Lisa sneaks into the Clinic

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

The lights are off in the clinic, so Lisa grabs the key from its hiding place and lets herself in. She looks tired and is carrying a single, huge duffle bag. Throwing it on the floor behind House's desk, she curls up on a cot and tries to fall asleep, instead staring at the ceiling silently.




[OOC: After Lana and Angelus come in, Cuddy pulls a curtain closed and falls asleep for the night in the corner, oblivious to all Clinic activities. If you have a med emergency, make a new post to the clinic and one of the staffers will come to your aid. Maybe even Cuddy in the AM EST. Thanks.]

Lisa mutters to herself. "I can see Alanna has been keeping up with her extra-curricular activities."

Archie staggers up to the door, carrying an unconscious Lana (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/143139.html), and groans as he realizes the door is locked.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa is startled and quickly jumps up, smoothing her hair down and flicking on a light.

"Yes, oh dear, bring her over here and lie her down. What happened?"

She immediately begins checking Lana over for external injuries.

Archie shakes his head. "I'm not entirely sure. I found her in the second floor common room. I think someone was playing a prank and tripped her, and she hit her head."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa notes that the patient has all the signs of a mild concussion.

"How long as she been out? Do you know her name? Also, you may want to back up. Concussion victims tend to vomit when they come to if they are knocked out."

As if on cue, Lana stirs and begins to come round. As she tried to move she throws up all over the floor.

Finding himself possessed of a free moment, Angelus wandered by the clinic, idly curious if House was around.

"Not long, I think. I heard what sounded like someone falling to the floor just before I found her." Archie shakes his head, thinking. "And this strange little boy went running out of the room."

"Hi sweetie, my name is Lisa. You are in the clinic, I think you hit your head. Can you stay still for me?"

Lisa holds her neck down gently and checks her over, deciding she definitely has a mild concussion, but no life-threatening injuries.

"I'm going to get you some ice for that bruise, and some tylenol for the headache. Other than that, there isn't much I can do. Do you feel dizzy? I can give you something for that."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Thank you. I really appreciate you bringing her down here."

Lisa gives him a smile, and turns back to Lana.

Lisa is running a mop over the pile of Lana's vomit, looking disheveled. She turns to the door. "Hello?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana tried to nod, but stops abruptly with a grimace of pain. "Dizzy," she whispers. "How...Where am I?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"You were in the dorms, and it seems like someone tripped you and you hit your head. You have a bit of a concussion, but you are going to be fine. A nice young man brought you to the clinic."

Lisa grabs a few pills and a small cup of water.

"Do you think you can get these down for me? They'll help with the headache."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Various emotions flickered over Angelus's face, not the least of which was surprise.

"Lisa," he said, as though not sure he was seeing a ghost since, well, look where they went to school. "I thought you'd left."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana manages to sit up enough to take the pills. As she's lying down she sees Archie. "Archie? You... Did you carry me all the way here?" She feels flustered and embarrassed on top of everything else.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Angelus, hi."

She tugs down her sweater, but quickly gives up trying to look presentable.

"I did. Leave. I left."

She curses herself for stuttering.

"Stuff to take care of, you know how that is I'm sure. How have you been? I haven't seen you since you were engaging in your own zombie holocaust."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa smiles, and steps back. Lana needs rest, but there isn't much else Lisa can do for her, so she lets her get some comfort from her friend.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Your friend is awake (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandom_clinic/19782.html?replyto=552262), if you'd like to talk to her.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah that was quite a weekend," Angelus said, in the forced casual rushed tone of one who'd love to cheerfully skip past a topic. Finding an acceptable conversational out, he added, "I thought maybe all that scared you off."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie nods and smiles. "Hello, Lana. I'm glad you're awake."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Thank you so much. I was just... I was looking for you actually and I started into the room and... that's all I remember. Except some little blond boy in the corner laughing."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Could you blame me if it had?" Lisa laughs without mirth. "No, I... had my reasons. Watching my business teacher try to kill the undead with some bad coffee wasn't one of them, shockingly enough. I lost track of you that night, are you okay?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Thank you very much for taking care of her, ma'am."

Archie smiles and offers a slight bow.

Lisa interjects "A little temporary memory loss is normal. You need to take it easy for a few days, and have your friend bring you home. If you have any other problems - blurred vision, more nausea, the headaches get worse, come right back in. Otherwise, stay until the meds kick in and your friend can bring you home, okay?"

She shuffles off to give them their privacy and fill out a chart.
