Job at the Hospital

[max]

"You what?!"

"Work..at a...hospital."

"With blood and open heads and wheel-chairs?"

"Yeah..."

"And people with the flu or dying hair?"

"Mmhmm..."

"And you thought I wouldn't have a problem with that?"

"Well I was kinda guessing you would shout at me either way..."

"Of course I would shout at you! You could break a nail, Max!"

"I clipped them this morning, don't worry."

"You what?!!"

"Bad example."

"Young lady, to get a job you will from now on ask for my consent! Do you hear me? You'll work on a yaucht, overseas, different cities and studios as a model, a fashion designer, a spokesperson, anything but a doctor!"

"The position is an assistant-nurse, mom.."

"And your point being?"

"That -- I'm glad your happy with my new job where I help the sick people, mend the needy, help out the operating doctors and wear a cute white dress! I'll see you in Europe or wherever in a couple of years, until then, keep in touch! Kissies! Bye Mom!"

"Waita-"


Max slammed the phone back onto it's hinges and stepped away from the little box, sighing. Her mother was dissappointed when she told her about her job at the Hospital of California, but Max thought it was a great opportiunity to help people, and that was something without doubt Max was destined to do. The General Hospital of CA was looking for helpers, not very serious positions, just nurses mostly to run around and fetch damp towels or people coming inside the hospital and take them for mending unless it was a minor injury that the nurse would most likely know how to tend to his or herself. Some people came to the P.H.S Max attended, interested in hiring competent teenagers for the positions until they were able to think of something better and Max seemed to be fit for the position. So, after a day's worth of training, a nice little dry-cleaned white nurse's dress and hat, Max was on duty.

Of course the Hospital would be paying her for her service, un-doubtfully Max didn't really need the money in any case, though the young lady was just looking forward to all the things she would experience and the people she would meet there. Old, young, and she might even get to witness labour! ... which to some girls her age wouldn't be such a scene worth looking forward to, but Max was ... different. "On duty. Requirements: Stand near the door with good posture, smile, and clean breath. Cali's such a ... decent city, work'll be so easy!"

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon walked limply into the hospital fromt door with a pinkish towel held to hsi back. There was aparent blood on the towel and his hand, but not too much, he had stopped the bleeding slightly by holding the towel with pressure against the wound. He had run into some punks with knives and one got behind him. He got sloppy was all, well thats what he told himself, he just didn't notice the guy get behind him. The gash wasn't deep, just a nice slice, leave another scar to add to the rest of them. His dark deep blue eyes would look around the front area spotting a particulerly young nurse as it seemed and would walk over to the fornt desk area.

"Back laseration, maybe needs stitches."

He had already summed it all up he just needed a doctor, or nurse or someone to do it, so for now it would be her job to get him preped for it.

((OoC: Doin' good, keep it up, I esspecielly liked the part where you got in an arguement with the mom. Dont pay attention to my popst size, I want you to get the cash, before I have to go to my grandmas.))

"Back laseration, maybe needs stitches."

"..." Max blinked with excitement, since at first she thought her job would be easy as the easiest thing in the world because she didn't think there'd be much violence in CA, or anything happening that would result in anyone getting injured. She stood there dumbfounded on what to do for a few seconds when she saw the guy staring at her, but then remembered she was an assistant-nurse. "Oh, yeah! Let's get you to a doctor right away!" She spoke quickly because she was nervous, but Max was trying to be polite, she hadn't ever had a job before and was nervous about her first day. Very nervous.

"Are there any doctors avaliable right now?" She asked, turning to the other nurse behind her who was scrolling over some papers or something behind the desk,

Dull reply. "No."

"Not any at all?" Max was persistant.

...so was the nurse. "No."

"Not even a newbie one or something?"

"No!"

With a sigh, Max turned back to the person who'd just walked in. "He looks like a high-school student..." She thought to herself, scratching her head, trying to think of what to do in this situation. "Um, sir, you'll just have to wait a few moments because apparently all our doctors are occupied right now with other patients so if you'll just find a seat -- there's a waiting room further into the building, the next doctor will be ready in about -- "
"Two hours." Mummered the nurse behind Max, which she deliberatley ignored.

"Fifteen minutes. It'll only take a number around that ... number ... so please, be patient! If none of the doctor's are avalible in the next fifteen minutes, I'll assign a nurse to you!"

"Sure the hell won't be me," Commented the nurse who was now shuffling through a few files on the counter, she was really getting on Max's nerves.

"Hello! With a patient here!"

"Yeah, I kind of notice that, blondie."

"You do? I mean-- blondie? -- brunette, excuse me!"

"Whatever, barbie-girl. Just can it and go back to whatever you were doing!"

" -- my gosh! Totally a bi -- "

"I'm still standing here."

