My New Doctor

Chapter 32

Rachel's POV

I woke up feeling like pure shit, great stuff I thought, just when I thought I had gotten through most of it life throws this at me too. I have no idea what's wrong but I don't like it, my ears are really painful, my throat is sore, I feel as though someone is sat on my chest and my nose is messed up and to top it all off I had to go get my cast off today, let the agony of physio begin I guess.

I got out of bed and went and got dressed into a pair of shorts as its one of the only things that I can fit my cast through, I matched them with a light turquoise coloured top with the hippie sign in the centre. I was meeting harry at the hospital as he was working and so I grabbed my bag stuffed some tissues in there for my runny nose and made my way out on my crutches after sliding down the stairs on my bottom.

My phone buzzed indicating a message had come through just as I was getting on the bus, 'morning princess, don't forget your appointment is in half an hour, Haz x' the text read and i felt my heart speed up. As the bus neared my stop I pressed the button to show I wanted to get off, as I got off the bus there was a gang of boys standing in the street, as I approached them one walked straight up to me and my heart sped up in fear as I contemplated their possible actions, "have you got a lighter by any chance?" He asked, I shook my head no, "okay sorry to bother you" he said before smiling and walking away. After that I calmed down a bit and made it to the hospital in about 5 minutes. I walked into the reception and walked to the desk and saw that Lucy was working, "morning rach, Harry's just with a patient but he should be done soon" she smiled

"Okay thanks" I replied and sat in one of the chairs and pulled out a tissue for my nose. I was starting to feel anxious here and then harry walked up to me "orite love? Coming through with me?" I nodded and stood up following him to his office and sitting down.

Harry's POV

Rachel looked rough when she came in, I could tell there was something wrong just by looking at here but getting her to let me find out what could be hard. "How you feeling babe? You don't look too clever"

"Just got a cold I think" she replied

"Can I take a look?" I asked hesitantly to which shook her head "I'm fine just a cold"

"That's what you think, let me find out, it'll take me 5 minutes maximum" I tried and I could see her thinking about it and she faintly mumbled out a 'yeah' so I grabbed my stethoscope first and started with her heart and lungs, "deep breaths babe" I said moving it around on her chest, "and just breathe normally and I'll check your heart" I smiled at her. I took her blood pressure which was a bit low and then her temperature which was high before moving on to her ears and she winced as I put my otoscope into her left ear, "sorry babe I'll be quick" I apologised changing to look in her left ear, I then grabbed a tongue depressor and a light "open up babe" she opened her mouth a tiny bit and I just looked at her, "what?" She said

"I couldn't see in there even if I had a magnifying glass" I teased "now open really big for me yeah?" She nodded and did as I asked.

After finishing the quick exam i prescribed some medication to help the virus go quicker and hopefully she'll feel better soon.

We had 5 minutes to get to orthopaedics for her appointment so we made our way across the hospital.

Rachel's POV

We got to the place where my appointment was and Harry went to book me in. A few minutes later the receptionist called my name and showed us the way to the exam room.

Harry knocked on the door and entered and I followed behind him, we took a seat in front of the desk and the man said "hello, my name is Dr Davies and I'm going to be looking after you whilst your I our care for your ankle injury, you must me Rachel yes?" I nodded my head "and you are?"

"Harry, Harry styles" he relied shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you both, I'd like to start by taking the cast off if that's ok?" He said to which I just nodded getting extremely nervous.

"Come and say on the bed for me please" I walked over and sat on the bed "just put your feet up and try and relax for me" I did as he asked and harry held my hand from beside me. He pulled out this machine thing that's he was going to take my cast off with and it really freaked me out, I started to panic and I was struggling to breathe. "Shh, calm down princess, just relax, deep breaths there's nothing to worry about" I tried to calm down and it was working a little bit but not enough "rach it won't hurt honest, it tickles a little but it won't hurt, I won't be able to cut your skin either so don't panic" I calmed down a lot after that and he started to cut it off.
"Okay so I just want to take a look now and have a quick feel then I'll get your brace and call the physio therapist in. He was pushing all around my foot and ankle and it was so painful the tears were just pouring down my face. "It's okay princess I've got you, your okay I promise, I know it hurts but it'll be over soon" harry whispered.

An hour later and we finally left there, the physio person didn't do much but putting the brace on was excruciatingly painful. Harry only had two patients left today so I waited for him so I didn't have to bus back home again.

Harry's POV

After we finished with Rachel I had to see Lilly and her mother Sandra.
They walked in and Lilly looked happy and cheerful but Sandra looked petrified. "Hello nice to see you again" I smiled "please, take a seat". They sat down and I asked who's first and Sandra said Lilly was and so she followed me over to the bed and I examined her "your all fixed sweetheart!" I said and she smiled "has your poo-poos stopped hurting too?" I asked and she nodded, "then I guess you all good then"
"Thanks" she beamed.
She went and sat back by Sandra and I discharged her on the system before pulling up Sandra's notes and having a quick scan. "You ready?" I asked but I could see her hands shaking and I saw a small tear trickle down her cheek "Lilly how would you like to go and play with the toys in the waiting room?" I asked and she nodded happily "don't worry my sister will keep and eye on her" I told Sandra before leading Lilly out to Rachel, "Lilly this is Rachel and she's going to look after you until your ready to go, is that okay?" I asked Lilly but also asking Rachel at the same time and they both nodded, I mouthed a quick 'thank you' to Rachel and headed back to the exam room.
"Okay Sandra I just need you to calm down and tell me what's bothering you okay?" I said looking directly into her eyes and smiling
"I can't do this, please just let me go, I can't be here" she said crying.
