Novel & Cerita Emergency Room Stories

On the other hand, some out of fear, and a few would mostly wander – running down the stairs, and standing stupidly in the middle of the street, while heading to doubts, and a lot of hesitation probing in any minute now. For Germa, what she felt was a horrifying repulsion and exhaustion. To the dream she never sough, yet she was left with no option. “Are you okay, Dr. Hernandez?” Emily worriedly asked. They had just both came from the ER, wearing their surgery clothes and robes after a long night shift that the hospital has been through again. They had just gotten a code blue, and it only means how serious the situation was, amid the numerous number of patients they have handled. It’s an ac

“But…” Dr. Carver pokes my arm. “I guess you’re in the pit today, Smithson.” ~ The pit. That’s what we in the medical profession call the emergency room. I call it the war zone. The people who are brought here look like they’ve just been in battle. Here is where the paramedics wheel in the victims of accidents and crimes – road collisions, fires, shootings, stabbings, maulings, poisonings. Yet here is where the real battle begins. The moment they come in, doctors fight to save their lives, and sometimes, they have to fight, too, for theirs.

Present day Sam heard the shouting and heavy objects crashing to the floor long before he saw the source of the anger and rage. He picked up the pace a bit, hurried towards the E.R., even as people scurried past him in the opposite direction. It wasn’t uncommon for fights and arguments to break out in the E.R., of course, especially at the weekends, and most especially in the middle of the night. But things could get tense and go south anytime – as shown right at this moment, at just before nine o’clock on a rainy, foggy Tuesday morning in late-winter.

"Dr. Richard, quick! There's been a series of car accidents downtown, over twenty injured people are being brought in, and the mentor wants you to go to the emergency room!" That's the way it is in emergency medicine, on-call during business hours, no slacking off allowed. Emma Rosy reflexively dropped her phone and ran for the door while shouting, "I'm going to the emergency room, I'll talk to you later!" "So this is what Emma looks like when she's at work." Alex Brown laughed silently before getting up propped up against the wall and walking back to the hospital bed, muttering to himself, "It's good to be busy, a full and meaningful life, she should enjoy it."

I silence it and bolt out of my office, my steps fast, urgent and instinctive. The moment I enter the ER bay, chaos hits me like a wall. Bodies everywhere. Patients surrounded by doctors and nurses. Elderly men and women, their skin blistered and burned. Some motionless beneath white sheets. Others writhing, convulsing, screaming. Foam spills from mouths. Their limbs thrash. The air is thick with panic and death. “What happened here?” I demand, rushing toward the nearest bed. A man, elderly, thrashes violently. Foam seeps from his mouth as his body spasms. Panic claws up my throat.

Just not tonight. The shift is normal so far. Well normal for the emergency room. We had a few cases of food poisoning. One broke arm from falling off a ladder. A kid with a allergic reaction to a bee sting. Not a major reaction thank the heavens, just a bad rash and a welt around the sting site. Poor guy had never been bite before so his parents didn’t know. I just finished stitching up my patient. Yes, I do that. Leaves the doctors open for more serious cases.

So were Eric’s stepmother and his younger stepbrother. Eric, meanwhile, had lost every ounce of calm. He paced like a man trapped in a cage—back and forth, back and forth, raking his fingers through his hair, checking the doors every few seconds. “It’s taking too long,” he mumbled to no one in particular. “What’s going on in there?” No one dared to answer. No one dared to interrupt his storm of worry. Then, at last, the emergency room doors swung open. Doctor Rex stepped into the hallway and paused as he was greeted by the unexpected sight of a full-blown crowd. He barely got a breath in before Eric was already in front of him.

I was not Eden, the woman he loved, I was Eden, the woman who looked like Celestine. My phone rang again but this time it was the hospital, Mercy General where I worked as an emergency room doctor, and I almost did not answer. But years of training overrode my personal crisis, and I picked up to hear my supervisor Daniel's urgent voice: "Eden, I know it is your wedding day, but we have a mass casualty incident, multiple victims from a warehouse fire and shooting, and we need every available doctor."

He took a deep breath, and began to tell me the stories of the other patients in the hospital. "You see, every patient here has their own unique struggles," he said, his voice low and soothing. "There's Emma, the young woman who was laughing alone earlier. She's been struggling with schizophrenia for years, and has been in and out of hospitals for most of her life. Despite her struggles, she's one of the kindest and most gentle souls I've ever met." He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "And then there's Jack, the older man who seems lost and confused. He's been struggling with Alzheimer's disease, and has been slowly losing his memories and his sense of identity. It's heartb
