It's easier to work with fainted patients; less motion for setting the bone in a broken wing which is a pain in the ass to begin with. She wasn't out for long though, she woke up about forty five seconds later, still kind of weary from the set of events that had just taken place.
"What happen?" She asked still all weary and what not.
"You broke your wing after a scooter related accident. Then you fainted after I popped the bone back into place" By this time I was already splinting the wing to her body. She had some tears running down her eyes and to be honest, I felt bad for the filly. Her wings represented her freedom that she had. I wish I could fly, but NO I had to be born a unicorn instead. I digress.
"Don't cry, your wings will be working again back in no time" I said and I tried to put a smile on my face.
"Do you know how long it will take?" She asked wiping tears from her eyes.
"I'm not gonna lie, probably about two months, give or take your recovery speed" I saw her heart sink in her eyes and she put her head down. She had more tears sweltering in her eyes. I didn't know what to say so I just kept my mouth shut. When I had finished bandaging her up she began to sob and buried her head in her front legs. I hate it when I see anyone this sad, or sad at all in fact.
"Don't cry, the EMT's that were here are going to get your parents now they should be here soon" I said with a smile on my face, but what I heard next made my heart sink.
"I don't have any parents. I live at the Ponyville orphanage." This probably brought more tears to her eyes. I felt like a dick to bring that up.
"I'm sorry to hear that." That is all I could say, and I felt like a dick for it to.
"I'm sorry to." She said which made me raise an eyebrow.
"Why are you sorry."
"To waste your time, just like I wasted my parents time" Ugh that hit me in my heartstrings.
"You didn't waste my time at all. I'm on emergency calls for the rest of the day." It's what we do from making our work stale. switch off every now and then. "What's your name" It's about time I asked.
"Scootaloo" She said in between sobs.
"My name is doctor Star, but you can call me North" I said, trying to muster up another smile. I could hear yelling down the hall way. Something told me it was Helga, the orphanage's head honcho. She completely ignored the nurse yelling at her to wait in the waiting room. Needless to say she was a stereotypical orphanage runner or whatever they call themselves. Completely ignoring the nurses she barged into our room and looked down at Scootaloo, and then to me.
"Thank you so much for bandaging up Scootaloo for me, she had me so worried." She said in the most obnoxious, uptight voice I have ever heard and Scootaloo shot her a dirty look.
"It's my job. I say I'm second best at it, reason why I say that is because my father is still here." I said and she laughed.
"Now if you don't mind I will be bringing Scootaloo back home now" She said and I watched Scootaloo's ears drop. I couldn't just let Helga take her back. I could only do one thing at the moment.
"But I do mind you see, Scoot's needs to stay here for a couple of days so we can monitor her condition. A broken wing is serious and needs special treatment." I completely made that bullshit lie up.
"I have never heard of such a thing in my entire life." She said and looked at me in disgust.
"Better believe it. You can come back in...lets say about a week" I lied again.
"Fine" She said, and she walked out of the room. Scootaloo had stopped crying and she almost had a smile on her face.
"I completely lied to her. I hope you know that." I told her. She laughed a little, still kinda sobbing.
"You didn't have to do that." She said. I smiled and said.
"I know. I just couldn't stand to see you go back there. I could tell how much you hate it."
She shouted "Finally somepony believes me!"
