All The Love That We Shared (Body of proof fanfic)

bug troubles

Whilst Megan waited at the elevator, she looked round at the art on the walls frowning at their art choice but she would grow to like it eventually. Megan felt her phone buzz deep in her bag so, she reached deeply into the bag and grabbed her phone only to see Tommy’s caller Id  which made Megan shake and she could feel herself get all clammed up and her throat tightening up as if she was having a slight panic attack. Megan pushed the ignore button and shoved her phone back into her bag when she heard the elevator ding bringing her attention back to reality she walked into the elevator and smiled at a gentlemen in a suit and a hospital Id.

The elevator dinged in forming Megan that it was the fourth floor so, she left the elevator only to hear the smart guy say.

“wow, if all the nurses like you are that hot, this is my new favourite place to work” the gentleman winked at Megan who felt her cheeks blush and smiled at the gentlemen  before walking off wiggling her hips as she walked down the corridor.

Megan walked down the corridor when she saw her name written on the door and an empty office waiting for her to fill it with her own comforts. Megan walked into her office, placed her bag on the desk, walked round to the other side of the desk, and sat down in the chair testing it out. Megan spun round on the chair ending up with her back to the door oblivious that someone was standing in the doorway watching her smiling brightly.

Minutes later Megan spun back round only to blush slightly not realising that someone was in the doorway.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” a tall and rather handsome man said in dark blue scrubs.

“Oh it’s fine, so..” Megan said not sure what to say.

“Sorry I’m Dr Sheppard head neurosurgeon here at North-East General, are you ready for your first surgery with us?, I will be doing a craniotomy and you will be doing the extraction Dr Hunt”

“Oh I am always ready, let’s do this” Megan felt nausea rise in her but she pushed it a side.

Megan followed Dr Sheppard along the corridor and down OR 3 where she was handed red scrubs and told to change into them.

Megan walked back into the room where she scrubbed her hands and arms with the antibacterial soap but the smell of the soap was not helping but Megan tried to hide it the best she could but the nurse next to her noticed and smiled sweetly.

“Hi Dr Hunt, I’m surgical Nurse Samuels and I will be helping with the surgery today and I will be setting your surgical equipment rep on every surgery but you can call me Gwen”

“Good to meet you Nurse Samuels, look forward to working with you,” Megan said smiling at the small brown-haired woman.

Once Megan was sterilized she used her elbow to open the door to the OR and walked into the OR only to feel herself feel rather sick and her stomach was churning and all she wanted to do was gag at the strong smell off antiseptic cleaners but, she was greeted by the rest of the team who greeted her warmly so she had to put on a brave face for everyone but once again Gwen noticed the look on Megan’s face when she walked into the OR.

“Okay, everyone this is Dr Hunt and she will be assisting me on this surgery , so please help her and make her job easy” Dr Sheppard said putting his hands into the gloves that the surgical nurse was holding out.

Megan put her hands into her gloves that Nurse Samuels was holding out for her.

“Ok let’s do this everyone,” Dr Sheppard said moving closer to the unconscious body of a young boy who had server swelling on the brain.  Megan walked over next to Dr Sheppard and watched his every move.

“Drill please” the surgical nurse handed Dr Sheppard the drill, which made a loud sound as it made contact with the skull.

“I won’t be here to help you on your next surgery; you will be going solo” Megan could not help but smile at the thought of doing her first surgery at this hospital.

It was Megan’s turn to take the drill when she felt the nausea suddenly appear but she tried to brush it aside as she took the drill but as soon as the drill touched her hands, she began to reach. Megan shoved the drill into her nearest scrubs nurses hands excused herself and rushed off into the toilet. Megan rushed into the toilet not looking where she was going she bumped into a nurse who moved seeing Megan’s hand over her mouth. She bent down to the toilet and emptied her stomach. Megan waited a few minutes when she felt the sickness come again but this time she felt a pair of comforting hands on her back and someone was holding her hair back. Minutes later Megan felt a bit better but she clearly was not well.

“Thank you” Megan said getting up and looking at Gwen her equipment nurse.

“You’re welcome, it’s always never racking the first surgery but it will get better”

“Oh it’s not that, I have had this sickness but a while now but at the moment it seems to be getting worse”

“Are you sure it’s just a sickness bug?” Gwen asked frowning.

“Yeah, I’m sure” Megan said putting on her false smile that Gwen would soon know all too well.

“Ok If your sure, I was just asking because you being a doctor I would have thought you knew that Sickness doesn’t carry on this long that’s all” Gwen said giving Megan a worried look.

“I am sure it’s just a bug and it will pass”

“Ok if you’re sure Megan” Gwen held the door open for Megan and they went back to re-sterilize and go back to the surgery and apologize but Dr Sheppard was very understanding.

Megan left the hospital and arrived home physically exhausted and tired which was how she had been feeling lately and the sickness was wiping her out but she still put it down to a stomach bug but deep down Megan did have an idea and the only thing she could do was to go and find out the truth.
