Foreman nodded at Virgina as she was trying to comfort the girl and took the wheelchair. "Let's go..." he said as he wheeled Cecile out of the room down to corridor. He looked at the girl who seemed scared, but also normal again, then back to Chase. "At least we have a clue now what she has. Like she reacted, and also according to her symptoms everything seems like it is a tumor. We'll see on the MRI how it looks like...where it is and how much it has grown...but I only hope there's still a chance to operate on her."

Virgina listened to Foreman talk to the Australian doctor. Looking at the girl she hoped htey wouldn't be too late as well.

When they entered the room they made sure Cecile was comfortable on the bed. After that the three doctors disappeared in their office to start the scan.
"Hold still Cecile" Chase said through the microphone when the machine started zooming. When the images appeared on the screen he gasped. "This can't be..."

((Okay.. I don't know what they will find.. could someone please pm me the symptoms? ))

(okay...I have been thinking about it and I thought they will actually find an aneurysm, but it isn't the cause for her problems and the syntoms continue and get worse after the operation...)

Foreman shook his head as he stared at the monitor. "I've already feared something like this..." he looked back at Chase. "The aneurysm already is spanning across the temporal lobe...God...it's a miracle she is still alive..." He looked back at the monitor and shook his head again. "A girl in her age..." he sighed. "There's no time to lose. We have to take care of this before it is too late..."

Cecile looked around her and suddenly started breathing in and out quickly. She felt like she was trapped, like she had to suffocate in the machine. The walls around her slowly got nearer and nearer, pressing her life out of her. Cold sweat started running from her face as she started to scream. "Get me out! Help me! Help! They want to kill me! I can't get air! I can't breathe! Help!!!"

Foreman got alarmed as the girl started screaming again. "Try to calm down, Cecile. Try breathing...calm...deep..." He stood up. "Hold on, okay?" he said through the microphone. "We will get out of here imediately." He looked at Chase and Virgina. "We have to bring her to the OR right now...she needs an operation as soon as possible."

Chase shut down the MRI-scan and ran into the other room. Carefully he helped Cecile out of the narrow white space. He took her pulse and looked at Foreman with a frown.

"Her heartbeat is racing. This can't be good.. it seems like her heart is about to shut down.." He ran over to a cabinet in the corner and took an oxygen mask to make the girl more comfortable.

"We need to contact her parents.. they need to consent for the operation."

(Isn't dr Cameron in the neighbourhood? )

"No...don't..." Cecile raised her hand and grabbed Chase by his coat, staring at him wide-eyed. Tears came into her eyes again. She got more troubles breathing again. "Please...I...I...don't need them...I am...19...I can do this on my own...please...don't call them..." She stared up at the three doctors, desperate and helpless. "Please...don't tell them...that I am here...please...you don't understand...they...they...will..." she couldn't speak further. She let go of Chase and fell back. "They...will...please...don't...call them..." Cecile whispered. Then, everything around her went black.

Virgina exited to control room, following Chase. She looked at him after Cecile past out. "You couldn't have thought of a better time to mention the parents? It says in her file she is 19, one would have thought you would have looked. 19 year olds don't need parents unless they themselves say so."

((Ok, how do you like Virgina being a House for once, having her Uncles attitude.))

Foreman rushed over to the girl as she fell unconcious again. He shook her. "Cecile? Cecile, answer me...can you hear me?" The girl didn't react. Foreman checked her vitals and looked back at Chase and Virgina. "Her heart is still racing, but her pulse is slowing down. We have to get her to an OR...as soon as possible...we don't have much time left. Her system is collapsing already...she wouldn't make it long anymore."

Cecile wanted to wake up, but she couldn't. Her body...her heart...her head...it hurt so much. Tears ran down her face. She wanted to sleep, she wanted this pain to be over...she wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She felt like trapped, in her own body. And suddenly, she slipped out of her unconcious state. The pain hit her, worse then before. She stared at the doctors in shock...then she started screaming. She couldn't calm anymore. She couldn't stop screaming. She couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to die...she wanted it to be over. The pain was too big to stand.

Chase did at first not respond to Virginia. He ran over to the emergency button and called for a nurse with a dose of stesolid and morphine.

When the nurse rushed in she handed Chase the syringes and without a single glance on the two other doctors he injected them into her arm.

"Hopefully she will now be anxiety and painfree." he at last commented. "This will put her to sleep."

The nurse carried Cecile to her wheelchair and wheeled her out of the room. "Now.. what did you say?" Chase asked Virginia. "Oh yes, you wanted her to consent. Did you consider her situation? She's obviously hallucinating and won't be able to make the right decision. Besides if things are wrong with her and her parents, that can show us whether it is an enviromental symptom."

He looked at Foreman. "What do you think?"

Foreman nodded. "I doubt in her state she even knows what is good for her. She is too scared to make any desicions. We should talk to her parents first...also we need to talk to them to gain some other information from them, like previous illnesses, medical history...and also I think there are some problems to solve in this family...she didn't react like this for no reason." He opened the door and let Chase and Virgina go out before leaving the room. "We should talk to this boyfriend who came with her, Dylan Weaver. Maybe he knows something what is wrong between the Cecile and her parents."

Dylan looked up from the bed as the doctors went in. He had cried again. He couldn't do anything else as the nurse had came in with his girlfriend. "Please...Cec...hold on...hold on...please..." He looked at the doctors, still holding her hand. Tears still ran over his face, but he didn't care. He just looked at the doctors, almost pleading. "Please...tell me...do you...do you know...what is wrong with her?"

"We found a tumor in her brain." Chase said to the boy, he hesitated. Should he tell the boy what was happening to his girlfriend? Then he realised that it was his duty to tell.

"It is bad.. but operable." He looked at Virginia. It would be more like her job to question the boy about his girlfriend's situation. "I'm going to make the call.." he whispered to Foreman and after that he left the hospital room.

Dylan looked shocked as he heard the news. "A tumor...?" he looked down at his sleeping girlfriend. "Cec..." he felt tears in his eyes again, but he knew he had to stay strong now, for Cecile. He had to stay strong. As the doctor left, Dylan looked at the young intern. "Please...please save Cecile...she...she is everything I have. She means everything to me."

Mrs. Baker picked up quite annoyed as the telephone rang. "Baker?" She paused for a moment. "Hospital? Cecile? What has she done again? Did she get in a fight or something?" She sighed. "Why do I always have to stand up for my daughter when she is doing nonsense? Can't this girl get in her head we have something to lose?" She spoke to the doctor on the phone again. "So, tell me. What has she done this time? Why is she in hospital? Should I come to get her or will the police bring her home again?"

Virgian went up to the boy after glaring at Chase witha look that would match her Uncle's. "I under stand your worried, but we need as much information as we can get so we can help your girlfirend. So I need to aske some questions." Virgina waited a moment before continuing. "Has she been on any prescribed medication, any over the counter items, Iam not saying she could be a druggie, but if she urns out to be allergic to any thing we need to know. Also, do you know any of her medical history, an thing in her family's? And is there anything about her family that could contribute to what is happening?"

((How is that for questions.))
