Savior || The Resident

Chapter 3

Ashley POV

I ran towards her room as my pager was continuously beeping.

As I ran Conrad joined me. "Lily?" He asked. I nodded my head.

We entered her room when we saw Devon trying to cut her pressure.

"Oh God" Nic said in relief as she saw us.

"Her pressure's crashing. We need a central line now" Nic said. I went forward to do it when Conrad stopped me holding my hand.

"I can see that. Go on.." he said to Devon.

"Conrad, seriously.." Nic tried. "You heard me"

"She's right. You should do it, not me" Devon said.

"Then why are you here? Premed, med school, MCATs. Was that just for fun...come on. Be a doctor..or go be something else" Conrad.

Devon looked at me. I looked at Conrad. "Go on...do it" I told Devon.

"Her stats are slipping. Pressure's 70/38 and dropping fast" Nic said.

"Okay" Devon said as he cut Lily's neck. Conrad went forwards.

"Keep going. So far, you haven't killed her" he said.

" Start at five micrograms.Titrate up as needed" Devon said to Nic. She looked at Conrad.

"Don't look at him. I'm right, and you know it" he said.

"What next?"

"When her pressure levels out, wear her off the norepi and then drown her in fluids" Devon said.

I sighed in relief as I knew he was right. "Congratulations. We just busted your cherry" Conrad said.

Devon looked at me. "Okay...your too good. Like extremely good" I said. He gave a small smile.

Conrad POV

Devon stood outside looking at Chloe, the brain dead girl through the window.

"Where's Chloe's family?" I asked.

"They just left for the first time. The mom was sleeping in there in case she woke up" he said looking down.

"You're done. You can go home" I said. He stood for a second and walked away without looking at me.

I looked at him walking away. He looked worried. I ran to catch him.

"Hey!" I shouted. He stopped. "I want to show you something" I said and showed him a photo.

"Annabeth. Five. She had cancer. I was a first year, just like you. I gave her too much potassium. She died....from me, not the cancer" I said.

I looked at Ash standing far talking to a patient. "You see her. Tell me what you see in her?" I asked him.

He looked at Ashley. "One of the best Doctors" he said. "The best" I added.

"She was the Resident here with me. Both first years, first day. Her first patients were her parents" I said. He looked at me.

"They had a accident. On her first day as Resident. Tried saving both, tried saving at least one. She couldn't" I said looking at her.

"Still feels it was her mistake. And I've been trying to say that its not for the past three years. No luck" I said.

"That's what has made her the best doctor today. If it we're easy, everyone would be a doctor, because this is the best job in the whole world. Despite everything. Because of everything" both of us looked at Ashley.
