He caught sight of someone else being rushed from the room but then there was a light in his eyes. Nurses started pulling things off of him while a doctor asked him questions and checked his vitals.
"My name is Dr. Elizar, but you can call me Rachel." He blinked at her. And then the nurses seemed to back off for a moment. "I'm going to remove your breathing tube now, David. It might be a little painful, and if you have to puke, Nathan has a garbage can right there."
David. Is that my name?
