Ben just finished giving Pierre, who works in scheduling, his coffee for this morning. He has been doing this for months because he really wanted Miranda to get the space she needed. There were times when he would see her, in the parking lot at night, and the cafeteria during lunch, and every time he would either walk slower or go the other direction.
He sometimes would just stare; she was beautiful, and he didn't think it was possible, but she seemed to be getting even more beautiful as time passed. She would change her hair and some days he just wanted to compliment her. He also noticed her subtle weight gain and he thought she looked incredibly sexy. This was all frustrating to Ben he was hoping eventually she would come around so he could stop feeling like a stalker.
Ben shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts as he made his rounds. He walked into his first patient's room and heard a nurse fussing with his resident.
"Good morning, uh what's going on?" Ben asked confused.
His intern began to speak but was cut off by the nurse. " Your Resident is an idiot. " The nurse said folding his arms.
" First, don't disrespect him, and can we please be professional adults and let's not argue in front of a patient," Ben said getting pissed off and ushering his hands toward the door. " Excuse me, mam. I apologize for my co-workers showing unprofessional attitudes. " Ben apologized sincerely and walked out of the door.
Ben met the both of them in a meeting room and Ben listen to the nurse's unreasonable concerns.
" It's an epidural, things like this happen, this is normal. You don't get to speak to any of my Residents this way, they are still learning, and things like this will happen, if you haven't noticed this is a teaching hospital, Josh you may excuse yourself, I'll handle this" Ben stated walking out of the room once again.
He walked to the nurses' station and open his patient's chart, just as Derek walked up. " Hey what's going on?" Shepard asked.
"Dr. Warren's Resident punctured the dura of your patient from this morning during what should have been a routine epidural." The nurse explained looking at Derek, leaning on the counter.
"Okay first of all there is no such thing as anything routine after a patient's had surgery and you have no right to yell at my Resident." Ben gritted calmly. "It was spinal fluid all over her bed. " Eli raised his voice.
Ben had to pause, he didn't know who this little boy was talking to, he really needed to grow up.
"How is the patient?" Derek asked. " I just checked on her, she is stable and pain-free." Ben replied looking over at Eli.
Your Resident was sloppy and rough." Eli gritted with his arms crossed clearly showing that he was agitated.
"You have no idea how difficult epidurals are." Ben snapped looking at this arrogant fool.
"Because I'm a nurse?" Eli questioned.
Ben was tired of talking with him, he had no respect for others. "Watch your tone with me." Ben scowled at him and use his warning voice.
"Or what? What are you going to do?" Eli yelled.
" Okay guys, guys Break it up... walk away... We are done. Walk away. " Derek said holding his hands up.
When Derek and Ben walked to the other side of the counter, Derek said " I get why you are mad at the guy, but if you are going to have a fight about Bailey, do it on your own time."
"Fight about Bailey?" Ben questioned " wait- wait nooo Ba- Bailey's with him?!" Ben asked pointing in the direction of Eli with disbelief.
" I should go," Derek stated turning around.
