee with whipped cream on top. I looked up at him and replied,"Because I wasn't about to sit back and watch you to be slandered. That, is something I will not tolerate."

I started to walk away when he stopped me again. He grabbed my arm and said,"Come on. I need all the interns. You included." I shrugged him off and replied,"Thanks but no thanks." But of course, where do I end up? Right in a conference rooms.

Cristina was suturing a banana shut while George spun in a chair. All of the interns was gathered in the small room, a pile of unknown charts in the middle of the table. Meredith looked up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm suturing a banana with vain hope it will wake up my brain," Cristina answered, shrugging. George snickered then shut up when the Korean snapped,"What are you laughing about,007?" Cristina sighed then muttered, "I'm sorry. I get mean when I'm tired."

They all looked over at me then asked in unison, "What are you drinking?" I held up my coffee as I sipped on it and answered, "Hot chocolate coffee with whipped cream and chocolate chips. Yum." George shrugged and said,"You know what? I don't care. I comforted a family and get to be in the OR today. All is good."

Cristina shrugged and asked, "Does anybody know why we're even in here?" I also shrugged and sipped on my coffee even more as Derek entered the room.

I bit my lip as he begun speaking," Well good morning. I'm going to do something pretty rare for a surgeon, I'm going to ask interns for help. I've got this kid, Katie Bryce. Right now, she's a mystery. She doesn't respond to her meds."

"Labs are clean, scans are pure, but she's having seizures. Grand mal seizures with no visible cause. She's a ticking clock. She's going to die, if I don't make a diagnosis. Which is where you come in. I can't do it alone. I need your extra minds, extra eyes, I need you to play detective, I need you to find out why Katie is having seizures. I know you're tired, you're busy, you've got more work than you could possibly handle."

"I understand. So, I'm going to give you an incentive. Whoever finds the answer rides with me. Katie needs surgery. You get to do what no interns get to do. Scrub in to assist on an advanced procedure. Dr Bailey's going to hand you Katie's chart. The clock is ticking fast, people. If we're going to save Katie's life, we have to do it soon."

We grabbed charts then I begun walking when I heard Karev talking with that same nurse about the older woman.

"Look, just give the antibiotics time to work," he stated, shrugging. I gritted my teeth as the nurse protested,"But the antibiotics should've already worked."

" She's old, she's freaking ancient. She's lucky she's still breathing. Now, I got a shot to scrub in downstairs and a patient who wasn't alive during the civil war. Don't page me again," he snapped. Someone approached me and said, "You look like you're ready to kill someone."
