Xenarius stumbled into the emergency room. His right arm hanging limp at his side. Beads of sweat trickling down his forehead as he clenched his jaw in an attempt to ease the pain. Every second was agony right now.
"I need to see a doctor..." he mumbled to the receptionist.
"Okay, I need you to fill out these forms, and then bring them back to-"
"I can't fill them out... I can't even move my arm," he said through his teeth.
"Oh... ummm... is there anyone who can help you?"
"No... I just need to see a doctor... please..."
"Just a minute." The receptionist said and then got on the phone. After about a minute of talking she hung up. "A nurse will be out to get you in just a minute, please take a seat."
"Thank you." Xenarius said, walked over to a chair and sat down.
Within a minute the doors to the back of the emergency room opened.
"Xenarius?" called the nurse uncertainly.
He got up and followed her to the back.
"What happened?" She asked.
"I fell off my bike."
"Well alright... lets get that x-rayed." She said taking a hold of my upper arm ,and my lower arm, raising my arm onto the x-ray platform. "Now hold still. This will just take a minute."
She left the room and the clicking sound of x-rays being taken could be heard. She came back in the room and told him that the x-rays would take a few minutes to develop, and to "sit tight".
"Could I get something for the pain?" He asked her grimacing as he got an especially intense stab of pain. "Please?"
"Sure..." she dug around in a drawer and handed him a painkiller. "Take this... it will take a few minutes to start working." She said as she left the room.
A few minutes later she came back. "Well your elbow is completely shattered. We'll probably need to do surgery to fix it. You said you fell off your bike?"
"Yeah... I landed really hard on my elbow." Xenarius explained, knowing the nurse knew it was a lie.
"But no other injuries?"
"Nothing serious..." Xenarius said without looking her in the eye.
"Well okay. We are gonna get you into surgery right away. Change into this and put your clothes in this bag. I'll be back in a few minutes." She said and closed the door.
Xenarius changed into the gown and waited. When she came back it was with a gurney and the anesthesiologist. They put the I.V. in his arm and put him on the gurney and took him to a surgery room. Before he knew it he was waking up in a recovery room. The same nurse was standing there waiting for him to wake up.
"Glad to have you back," she said with a smile. "Now since you can't fill out any of this paperwork, I'll have to fill it out for you."
She asked him all of the questions, and thankfully he knew all of the answers. She took the paperwork to the people who needed it after telling him they wanted to keep him overnight to make sure everything was set well.
He settled in, and turned on the t.v. After all it could have been much worse.
