Clinic In The Evening

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

He'd enjoyed the poetry class quite a bit, despite the headache throbbing at the back of his head.

He wasn't planning on reopening the clinic, but he'd left his cell phone on the desk when he'd rushed off to get to the class on time.

He sat down at the desk for some reason unknown to him and started going through the desk drawers, cleaning them out.

The doctor is not officially on duty. but that doen't mean you can't come in.

"We need some help here!"

Parker's yelling and pretty much supporting all of Vala's weight; Janet's got pressure on the wound; and Isabel is hovering, looking sick and scared.

"NOW!"

Yup, this isn't familiar.

"We have a patient with a stab wound, probable perforation of the liver," said Janet loudly, looking around for a doctor. She was applying pressure around the knife; they hadn't pulled it out on their way in. "Wrist injuries as well, but let's get this liver taken care of first."

She nods to the first exam room and starts tugging Vala directly to it.

House is glad to see they didn't pull the knife out. Very delicate, that.

He washes his hands, leaves his cane by the sink, and puts on a pair of gloves.

"Everybody back. Is she conscious?" He moves tot he side of the bed.

Vala moans slightly and tries to sit up, but isn't very coherent.

[janet_fraiser]

"Lie down," said Janet firmly, moving one hand and putting a slight amount of pressure on Vala's chest.

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

"Lay down!" House barks at her. "Don't move. Parker! Janet! Get me some towels, under the sink. Put on some gloves, I need you to help me clean up the blood."

He couldn't tell how serious the wound was until he could see the wound clearly. "You." He looked at Vala. "Tell me your name and date of birth."

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

"Uh, Vala Mal Doran... and uh -- OW! -- I don't remember..."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker rushed to grab towels, handing them to House and Janet, then looking around for gloves too, finding them, and putting some on while throwing the box to Janet. "I wasn't there, I didn't see much, but Janet and Isabel were."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet nodded once, let the pressure off Vala's wound now that someone who was officially able to take care of it was here, and went to scrub up.

The soap stung as it got in the scratches on her forearm, but she had to clean and disinfect those anyway. Sooner was better than later.

Isabel lurked in the doorway. Doctors and hospitals made her nervous even when she wasn't a patient.

Sore or not, he could run pretty damn fast if he wanted to. Cameron ran into the clinic and headed right to the action, nearly colliding with Izzy. "What the hell's going on?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel turned at the noise behind her. "Cam, slow down. They're taking care of her."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet grabbed the box out of the air, slapped it down onto the counter, and dried her hands, then slipped on a pair of surgical gloves. She grabbed the towels Parker had tried to hand her while she was washing up and went to clean the blood off Vala.

She gave Isabel a reassuring look and then went back to her work.

"Son of a bitch." House mutters under his breath. Just his luck. Well, chances were high they'd have called him anyway, if Parker was involved. He grabs his cane as he stands, and points them toward the Exam Rooms.

"What happened?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Vamp attack with sharp things. Isabel, call her boyfriend. Cam Mitchell, he's in room 226 if you can't get him on the phone," Parker ordered, following Janet's lead to the exam room. "Jesus, Vala. Just lie still. And Isabel? Say hurt, but don't say vampires. We don't want him freaking *too* much."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Relieved to have something useful to do, Isabel dove for the phone on the desk and looked up Cam's number.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Janet sounded like she she knew what she was talking about. Isabel headed towards the lounge to wait, tugging a very reluctant Cam behind her.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Did he mention that he's sick of hospitals? Cameron's eyes remained on the room even if he couldn't see from where the were. He knew it was best to let the doc do his job, but he didn't have to like it. "Now will you please tell me what's going on?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel wanted to pace but thought that wasn't going to help Cam calm down. Instead she sat on one of the chairs and motioned for Cam to do the same.

"We were out at Caritas for a while. When we started to walk home we ran into one of the vampires."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Vampires?" Cameron did the pacing for the two of them. "Drusilla?" If he got his hands on her.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No, the blonde one. But she didn't get bit!" Isabel added quickly. "She saved the other Isobel. She just got hurt in the process."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Hurt how? Where? Is it bad?" Cameron was getting more than annoyed. He'd done this last week, not knowing for hours.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel thought, remembering everything that happened. "She was stabbed. I don't know how bad. But she was with it most of the way here so that has to be a good sign."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He wasn't sure if that was reassuring, but there was nothing he could do. Rubbing a hand through his hair, he looked back at the exam room and swallowed hard. "Is everyone else alright? How did you guys get there?"
