The two were the best of friends, they did nearly everything together and her leaving like she did broke a part of him.

Abigail Snyder hobbles into the medical office suffering from a broken right foot. The receptionist greets her and begins asking her personal questions that everyone in the waiting room can hear the answers to. Abigail tries talking softly, but the receptionist repeats her answers loudly enough so all can hear them. Abigail feels compelled to answer the questions because they pertain to her medical case.

My alarm went off at 6:00 am. "Thank God it's Friday," I whispered to myself as I got ready for the day. We still haven't found a case yet, this was just going to be another boring day at the hospital I guess. After I got ready I got in my car and drove to New York Mercy Hospital, which was only about 5 miles away. "Hey Jacobs, we got a case." Wilson said, handing me the file. I worked with two other Doctors; Zachary Wilson and James Miller. We take the medical cases that no other doctors can figure out. I got a cup of coffee and sat down at the table. "23 year old girl comes in after continually banging her head on the wall, says she had no idea

lost a lot of blood.” “Oh my gosh, she’s that bad?” ask Pam. “Yes, I’m afraid to tell you that she was sexually assaulted multiple times and badly beaten, looking at her wounds, she’s been out in the woods for days because she’s very dehydrated, whoever did this probably thought she was dead, but when she was brought in to us she still had a pulse.” “So, is she going to make it?” “At this time like I said, she’s very critical, we’re doing everything we can to save her, but we have to just pray.” “I can’t believe this, who would do this.” “Well Maam, if you have any concerns or if you need to ask me any questions ask the nurse to page me.” “Thank you Doctor.” “You’re quite welcome.” The Doctor got up and walked away. After the Doctor walked

“She’s going to be mad, I really hope you know what you’re doing girl.” said Lisa. “I do.” Lisa and the crew left. Angelica sat in the waiting room, praying that Nine is okay. Hours had passed, Angelica dosed off, while sleeping the Doctor and the police walked up to her and said, “Excuse me Ma'am, Are you related to the deceased?” “Deceased.” said Angelica. The police said, “Maam, Are you related to her?” “No I’m not, I’m just a friend.” “Well, Maam it was brought to our attention that the deceased was brought in by you and other females, Where are the rest of the females who brought her in?” ask the police. “They left.” answered Angelica. “Maam, Come with us, we need to ask you a couple of questions.” said the officer. “I can’t, I have to get home.” said Angelica. “Please, come with us now, if you refused to come with us and answer a couple of questions we’ll be forced to hold you for 24 hours.” Angelica got up and followed the police officer to the

In the past, Mandy and some of the nurses had been witnessing to Cindy when she came to her appointments. She told Cindy she was very sorry and would speak to the doctor about her problem. Cindy immediately dismissed Mandy’s suggestion- she wasn’t willing to have special help due to her situation. Cindy pessimistically informed Mandy she would no longer be coming to the clinic for care.

“I’ll tell the nurse you’re here.” she opened a door and went down the hallway. The couple sat on the sofa. Soon several other family members arrived, after greeting each other, they sat down on the chairs. While waiting for news about the young couple, they made small talk, discussing the seriousness of the accident and each one relating stories about previous accidents involving them.

While Caitlin didn't say a thing, it made her more nervous than it should to see Joe leave the lab, but at least, Iris took her day off to

The hospital reeked of sadness, grief, and appalling hospital grub. My family and I sat in peace, trying to grasp the dreadful news the doctor had just shared. 2 weeks to prepare for what would forever be one of the hardest days of my life. I crumpled up the pamphlet immediately with tears streaming down my face. A billion questions flooded the mind of an 8 year old. Why would this happen to her? Why can’t they just make her better? What am I supposed to do without her?

