It had been three years since I last stood in front of this building… Holby City ED
I wonder if he knows it's me. All the army said was Major Nicholls of the Royal Army Medical Corps is searching for a job as a doctor. Would you mind interviewing her? He was always a bit slow when it came to putting one and one together. Oh well that doesn't matter now; I'm here now that's all that counts. Three… Two… One…
I Walk up to the reception there's one hell of a long queue I suppose you would expected nothing less for a Friday night in a ED I push my way to the front while getting horrible stares from everyone else in line but what do you expect. The guy behind the desk is telling me I can't push in like that but I just ignore him.
"Hello…" I examine his name tag for a while "… Noel, I'm looking for Mr Jordan"
"And you are?" He replies.
"Major Nicholls or Samantha Nicholls, Not sure what I'm down as"
"Sorry Miss Nicholls but I can't see your name on system, why are you here?"
"I'm here for a…" All of a sudden I hear the sound of a heart rate monitor crashing I run towards the rhesus area I hear Noel babbling on about how I shouldn't be doing this but I carry on as I seem to be the only one around so I shout to the nearest nurse that I need a crash kit and start CPR until she gets one to me then I get out the defib and ask the nurse to stand clear and then I shock… and he's back in sinus rhythm. As I turn to ask the nurse her name I spot none other than Nick Jordan at the door.
"Erm Mr Jordan I'm sorry I know I shouldn't have done that but there was no one else around to help him" I look at him apologetically
"Sam, is that you?" Is all he can say? I can see the shock on his face it's understandable it had been over 3 years. At least the nurse only thinks it down to me using a defibrillator when I don't work in the ED.
"Yes, Mr Jordan it is, I'm so sorry let me explain"
"Sam you can explain in my office but don't worry I would have done the same thing. Thank you staff nurse Andrews for assisting Sam" He's not angry with me I could of killed that man I knew nothing about him maybe he's just saying that as the nurse is around well at least I know her name now
"Mr Jordan, you know I only did it as she seemed to know what she was doing I wouldn't just give any old stranger a defib." Staff nurse Andrews replied
"Linda stop worrying I know and trust you more than you think, now Sam lets go have this interview" I follow him to his office giving Linda one last smile on the way out.
On the way to Mr Jordan's office I passed by many other doctors and nurses who all look very busy, even if I get turned down I would like to go out with these people they seem like they can have a good laugh.
"Sam, are you coming in or are we having the conversation in the hallway?" He asked in a mocking tone.
