My body naturally kicks into overdrive.  My short legs chase after the other as I race towards the ambulances.  A piercing wail from a fire truck fights my eardrums. 

I push past uniformed bodies.  Several bodies already lay on gurneys.  I set my hands on one, quickly inspecting the human on it.  Male, probably seventeen, several third degree burns to his parietal, burning off bits of hair.  Burns cover his lumbar, even his popliteal.  Random splotches of violent red tear at his body.  I notice his breathing hitch, the EMT's are too busy to notice.

I place a delicate cold hand on his forehead.  I make a shushing noise, like I used to do with the babies when I was a neonatal surgeon.  His eyes close.

"The hell are you doing?" An EMT turns my way, his middle aged face contorted in rage.

"Helping." I answer shortly. I dig my hands through an EMT bag to help calm his raging burns.

"Civilians step back." The EMT puts a strong hand on my right forearm. He squeezes tightly.

"Dude, back off." I yank my arm back.

"Miss-"

"I'm a surgeon, God dammit!"

There is a moment of silence as he takes in my ripped jeans, my thigh high boots, my obvious cleavage, and my blonde hair.

I almost turn red as he laughs. Grabbing my by my waist he pushes me back yet again.

"BP is dropping!" Another woman shouts from behind him.

Shit.

"Get epinephrine!" I shout as the EMT blocks my vision. "He's going in to shock you have to-"

"Listen," the EMT looks at me with concern. I wiggle against his grip while Sam stands there dumbfounded. Dumb ass.

"You're drunk. Maybe being a doctor was a childhood dream? Just leave us be and get some rest."

"Get off asshole, I'm a surgeon!" I beat my fist against his arm.

"Time of death-" I hear faintly behind his bulky body. I finally give up letting the massive medic man handle out of the scene.

Now all I can do is watch my whole apartment building get developed in flames.

Shit.

"Sam?" I say slowly, still pissed off. "I need you to drive me to Seattle tomorrow."

Short but sweet? Remember! This will not follow the plot of Greys!