“I’m sorry Ma'am, Doctor Brunner is with a patient, Can I have your name and number and I’ll have him to call you back.” said the caller. “Yes, my niece's name is Angelica Samuel's, she’s one of his patients, her mother name is Marie Samuel's, the reason I’m calling is because Angelicas crying, saying that her head hurts real bad, she’s in excruciating pain, her mother is in the room now trying to comfort her, could you please have him call us back as soon as possible.” “I sure will.” said the caller. “Thank you.” “you’re quite welcome.” “Bye.” said aunt Lori. Then she hung up and rushed back in the room. As she was helping Marie to comfort Angelica, the phone rung. Aunt Lori rushed to answer it, “Hello.” she answered. “Yes, this is Doctor Brunner, may I speak with Marie Samuel's please.” said the Doctor. “Yes, hold on a second.” Aunt Lori called out for Marie. She rushed to the phone, while being on the phone with the Doctor, Aunt Lori rushed back to the room. Marie explained everything to do the Doctor. After talking to the Doctor, Marie went back in Angelicas room and gave her 2 pain pills that were prescribed by the Doctor earlier. After about an hour, Angelicas head stop hurting. “Mom, I feel better.” said Angelica. “That’s good, the Doctor said that when your head starts to hurt to give you two pain pills instead of one, that’ll ease your pain.” “By giving her two, will that cause any side effects.” ask Aunt Lori. “No, he said it’ll help her when she’s in

She closed her eyes and uttered out a sigh of relief. She was pleased that she made it to the Police Department without anything happening. A smile turned at the corner of her lips. “Hey, Patty are you okay?” The sound of his voice brought a smile to her lips, her head shook. “Everything is fine Barry. Is Joe in yet?” She asked her eyes opening to look at him. “Yeah, he’s over at his desk.” He lifted his hand up and pointed at Joe's desk. “Thanks, I’ll talk to you later.” She flashed him a smile and walked over to Joe. “Joe.” She spoke his name in a soft whisper. She reached her hand up brushing her hair out of her face and pinning it behind her ear. “I think someone is following me.” She cocked her head to the side and lifted her hands up in the air. “I know it sounds crazy but I really thank

The smattering of rain on the roof overhead calms me, beating out an irregular rhythm like an anxious child unconsciously tapping his foot. The dim glow of my phone screen washes over me as I wait for the light to return, cut off by the flash flood inducing rain. I look around, and sigh; yet again, the lights on the ceiling are blank, leaving me with nothing to shield myself from the impending darkness.

“It’s written all over your face!” She laughs obnoxiously. “I don’t!” I turn to the side and there is Sarah snorting like a pig, I punch her in the arm. “Hey Arabelle” I turn to see phoenix smiling. We both go dead silent and then start laughing uncontrollably, Us laughing might be the most lifting thing in this depressing hospital. “What?” He asks clueless “She lo-“ I step hard on Sarah’s foot “Ow!” She stops laughing and so do I. “What’s up Phoenix?” I say trying to be chill but it comes out with little giggles in between each letter. He looks upset now “I’m actually looking for you…” His voice trails off, why me? “Why?” “My little sis wants to hang out with you, I guess?” “Oh! Okay totally” Sarah and I make eye contact and smirk at each other then look back at Phoenix. “Just follow me ladies” and with that we walk from the bathrooms to the elevator. “How’d y’all meet?” Sarah asks trying to annoy me “Well we-“ “We ran into each other” Phoenix cuts me off “Oh really?” Sarah says pretending to be interested, but in reality she’s more interested in annoying me. We walk past one waiting room full of people coughing and sniffing, this hospital never seems to stop working. The elevators are now in view “Arabelle!” Chris gets in front of me “Why are you wondering the hospital? You should be with dad!” “Oh yeah? Where have you been for three days huh?!” The sudden tone change in my voice gets multiple people’s attention in the waiting room. “Get out of my way” I say gently

She prays impatiently in the emergency room to hear if her baby girl will survive or not. The doctor opens the door and walks with his head down toward the lady. She drops to her knees in disbelief. She opens her mouth to speak, but only silent cries escape. The doctor soothers her and discusses the possibility of organ donation. She looks up in hope. Still nothing comes from her mouth, but she nods to show the doctor she understands. In another section of the waiting room, a family waits for the news of a transplant for their boy. They pray their little boy will come out healthy with a new heart. A doctor enters the room, and the family stares at him, waiting for answers. The doctor walks more confidently, greeting the hopeful family. The family hugs the doctor as they smile with relief. A medical team takes their son out of the room for immediate transplant surgery. The gift of life in organ donation saves thousands of lives and impacts many more.
