"You'll going great, and you're blood is pumping through your system at a much safer and healthier rate. In a few weeks you should be ready to go home, Mr. Wentoki." I inform an ill Brikonisaur. I have now finished my rounds of ward 20, just two more wards to take care of. I pull my veil over my face before proceeding to the lift.
On the way I walk past a man who gives me a judging look. I bow my head out of politeness for I am used to those looks. They look at me like that because I am different to them, I am "a cat lady" as some people I have met seem to call me.
I push the button on the lift and stand patiently for the lift to come. Ward 21 is my favourite ward. This ward has all the new born babies in it.
The lift arrives and the doors open. I hastily enter the lift, closing the doors behind me. 'Ward 21, please." I command the automatic system.
"Yes, Madame." The automatic voice calls, bringing me up to ward 21. "Have a nice day!" The voice calls as I exit the lift.
I walk down the long hospital corridor towards the nurses office. On entering some of the nurses in the room greet me. I grab my blue pen from my small desk in the corner.
"Are you doing your rounds already, Nurse Hame?" Nurse Lendon asks bowing her head. I bow mine before replying.
"Yes. I worry so much about the health of the little ones." I say as I reach the door. I hurriedly leave the room, to return to my rounds.
The first room in the ward is the room of a young lady named Grominen Flaster. She is but 14 years old. A tough pregnancy, though she has made it and the baby is alive.
I grab the clipboard from the edge of the room before making my way over to her bed. The baby was born only yesterday, so Mrs Flaster is (understandably) exhausted.
"How is she?" Mrs Flaster asked weakly, placing her hand on her baby girls face. I look in the cot at a small baby. Her little eyes were wide open as if she was trying to take the world in all at once. She cooed quietly at the touch of her mother. I scanned her to see the information concerning her health.
"She's doing fine. She'll need to be fed soon. But she seems to be very happy. She's going to be just fine, Mrs. Flaster." I say, putting the scanner away. I reach for a syringe on the table next to me and pull some Collinoni out of a bag.
"Now, we need to get this into your system. It's Collinoni. This won't hurt." I lie, gently pushing the tip of the needle into the flesh of her arm. I slowly inject the liquid into her before pulling out the syringe. The Collinoni prevents injury in pregnancy, such as this one, where the mother is young.
"That's you done." I tell her, putting the syringe down.
"Thank you, nurse. When will I be able to leave?" Mrs. Flaster inquired.
"In a few days, your daughter may have to stay a little longer than you..." I manage say before being interrupted.
"Nurse Hame! Nurse Hame! Please, you must come quickly, it's an emergency! It's the Doctor!" An apprentice nurse burst through the door causing chaos and confusion.
"Slow down, Nurse James. Did you say the Doctor?" I ask patiently, attempting to calm her down.
"Yes the Doctor! Please, you must come immediately!" Nurse James orders, leading the way out of the room.
"I am sorry about this. But I must attend to this emergency." I inform Mrs. Flaster before hastily
leaving the room and following Nurse James. I pull down my vail again, to be polite.
"What's this 'emergency'?" I question, rushing along behind Nurse James.
"Well he appeared in the strange blue box, as usual. He says it's his wife, River. I believe you have tended to her before, have you not?" Nurse James inquires, buzzing with the excitement of her story.
"Yes, yes I have." I reply waiting for her to continue.
"Well he refuses to have any one else tend to her but you!" She burst out with exasperation.
"This must be serious if it's a problem he can't fix on his own" I say as we reach the lobby.
I notice a familiar blue box parked in the reception area. Leaning on the door, a familiar man."Hello, Nurse Hame. I have come with a patient needing serious medical attention!" The Doctor says rushing over to me.
"What's wrong?" I inquire, following him towards the TARDIS.
"It's River. I can't wake her up and the scanner showed me some strange readings. I just don't know what to do to help her. Oh, this is all my fault!" the Doctor panicked, guilt shredding through his voice.
"Take me to her, I'll see what I can do. I am certain that this is not your fault" I reply entering the, bigger on the inside, box. It clangs as we enter as if welcoming us but hurrying us at the same time.
'Quick, you must help my child!' I hear in my head. Was that the TARDIS? It wouldn't surprise me.
The Doctor hurriedly finds the room with the red cross on it. He runs in towards a medical cot. I follow him and when I reach to the cot I see the face of River song.
I can barely recognise her. Her face is pale and sweat lines her brow. She continuously murmurs in her sleep, and pain etches her every feature. I rest my hand on her forehead to check her temperature. After a few seconds I pull my hand back. It hurts from the heat radiating from River's forehead.
"That's bad..." I say out loud, realising the Doctor is in the room.
"What? Please tell me." he pleads, pressing me for answers.
"Show me the scans! Quickly!" I rush. River is in a terrible condition. Will I ever be able to help her? Am I capable of something this dangerous? I sure hope so, for River's sake.
The Doctor pulls the scanner to where I can see it.
