What? The nurse makes her rounds
When? Early Sunday AM
Where? Jack's room, Neurosurgical Unit

Quinn's shift had just started, which explained why she was in a relatively good mood, still cheerful and alert instead of living on a cup of coffee by the end of the day. Being on day shifts this rotation was a blessing, and one she was very grateful for. It was incredible how twelve hours on in the daytime felt like nothing by comparison to twelve hours on over the nighttime hours, but it was the truth.

Glancing over the chart for her next patient, Quinn realized it was someone she hadn't met before. Most of the patients in her unit had been here on her last shift, before she took some leave to go on vacation with her mom and sister for a girls-only trip, but this was a new name, and apparently, a very puzzling case for the doctors. Relatively young guy, not yet in his thirties. Paperwork signed by both Dr. Pearson and Dr. Anderson... So he'd been seen in the ER, and then had surgery. Quinn's mind slotted all of his information in as she acquainted herself with his file, just as she did with any patient she worked with. It was important to know what was going on before she went into a room. Like her best friend, Kurt, Quinn knew her shit as a nurse, and she refused to be unprepared.

File in hand, she made her way down the corridor to the room of the patient, knocking lightly against the already open door before she went in. "Mr. Frazer?" she said softly as she started to round the corner. The patient was lying in his hospital bed and looking like hell. Not that Quinn ever judged on that. Looking like hell after neurosurgery was pretty damn common, and she probably would've been slightly concerned if he didn't. Cauterization of a cerebral hemorrhage was no laughing matter, and certainly not a simple outpatient deal, and then there was still the fact that no one knew what had caused this guy's tumble in the first place. "My name is Quinn Fabray... I'm your nurse today."

Jack knew he was hospital. He knew he was seriously sick. He knew he had bandages wrapped around his head. Beyond that, there wasn't a distinct amount of recognition. He didn't know he was in the Neurosurgical Unit, or what hospital. He didn't know the unit was connected to the High Dependency Unit and that he was here because he was seriously sick. He didn't really know what was wrong beyond the fact he apparently had brain bleeding, and that was a piece of information he had only been able to retain when the doctor actually quit with the medical jargon and called it 'bleeding on the brain'. They kept telling him, too, that he was ill but they couldn't do any further tests on him until he healed a little. They listed the tests they wanted to do, but Jack had no clue what they were on about.

But he was awake, so that was a start. Dazed, but awake. And he had a whole bunch of flower arrangements sitting at various points in the room. At first, his vision was blurry and he hadn't been able to focus on what the colours were, but now that he had been awake for a couple of days, he could see them. They were beautiful, but his parents couldn't tell him who was sending them. None of them had cards. Now he just felt sick and the pain in his head took it out of him. Lying in the hospital bed with tubes and wires connected him was almost like a holiday. The time just ticked away when he was awake. He really didn't have the energy for anything.

Andrew latest patient was an enigma. Andrew didn't like enigmas when he was functioning on very little sleep. If he wanted enigmas, he would harbour yearnings to be the next House, M.D. But at just after eight pm that night, one Jackson Fraser showed up on the gurney in Resus #4, unconscious, shirt covered in his own vomit, broken wrist, and a nasty looking bruise up the side of his face. He was brought in from a wedding reception across town, and according to a witness, he took a really nasty tumble in the carpark. Drunk or high... probably both.

Only not.

Jackson's blood alcohol levels were clear, and his tox screens were all negative. Andrew had just stood there at the nurses' station dumbfounded when the first round of bloods came back clear. Maybe it was overkill, but Andrew asked his nurse, Rachel Berry, to re-run the work up and when the second round came back just as clear, Andrew started to think something more sinister might be going on. Said witnesses reported Jackson acting weirdly at the wedding party, and then seeming to be drunk in the car park right before he threw up and fell in the gutter near his car. The fact he even had his car could prove to Andrew he had no intention of drinking... not that Andrew was one to make those assumption, from personal experience.

CT had to be the next stop, and while the poor guy remained unconscious through the whole ordeal the tests were run and at least this time Andrew got some answers... )
