`` so get ready to be on your toes today . ''
|
megan laughed .
|
`` okay , sounds good . ''
|
as they started working their way through patients , things continued to escalate into overwhelming territory for megan .
|
kristi seemed to be experiencing the same feeling since the tops of her cheeks had a shine of perspiration beads on them .
|
the moment they finished with one patient and disinfected the room , another patient was waiting to enter it .
|
megan followed behind kristi as she went to poke her head in to the registration area .
|
`` hey janet , could you not call anyone else back ?
|
we 're getting swamped . ''
|
janet shook her head .
|
`` it 's just as crazy out in the waiting room .
|
like we 're almost overflowing . ''
|
kristi rolled her eyes .
|
`` fabulous .
|
it 's probably another full moon , which makes things absolutely insane . ''
|
she turned back to megan .
|
`` listen , since we 're so swamped , can you take the man in exam b ? ''
|
megan could n't help her eyes from widening .
|
`` really ?
|
on my own ? ''
|
kristi smiled before patting megan 's hand .
|
`` i 've seen you in action the last week .
|
i have faith in you . ''
|
`` okay , if you 're sure . ''
|
`` i 'm positive . ''
|
megan could n't contain her smile .
|
`` thank you . ''
|
taking her ipad , she flipped open the registration details on the patient awaiting her .
|
when she pushed open the door , she eyed the man on the examining table .
|
`` good evening mr. robertson , i 'm megan .
|
what- '' before she could even get out the standard `` what seems to be the problem ? ''
|
question , the man started shaking his head furiously .
|
`` no , no .
|
i wo n't let you examine me .
|
i want a doctor .
|
a male doctor .
|
you understand ? ''
|
`` sir , i understand , but i have to follow protocol , which is to ascertain your issues before the doctor comes in .
|
i see on the chart that you 're experiencing some abdominal swelling ? ''
|
he refused to meet her eye .
|
instead , he gazed over at the wall before holding up one finger to her .
|
`` i meant what i said .
|
i demand to see a male doctor . ''
|
`` yes , but we 're very backed up this afternoon .
|
i 'm not sure how long it will be before you are able to see a doctor , least of all a male doctor . ''
|
when it appeared the man 's resolve was fading a little , megan took a tentative step forward .
|
`` please , if you would just let me take a look at your abdomen . ''
|
`` it is n't my stomach , '' he mumbled .
|
`` then what is it ? ''
|
when he did n't respond , she sighed with frustration .
|
`` mr. robertson , you can not ignore abdominal swelling .
|
it can stem from many issues and have many repercussions . ''
|
he shifted uncomfortably on the table .
|
just when she thought she was making headway with him , he threw his head back and began screaming at the top of his lungs .
|
`` get me a male doctor ! ''
|
megan rolled her eyes .
|
the first time she had the chance to see a patient on her own , and he had to be a stark raving lunatic .
|
refusing to give into him or accept defeat , she stalked over to him .
|
she was going to exam his sexist ass if it was the last thing she did .
|
`` keep screaming , and i 'll call security , '' she warned before snatching the sheet off him .
|
his screams cut off to a shriek as he clawed for the sheet , but the damage was done .
|
she had seen more than enough .
|
`` oh .
|
my .
|
god , '' she murmured .
|
she gazed wide-eyed and open-mouthed at what had to be the poster child picture to go along with the warning labels on viagra and cialis for four-hour erections .
|
`` that 's going to have to be aspirated . ''
|
`` excuse me ? ''
|
he demanded .
|
she cocked her head at him .
|
`` the excessive blood in your penis ? ''
|
he nodded .
|
`` it 's not just going to go away on its own .
|
it has to be aspirated , which means drained out . ''
|
mr. robertson swallowed hard .
|
`` like with a needle ? ''
|
`` yes , with a very large needle . ''
|
when he started to protest , she brought her hand up .
|
`` lucky for you , i can not do the procedure-it is to be handled strictly by a doctor . ''
|
`` a male ? ''
|
`` if it came to your penis exploding from the pressure by waiting for a male doctor , would you seriously be that picky ? ''
|
his blue eyes widened in horror .
|
`` yeah , i thought so .
|
i 'll be back . ''
|
when she whirled out of the room , she ran right into the last person she wanted to have to deal with at the moment .
|
`` i 'm so sorry .
|
are you all right ? ''
|
pesh asked .
|
`` i 'm fine . ''
|
he smiled down at her .
|
`` doing some patient evaluations on your own ?
|
that 's wonderful . ''
|
`` um , well , yes and no . ''
|
his brows knitted in concern .
|
`` what 's wrong ? ''
|
she could n't imagine telling pesh about mr. robertson 's condition .
|
the last thing she was going to do was refer the case to him .
|
draining an engorged penis should be left to the interns , not an attending physician .
|
`` oh , it 's nothing .
|
he 's just a little demanding . ''
