Chapter Seven: Dr. Love

I pulled up to the medical center and hopped out of the car. I ran to the passenger side to an unconscious Ben with very shallow breathing. His face was swollen beyond recognition, I turned hysterical.

“Hang in there, Ben,” I grunted and sobbed as I placed my hands under his arms then pulled him out of the car. His feet fell to the asphalt with a thud. I kicked the door closed with my silver heel as hard as I could then dragged his heavy, near lifeless body into the emergency room.

“Help!” I sobbed as I entered the automatic doors. “He’s barely breathing,” No response, so I turned my head to see the waiting room was packed with people; some bleeding profusely, some sneezing, and some in wheelchairs with blankets draped on their legs.

“Somebody help us, please!” I said louder as I cried. “He can’t breathe!” I heard the receptionist from behind me pick up her phone then call for help. My arms were going numb, a thousand prickles of needles coursed through my fingers. I gently lay Ben onto the white linoleum as two nurses and a doctor came rushing to his side.

“What happened?” the tan-skinned doctor with short black hair and blue eyes said as he listened to Ben’s breathing.

“He ate fish,” I sobbed.

“Get me a gurney, now,” he placed his hands under Ben’s arms. “He’s having a severe allergic reaction with respiratory distress,” The small-framed blonde nurse ran into the room closest to the reception desk and within seconds was back with a black, padded bed with a white fitted sheet draped across that barely fit. With the doctors’ hands under Ben’s arms, the pudgy red headed nurse with her hands under his back, and the blonde with her hands under his ankles, they lifted him onto the gurney. I ran behind them as they wheeled him into a room.

“Epi,” the doctor demanded as he and the blonde hooked Ben up to check his vitals. The doctor unbuttoned the wrist of Ben’s dress shirt, ripping it up the arm to expose his shoulder.

“Is he going to be okay?” I asked, my hands were shaking.

“He will be fine, we just have to give him an Epi-shot, a steroid, and some Benadryl,” he smiled at me.

Oh, my… dimples.

“Dr. Roberts,” the red headed nurse said breathlessly as she rushed back into the room with a shot.

“This will just take a few moments to kick in,” he jabbed the needle into Ben’s shoulder. I winced then wrapped my arms around me for comfort.

“Some Prednisone, and Benadryl please, Natasha,”

“Yes, sir,” the blonde nurse smiled at Dr. Roberts. I heard the heart monitor start to beep rapidly. “It’s working already,” he smiled at me reassuringly. The blonde nurseNatasha- was back with the other shots. With a shot in both hands he jabbed Ben’s shoulder again. I turned my head.

I could see Ben’s chest rising higher with every breath. Thank you, God! I thought he was going to die.

“You would think with an allergy this bad he would be carrying an Epipen,” Dr.
