“Is Katherine available?”
“Uhh. God I hate to wake her. She’s been in horrible pain since I got her home from Saint Joe’s on Friday. I think she finally just fell a sleep.”
“This is Dr. Allan.”
“Oh! Calling us back! Great! We want to up her Vicodin. She’s been miserable since we got home.”
“Hmm. I’ve got her labs from Friday.”
“Yeah, they came back before you discharged her.”
“Hmm. I need Katherine at the hospital for readmission.”
“Why?”
“Her hemocrit dropped substantially.”
“Why?”
“She’s probably bleeding internally.”
The phone hit the floor. “Kate!, Kate! OH MY GOD!”
