Patient of Interest
December 10th
Doctor Sandra Lawson and her partner, Doctor Hank Morris, came to the final patient on their rounds for the evening. Together, with several other skilled physicians, they used their combined knowledge to take on unique medical cases. Their technologically advanced hospital, FairHaven, was the first of many to be build across the country.
“And finally we've come back to the so called 'high priority' case from the boss.” He used air quotes when he spoke. Dr Lawson handed him the digital chart.
“I know I've said this before, but this one really doesn't seem unique enough to be here at FairHaven.” Dr Lawson crossed her arms and regarded the patient.
She was quite the case. Having been brought in several months ago, each doctor has tried treatment with little success. Her medical information was mostly “classified”, and they only received details that were deemed to be relevant. The team had received very specific instructions regarding her case. It was made clear to everyone that she was to have the best care possible, and reports were filed regularly regarding her progress, or lack of.
“Seriously, right? Let's see here... gunshot wounds, severe internal injuries. Slipped into a coma after being treated at a...” Dr Morris scrolled through the information on his screen, “Saint Mary's Hospital in New York City. Quite the distance to travel.”
The woman fell into a coma after being in an “accident”. As far as Dr Lawson was concerned, however, most accidents didn't involve injuries via high powered guns.
“She's been here for over six months,” he continued to read from her file. “Not responding to treatment, or any kind of outside stimulation. No brain activity whatsoever. We're wasting our time here.”
“I'd agree with you if Thornhill wasn't so adamant that she still receive the best care possible.”
Dr Morris tapped his chin and looked into the room. “I wonder what's so special about her.”
“I don't know, but whoever Samantha Groves is, she's extremely important to someone.”
