Broken Doctor | Connor Rhodes 'discontinued'

Part 11;

I hear my alarm going off. I turn around towards t making the most unhuman noise ever. 9 AM. Oh shit, Con is coming to lift us, and I have to see Dr. Charles. I get out of my bed, feeling a pain in my throat, probably just viral, so I'll let it be, maybe I'll take a paracetamol. I walk to my sofa and see Myke lying on it.

"GET UP!" I shout. She darts up in a flash.

"Fuck sake Alex, trying to kill me or something?"

"Nooooo...." I laugh.

I walk towards my bathroom, I go inside, wash my face, do my makeup, get dressed. All that jazz. I walk out of the bathroom and toward my drawer with medication, it has all the antidepressants that I didn't take. I find the paracetamol and get a glass of water and down it. I hear a knock at the door, oh it must be Connor, I dander over to the door and open it. "Come in, Myke will be ready in a minute" I say with a cough in between

"Okay thanks" he says and walks through the door, I close it behind him, he looks at the paracetamol on my table and asks.

"Are you Okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" I say in a hoarse voice.

"You don't sound like it, let me have a look"

"Con, it's fine really, I think it's something viral"

"Well it doesn't hurt it have to check does it" He says nearing me

"Okay fine.." He comes over and asks.

"Can you open your mouth"

"HEY WHATS GOING ON IN THERE" Myke shouts from the bathroom I just came from.
"Nothing! Conor's looking to see if I have a infection in my throat!" I tell her.

"Oh.. Okay.." she says in a disappointed voice.
"Oh Conor, there is some lollipop sticks and gloves in that drawer" I let him know. He walks over and gets them and puts the gloves on, he walks towards me and I open my mouth, he holds my tongue down with the lollipop stick and takes the light from his pocket in his uniform, I usually get dressed at work, but I guess it's probably better to get dressed at home, anyway he shines the light down my throat. He looks for a second, trying to figure out my diagnosis. He turns the light off, throws the lollipop stick and gloves in the bin and says,
"I think you have tonsillitis, it looks worse than the usual one, you'd better get it checked out, you should ask Will when we are at med"

"Okay thanks Connor, are you ready Myke?" I shout

At Med:
(Myke and Alex have entered the the E.D)
I walk through the door of med, seeing all of my colleagues looking as I walk through the E.D, the news spreads fast. I continue walking towards the nurses station when I see Will, my throat has been killing me so much since this morning I need to get it checked out, "Yo, Halstead, do you have time for a consult with me?" I say in a really bad voice. He mustn't of noticed me because he replies with, "Oh, Alex! Yeah sure, I think room 3 is open".

"Myke, you probably have a lot to discuss with Dr. Charles, I'll join after my consult" I tell her as I follow Will into the room. I hop onto the bed while Will cleans his hands and puts on gloves.

"I guess you have a throat infection with the way you talk, so I'll check now" Will says as he gets his equipment, I take a minute to watch Will work, it's spectacular. He turns round from the table with some equipment.

"Open your mouth please", I did as I was asked and he did the same as Con, he put the lollipop stick on my throat to hold it down and used a light to see.

"It's looks like pharyngitis, so it can't be passed, let me check your ears to see if they are red" he tells me. I turn my head around so my ear is in front of Will. When he finished in the finish ear I turn my head to position my other ear in front of him, and he checks it.

"Yeah, pharyngitis, so I'm gonna prescribe you some NSAIDs", Will said as he was writing down my prescription, he hands me the paper and asks me, "Are you free tonight, we have to chat about the thing" he says as he hands me my prescription.

"Sorry not tonight Will, I just want to lie up and watch a movie maybe tomorrow", I say with a sympathetic smile.

"Yeah, no worries" he tells me as he puts his gloves and all some of the equipment in the bin.

"Bye Will", I shout as I walk out the door.
"I'm always here if you need a shoulder to lean on", I hear him say. I walk over to the nurses station when I see Maggie's hands rub her temples.

"You okay Maggs?" I ask her.

"Yeah, were down a doc, and the place is packed" She says in an overworked voice, so Will wasn't free, the E.D was full..

"Hey Maggie, if you need a doc, I can stay until 7"

"Really? That would be a great help!"

"Yep, no problem, I just need to see Dr. Charles, and go to the pharmacy, then I'm all yours"

"Thanks so much Alex", she whisper screams and gives me a hug for a second then let's go and smiles at me.

"No problem, I'll be back" I check my watch and see it says, 10:18 "Around quarter to 10, so I have time to get dressed and to get signed in" I say smiling, and she replies with a smile, then I turn around walking towards the psychiatric ward

OUTSIDE DR. CHARLES' OFFICE
I knock on his door and enter Dr. Charles' room, I take a seat beside Myke, and I ask, "So what medication am I gonna take?".

"So Dr. Cox and I have agreed on you taking Prozac, Xanax and Effexor. The Prozac and Effexor is taken one in the morning and the Xanax is taken in the morning and afternoon"

"Okay thanks, do you have the script down up? I'm working today", I ask him.

"You shouldn't be working Alex", Myke says.

"Is it done?", I ask again a little bit annoyed.

"Yes", he answers and hands it to me, I walk out of his office and towards the pharmacy, I'm glad it's near so I down have to walk far. Get to the pharmacy and hand in my scripts to the pharmacist, I'm never down her so I don't know anyone. I wait until she calls my name and take the bags filled with my medication.

Then I walk back to the doctors staff room. I put my medication on the table then go to my locker and take out my uniform, I go to the dressing room and get dressed, and put on my doctors lab-coat, I never wear it but I decided to today. I go over to the kitchen part of the room, take out a glass and fill it with water, I place it on the table beside my medication and take a seat, I take the pill boxes out of the bag, and I take them all, one at a time, and set a reminder on my phone to take the Xanax and the other NSAIDs. Now time for a work..
