stridinWhile I promise there will be a fleshed out backstory to come for people to work with, for now Imma just give you all something to start us off with.
SO IT'S A TYPICAL FUCKING APRIL DAY AT THE CROCKER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL (working title here). And here is what is happening:
Emergency room: There's a nasty stomach flu (aka a bacterial gastroenteritis) going around and the ER is busy with an influx of patients who've got it and either have no regular doctor or can't get to their regular doctor. No serious cases aside from one very ill 3 year old (she's admitted pretty swiftly) and a handful of pre-teens with moderate to severe dehydration from their illnesses. (One or two of the sicker folks have barfed on the floor.) No serious injuries aside from one fractured arm (teenager, fell during baseball practice). One very obviously drug-addled middle-aged man wanders in around 5 PM.
Pediatrics: Out-patient is seeing a bunch of kids with that stomach flu that actually have regular doctors in the hospital that they're seeing. In-patient has just admitted a new girl from the ER, age 7, with severe flu-like symptoms that have persisted for over 10 days. (Feel free to go all House MD on that one.) All other regular peds in-patients are stable, though restless because it's Thursday and there is nothing fun to do.
Geriatrics: Quiet. Mrs. Robinson has seen better days. Her family is concerned she's on her way out. (The hospital offers some limited hospice options and also home nursing options.)
Radiology: A handful of routine x-rays and MRI's, plus that baseball kid.
Gift shop and cafeteria: both a lot busier than usual because of all the families wandering around thanks to that stomach flu. Lots of people killing time while other relatives sit in the ER for four hours. People are a liiiiiittle leery of the food. The bug, you know.Not that one questionable chef.
Eridan's rotation is probably taking him through geriatrics, though it can be wherever. Anybody/everybody else, feel free to make it up as you go.
