After watching one of her fellow interns botch a surgery, Belle sat down with 3 other interns in the spare hospital beds on the phone with her mom, "Mom, everything is fine. Yeah.... I know. How is she?" She said into the phone, ignoring George's constantly pushing in the wheelchair, "She's alright, Vlad came to pick her up for his month with her. He's headed for Seattle with her, I told him you were doing your residency there and he insisted on pulling his trip to Seattle back to now, so that in case something happened you could reach them quickly." Morgan Dawson replied.
A defeated sigh escaped Belle's lips as she instinctively rubbed her temples, she and the father of her child had an awful relation, especially since he raped her, but still they tried to make it work with their daughter, seeing as his wife forbade him from abandoning the baby, claiming it would cause the baby problems in the future. However two years prior to the moment they got a divorce seeing as Vlad Ramsay couldn't keep it in his pants and kept cheating on his wife.
"Okay mom. I'll call you tomorrow after I finish this 48-hour shift." Belle replied to her mom, bidding her goodbye before ending the call, "007. They're calling me 007, aren't they?" George instantly said as Belle lowered the phone, prompting the redhead and the blonde to reply simultaneously "No one's calling you 007." George wheeled around on the wheelchair a bit more before adding "I was on the elevator and Murphy whispered 007."
Cristina, clearly fed up stood up and walked to the vending machine near them while grumbling at the only male in the group "Oh, how many times do we have go through this, George, five, ten? Give me a number or else I'm going to hit you." "Murphy whispered 007 and everyone laughed." George continued, "He wasn't talking about you." the blonde replied, stretching her arms as she did. "You sure?" O'Malley inquired in a puppy-like tone.
"Would we lie to you?" Belle inquired absentmindedly, "Yes." he retorted at the three women, "007 is a state of mind." Cristina called out to George from the machine making him retaliate "Says the girl who finished top of her class at Stanford." a moment of silence filled the air before a pager went off prompting everyone to look at their until Belle cursed "Shit!" She quickly got up and began to ran off, shouting behind her "It's 911 for Katie Bryce."
The redhead ran as fast as she could, shouting at everyone to get out of her way until she slid into Katie's room, only to find her reading a magazine. "Took you long enough." Katie grumbled as she lowered the magazine. "Are you okay? The nurse paged me 911." Belle inquired, her tone becoming mother-like like it usually did when she was worried, "I had to go all Exorcist to get her to even pick up the phone." Katie said as Belle walked towards her, grabbing the medical file that was at the foot of the bed.
She then moved closer to Katie, placing the file on the bed as she pulled her stethoscope from her neck, "There's nothing wrong with you?" Belle inquried, "I'm bored." the blonde patient stated, shrugging her shoulders, Belle sent her patient a glare before hooking the ear part of the stethoscope in her ears and placing the flat listening part to Katie's chest, listening to her heartbeat while she explained "You don't have to wig out. The pageant's supposed to be on cable, but this crappy hospital doesn't get the channel. If that cow Kylie Wood is gonna walk off with my crown, I have to see it. Can you call someone?"
Belle pulled the stethoscope back and replied "Okay. This is an actual hospital. There are sick people here. Go to sleep and I'll see what I can do to get you the result of the pageant." her tone stern and angry as the patient said "But I can't sleep. My head's all full." sighing Belle grabbed the chart and placed it back at the foot of the bed before heading towards the door and saying "I'll see if they can get you some sleeping pills."
Belle stood by the nurse's desk for what seemed hours until she felt like her bladder was about to explode, prompting her to begin to walk to the bathroom when her pager when off, she quickly turned around and ran back, nearly crashing into nurses and doctors that seem to have flooded the corridor in a matter of seconds until she arrived, the nurses were beginning to Katie's room.
She entered the room so see Katie seizing very badly making her throat close as a nurse said "She's having multiple grand mal seizures, now how do you want to proceed?" Belle's mind rushes to the quickest solution, making her say "Give her Diazepam." "She's got Diazepam, 2mg Diazepam, I just gave her a second dose." Belle nods and quickly grabs the chart, "Okay, she's full on Prazepam?" She inquired, making another nurse reply "She's had 4mg."
Belle looked at the chart again before saying "Page Dr. Bailey and Dr Shepherd stat!" just the a nurse told her "The Prazepam's not working." making the redhead retaliate "Load her with Phenobarbital." making the same nurse reply "Pheno's in." followed by "No change." Belle stepped closer to the seizing girl and called out "I need a crash cart in here, she's gonna crash and page Dr. Shepherd again, don't stop until he's here."
Then just like she had predicted Katie's heart gave out making her crash just as the crash cart arrived, Belle quickly grabbed the paddles and held them up for the liquid and ordered "Charge pulse of two hundred." the nurse obeys and Belle shouts "Clear." before pressing the paddles into Katie's uncovered upper chest, defibbing the paddles. Nothing happens making Belle sighing in fear and order "Charge to 360." as a nurse says 19 seconds, the paddles charge and once they're charged Belle presses them against Katie's chest again, defibbing, but nothing happens again, making the nurse say "27 seconds." "Charge again." Belle countered making the nurse obey, once charged Belle presses the paddles deeper into Katie's chest making the monitor start beeping normally instead of the constant monotone beeping.
"I see sinus rhythm." one nurse says, "Blood pressure's coming up." another says, "All right now. Pressure's returning. Grid's coming back." a third nurse says making Belle sigh in relief and rub Katie's head with her hand and whisper "Good girl." just as Dr. Shepherd runs in. "What the hell happened?" he inquired, pulling his stethoscope from his neck. "She had a seizure, and her heart gave out." Belle replied, stepping away from Katie, allowing Derek to take her place as he echoed "A seizure?" he looked at Belle and snapped "You were supposed to be monitoring her." making her retort "I was, it came on too fast and she crashed too fast before you got here." "I got it. Just...just go." Derek tells her, Belle glares at him incredulous before walking out of the room, crossing paths with Bailey who begins "You get a 911, you page me immediately, not in the five minutes it takes you to get to the emergency, immediately, you are on my team and if somebody dies it's my ass."
"With all the respect I can muster at the moment, I did page, I told them to page you and Dr. Shepherd the moment we noticed she was seizing, so like I said in there to Dr. Shepherd, everything happed too fast before you two even had the chance to get here. Now if you excuse me, I have a bladder to empty." Belle told Bailey, turning away before her attending could even utter a word, pulling her hair tie from her hair and allowing her longish wavy red hair to flow down her back, swaying as she walked.
