I'm still going with my other fanfic...I'm just going to be starting another one...this one takes place when Abby first comes to county as a med student...She is not an alcoholic...she is not divorced. Richard is an alcoholic and their marriage is ruff. Abby just wants out, but he won't let her go..tell me what you guys think.
"Welcome to county. you are med students, not real doctors yet. so just don't act like it...Its annoying. If you are not sure of something, ask someone. Don't guess. thats how people die. i am Dr. Kovac. I am an attending. I am in charge of you. Don't ask me any stupid questions, I don't want to hear it...you can ask the residents. you will be playing shadow with them today. have fun. and good luck..now get away from me and go to orientaiton up stairs."
As the other students made their way upstairs, a very late Abby Lockhart made her way to admit. It had been ruff last night. Her husband Richard got drunk and smacked her around until he passed out. She parted her hair..so her long bangs were to the side, covering the left side of her face, which was swollen, black and blue. Luka's back was to her and he was talking to Dr. Carter. She recognized his voice from the other day when she was here getting some stiches on her forehead. Richard had smashed her head into a mirror but she had told them, she walked into an open cabinet door.
"Hi...umm excuse me." she said nervously
"Yes?" Luka asked turning around.
"Yeah..I'm Abby Lockhart, I think I'm-"
"You were here the other day. I stitched your forehead."
"Well, actually I'm here for orientaiton...I'm a med student."
"Your late. and before you see any patients you will be removing the hair from your face so you can look at them with two eyes."
"Ok...sure, whatever.....where is this orientation?"
"You don't really have to go to it...its just so the med students aren't around bothering us with stupid questions...Carol will show you around...Tell you about the place. She is our head nurse."
Luka turned and gestured Carol to come over to them. Abby new her from somewhere...but where? she looked at her while Luka told her what to show and tell Abby . and then she remembered, she was her OB nurse....Carol delivered twin girls. As Luka was going on about something Abby interupted.
"Um, excuse me, did you by any chance have twins on thanksgiving?"
"Yes...yes I did...heyyyyy..you were my OB nurse weren't you? Abby right?"
"Yeah..how are the girls?"
"Oh they are great, thank you. Soo your a med student now?"
"Yeah, I guess you can say I've turned to the dark side."
"Thats great..I almost went to med school one time...I got in, but then I changed my mind."
"Oh yeah?"
"Ok...well Carol..just show Abby where the lounge is...bathroom....lockers...supplys...you know eveything she will need to know...and make sure the hair in her face...is out of her face when she comes back for her first patient."
"Ok, I will."
Carol has been giving Abby the tour, and now its time for her to get some charts and see some patients.
"Do you want to borrow a clip or something...so Dr. Kovac doesn't cut your hair off?"
"Uhh...no thanks..I umm...I have one.." she said nervously turning her head around quickly.
"What was that!?"
"What?" Abby asked not turning around.
"Your eye."
"Nothing."
"Let me see it then."
"No..Carol...really I have to go see some patients."
"Just let me see...Please?"
Abby slowly pushed her hair behind her ear and turned around. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her eye was swollen almost all the way shut. and where her cheek bone is, was swollen and black and blue.
"Oh my god. what happened?"
Abby didn't answer. Carol walked over and started examining it. Abby started crying harder as Carol pushed where her cheek bone was.
"It might be fractured."
"Don't tell anyone about this...please..carol...please..don't tell anyone about this."
"How do you expect to hide it. Kovac said you had to be able to see out of two eyes..and even with the hair out of your face you won't be able to see out of it."
"I'll avoid him."
"Abby...are you married?"
Abby blinked away more tears and turned her face away from Carol..Richard wasn't that bad when he was sober. It was only when he was drunk was he violent.
"Abby...did your husband hit you?"
"Don't tell anyone..please...He was drunk..he didn't mean it. Richard loves me."
"Abby! you have tell someone..."
"I can't...he didn't mean it...Carol...He didn't mean it."
"What about here?" she asks pointing to the stiches on Abby's forehead.
"I..uh, walked into an open cabinet door...the corners are sharp."
"Really? are you sure he didn't do that too?" Abby didn't say anything, she just started crying harder. "He did..didn't he?" Abby slowly nodded her head.
You have to tell someone. you should tell the police."
"Do you have any idea how mad he would be if I told someone? especially the police."
"Does he do this often?"
"What?"
"Does he hit you all the time.."
"No! no...no...he was just drunk.."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"If he hits you again.."
"He won't."
"I think you should get an x-ray."
"No, I'm fine. really thanks. Remember....he didn't mean it."
"Abby...."
"Carol! promise!"
"Ok ,ok...I promise."
Carol left to get a portable x-ray, leaving Abby in the dark room all alone. Her face hurt so much...she new it was probably fractured but she didn't want to anyone else to know..She had no idea how she was going to hide this from everyone...Just as she was getting up, the door opened and Dr. Kovac walked in. Abby quickly jumped up and turned around.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, that was definatley something...may I take a look."
"No..it was nothing, excuse me I have uhh..a patient."
"Nope...You're not leaving, until you let me see what is on your face."
Abby slowly turned around to face him, again the tears rolled down her face. Luka's eyes widened and he put on some gloves and walked over to her, pressing gently where Carol had pressed. She winced in pain and Luka stepped back.
"I'm sorry." he said, putting his hands back to her eye. Abby didn't say anything.
"How did this happen? I think your cheek bone may be fractured."
"I'm fine."
"yeah...ok.." he said sarcastically. Carol walked back in with a portable x-ray. "Dr. Kovac...Hi."
"Hello. I was just asking Abby what happened, but she doesn't seem to want to tell me...did she tell you what happened?"
"Yes...I think I can take it from here."
"Well..I think I should stay, to take a look at the x-ray..and to prescribe something..Because it looks quite painful."
"Ok." Carol said as she took the film and put it on the light so they could look at it.
"Yup..theres a small fracture..Do you want morphine...or IB profine...Vicadin?"
"I don't care...you pick."
"Ok...Why don't you just go home...take some days off...you need some time to heel.."
"yeah..ok...thanks."
With that Abby quickly left. and Luka and Carol made there way back to Admit. "Soo what happened to her?"
"I can't tell you."
"You can't tell me?"
"No..I promised her."
"What did her boyfriend beat her?"
".....Husband."
Should I keep going?