"Ga-!! ... look, find a seat over there and a doctor or nurse will be assigned to you just momentarily, sir! -- a nurse that you'll be able to tolerate!"

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon rolled his eyes and looked to the side as the two nurses argued, Leon had this deep down impression to just kill them both and attend to himself, but he was kinda tired from the blood loss before he was able to care about his wounds. So he was putting up with the bickering and annoying conversation the two where having until finally he was told to take a seat. He did as he was told and carefully placed himself down on a chair and leaned the towel against the chair to continue applieing pressure to his wound while being able to sit comfurtabley.

Waiting for the doctor to come, Leon would deffinitly remember this hospital, for later, he was kinda lazy right now, not feeling any better than when he first came in. California was very slow on its feet.

((OoC: OMG sorry I was at my grandma's this counts for overtime pay.))

[max]

OoC: ^_^ Nah, that's okay. Take your time with the replies, I don't mind at all

Max saw to it that the man who had just come in had found himself a seat, she still had a view of him from the counter, so just in case a doctor hadn't arrived to treat his wound in the next fifteen she would have something done so he wouldn't file a complaint or something. She was still a bit annoyed at the nurse behind her.

"Darned nurse." She muttered quietly.

The nurse heard her though, "Who? You or me?"

"Well that's obvious! You?"

"Not me? 'kay. Child, it's sometimes bad when you call yourself names, but in your case, man, I'd be calling myself names too."

"I take alot of offense from that..."

"I'm not telling you not to, I wasn't being polite just to let you know."

"You are an old, cranky lady aren't you?"

"Not that old, honey. But at least when I get old my heels won't look like a camal's back."

"Meaning?"
"What the hell type of nurse wears high-heels to work?"

"...is there something wrong with them?"

"No, young lady,l just the fact that this is a thirteen hour shift. You get a lunch break and ciggarette break, how the hell do you expect to survive on high-heels everyday?"

"I don't work everyday!"

"I meant everyday when your here. Why don't you take a look at all the other nurse's footwear and get the idea of what we wear around here!"

"I did, before I got the uniform and picked out these shoes! And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against poor people, but those things are totally out of date and smelly! This is the new age and there are such things as flip-flops you know!"

"Whatever, goodie-two-shoes. I could tell you'll be going nowhere in this hospital thing."

"Oh yeah? And you will?"

"Already have gone as far as I need to."


"ATTENTION. AN EXPERIENCED NURSE IS NEEDED IN OPERATION ROOM #7,06! IN MIDDLE OF SURGERY AND AN EXPERIENCED NURSE IS NEEDED TO PROCEED." Shouted out the speaker on the wall of the hospital, and then it spoke again, "NURSE CARTER, PLEASE REPORT TO SURGERY ROOM #7,06!"

"My cue." Said the cranky nurse behind Max, Max was surprised. The old lady took the gum out of her mouth and stuck it on the desk, poking Max as she walked from behind the counter. "Have fun being the doorman, kid."

"...whatever!" Max muttered.

[Mr. Kaar]

An eye brow twitch as he sat there listening to them argue the proper attire for the nursing job. One was upset about the other wearing high heels and the other didn't like the shoes of the uniform. And then LEon found himself INTERESTED in the conversation, slash, arguement. He leaned over and put his index finger in his right eye and his thumb in his left and scratched a bit as he decided he was not of the right mind set and it could happen to anyone. Realizing leaning over with a gash on your back was not wise he leaned back again keeping the towel nice and red. Wouldn't you knwo it the seat was becoming alittle damp, thats grows, but it was his own blood so he figured it was ok.

Now where was that doctor at, busy little office here wasn't it, doctors seemed very busy in this place, because so far Leon hadn't even seen one walking around going to the different rooms yet, just nurses. It would seem this hospital is alittle under manned, maybe it was good that the nurses helped out so much.

Max stayed at the counter, on duty, she greeted a family of three who had come in. Just a kid with a minor cut on his elbow, probably from a bicycle fall or something, even though his parents were acting like it was the end of the world or something. Max showed them to some seats in the waiting room, and that's when she remembered the other patient who had come in earlier. She recalled what she had told him, and guessed around fifteen minutes had passed, Max went back to the counter and searched through a few papers. "Nope...all doctors are busy." She mummered to herself, sighing, she stretched her arms out and walked over to the guy sitting in the waiting room.

"Hello there, sir, turns out that no more doctors will be ready for ... the next two hours, so I'm going to have to mend to your injury myself. If you'll just follow me, we'll begin and look at that sucker."

Max spoke, tapping the guy on the shoulder, she had saw the soakage through the towel and wondered if she would be able to handle this kid's injury. Afterall, she didn't ever go to medical school or anything before. Ever.
