Andrew had been on-call all of 42 minutes before he was actually called onto the floor. A bus crash meant there was a sudden overload of patients, to the point they were taking the less urgent cases to another hospital a bit further away. He literally hit the floor running and hadn't stopped now in nearing twelve hours. It was case after case, on top of even the bus casualities, plus three DOA's which meant a hell load of paperwork and getting the police involved. Andrew just should have known it would be a fucker of a shift, but he was nothing if not optimistic.

As if his personal life wasn't bugging him enough. First there was the fight-that-wasn't with Sam. All Andrew wanted to do was make sure he was okay and didn't need help, and then suddenly the whole issue of their arrangement was dragged open, when Andrew didn't even realise it was an issue before. Sam was suddenly making a huge deal over the boundaries and what they should or shouldn't be doing, and Andrew was basically just downright confused about the damn thing. Wasn't the whole point of friends with benefits just that? You were friends, who had sex. But friends still cared about each other, right? Though, friends who sleep together apparently aren't supposed to care about each other at all and now Andrew wasn't even sure if Sam was indicating they should stop sleeping together... stop being friends... None of it got resolved when Sam starting throwing up and asked Andrew to leave. All Andrew could do was respect that, and they hadn't spoken since. And then there was Kurt's Facebook status about having a date and the subsequent conversation that followed it. It shouldn't bother him, but it did. He still had some processing to do, even if Kurt seemed adamant no date was going to happen, there still had been an agreement to one, meaning there was mutual feelings on both sides. But at least Blaine was getting better. That was the upside, right?

( It was a matter of shoving it all right to the back of his mind now, though, and focusing on the tasks at hand... )

Super-toxic, super resistent E.coli outbreak in Germany and Europe. Fantastic.

Can we send all recently arrived Europeans to another hospital? I mean that with the utmost respect. But who wants untreatable explosive diarrhea, seriously? Or the hospital in another pandemic lockdown?

Sums up my week nicely.

Apparently today is bodily orifice day. A kid with beans up his nose, a toddler with a bug in her ear, a guy with a pedometer up his ass, and a chick with a something I'm not even going to say stuck somewhere i'm not going to name.

FML.

Nausea trying to kick in. I need to get sleep before I keel over and don't get back up.

Just what I need an hour before my shift ends heading into two days off... a Swine Flu scare in two staff members.

Fucking brilliant.

After actually scoring a sleep day off shift, Andrew found himself once again back at work. Luckily the ER was somewhat subdued that morning, touch wood, but it was still constant. He was hoping to catch up with Kurt when he could to get an update on Jackson Fraser. In fact, there were a couple of patients he wanted to follow up on to see how they were doing after he transferred them from his care.

But now, lunch, and although he had desperately wanted to grab a large plate of fries and a chocolate shake, he settled on a couple of salad sandwiches and a fruit juice because he honestly didn't know what time tonight he would get home. They were down a doctor for the nightshift and after spending all morning trying to ring around for a replacement, it looked like Andrew might have to end up doing another double to cover it. Fries and a shake weren't going to get him through the long hours.

He flipped open the latest medical journal he had just plucked out of his pigeon hole in the staff roof, but after looking over the cover, he wasn't sure there would be much in this month's edition to interest him. He poked a piece of lettuce back in between the bread before taking his first bite and almost moaned in pleasure. He hadn't realised quite how hungry he had managed to get that morning. He was enjoying the sunshine outside, though. He had always been the sort to escape outside on a break if he could for some fresh air and weather permitting. It was just awesome that today seemed to be one of those days that indicated how close summer really was and it was nice to get out of the ER for awhile.

Andrew left the psuedo-Discovery Channel moment in Resus #4 (aka Dr Anderson's first encounter wih One Kurt Hummel) as they discussed the Jackson Fraser situation and could finally get away to speak to his other patient, the battery victim, Quinn Fabray. It had been one hell of a long night and he was daydreaming about crawling into his bed and sleeping for a week. The shift just keep going on and on and on, though.

With a small smile, Andrew knocked on the door of the tiny ER room Miss Fabray was occupying. "Hey," he greeted her. "Apologies for the wait. We had a couple of serious emergencies land in my lap. I seem to be in demand tonight."
