CYPHER

Let's play house doctors..

" You f*****g bitchhh !!! ".

" How dare you do that without telling me !!".

Dean ignored the cussing and stood up to check the shoulder , it was now currently in place and had been perfectly set , his lecturers needed to see how ahead he was .

Dean laughed as he turned to Martha's disgruntled face .

" This was my very first bone realignment and it was so beautifully successful even though I was worried because of the subjects body mass ".

Martha shuddered as her body trembled still from the pain of her shoulders .

" Subject ? You f*****g quack , you are going to use me as your f*****g guinea pig ?!?! "

Dean shook his head , appalled at the accusations .

" That would be terrible , I mean using someone as temperamental and muscular as you as a guinea pig and I am no quack .

I might not have a license , but that is only because I am still studying for it and you should be thanking me for saving your arm ".

" The only reason I knew what to do is because I always read ahead of what we were currently studying which took a lot of effort and if I knew I would someday be getting kicked around just because of my knowledge , I would have read less and slept more ".

By the time Dean was done talking , Martha looked very uninterested in whatever he had been saying .

Dean still had to feel her stomach and side for broken ribs .

He had gotten her angry hoping to hear a shortness of breath that usually came when someone had broken ribs .

But , that was not enough proof that she did not have any broken ribs .

Dean did not intend to examine under her in a room filled with people staring , he would not subject his patient to scrutiny even if she seemed to not care .

The doors burst open and Jade ran in with the two men that had gone with him on the errand .

Their arms were filled with different unidentifiable things and the last man seemed to be carrying something that looked a lot like a microwave .

Dean waited for Jade to catch his breath as he approached him .

" We brought everything that I thought could be useful and since there was no time to sterilize the equipment , I stopped at the chemistry laboratory and brought a water bath along ".

Dean nodded gratefully and instructed them to leave what they had brought on the sides of the table that had not been occupied by Martha .

He asked Top dog go find an electricity outlet they could plug the water bath to so it could heat up before they started working .

He turned to May and braved past the glare that was now permanently etched in her face .

" Can you stand ? "

She rolled her eyes before she pushed herself off Blade to show that she could , Dean was about to complain that she could not as he saw her wobbly legs but changed his mind when he saw her face and the deathly expression she had on it .

" I want some kind of curtain around her , there is enough of you to stand close enough so she does not get anxious from the number of eyes on her and possibly freak out while I am working ".

" Why do I have to do that ? I will not ".

Dean smiled softly and pointed at the way Martha was laying unconsciously and Lay groaned loudly ..

May nodded and turned around to count the amount of men than Blade had left behind .

They would not be enough for a full circle but they would have to do so that Dean could commence treatment .

" I want you all to surround the doctor with your backs to him and your faces on these creepy folks surrounding us !!! Get on to it right now n' ".

The men , including Jade ran to do as May had instructed .

While Dean pointed at Jade , he would have to hurry so that May did not have to stand for long .

" Not you , I need your help in case there is something I can not handle ".

Top dog came in then with a bunch of rulers and other stationeries , Dean sighed , at least he could have done much worse .

When he saw the men that had surrounded them , he ran forward and through them .

" What are you doing ? "

Dean ignored his question and picked a new set of gloves to wear , putting them on methodically like he had taught himself to .

" Ask your men to complete the circle so that May does not have to stand and leave those with the rest of the things ".

Blade wanted to protest but he changed his mind after observing what Dean was trying to do and did as Dean had instructed .

Dean looked at Jade .

" You can start sterilizing the equipments , I will need them soon ".

Dean bent and looked through the pills Jade had brought till he found what he was looking for , he brought two of the pills to Martha's and held it to her mouth.

" Open up , this will make everything as far from lucid as possible and help you not feel as much pain as you are likely to feel ".

She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue and Dean dropped it carefully on her tongue so she would not end up choking .

Dean then looked through the first set of equipment that Jade had sterilized , a scissor was ones of it .

He grabbed the end of Martha's bloody tank top and began to cut , cutting it into two and letting it fall to expose her mid section .

Her stomach was discoloured like Dean had suspected .

He began to feel through her ribs till he found the broken one, he felt another one the two broken ribs .

He moved to the other side and felt around the other side , he found one broken rib here.

" How many broken ribs does she have ? "

Dean looked up at Jade and raised three fingers .

" I tried to get her to cuss at me and she did so without any shortness of breath , she is not coughing up blood either so that is good , it is not very bad ".

" What are you going to treat her with , then ? "

Dean turned to the new voice , May.

She had left the circle and was now sitting on the floor , she was more exhausted than she was letting on .

But Dean knew not to ask her questions .

" Usually , broken ribs that are not very severe like this case would be getting the ice pack versus heat pack treatment but we do not have the luxury of heat , so we will just have to do it the old fashioned way of wrapping her ribs tightly enough , keeping her away from strenuous activities and dosing her up on pain relievers and hoping she heals without a permanent disfigurement of any parts of her body ".

May nodded and looked down at Martha who had fallen asleep probably a while back .

" That sounds like a quacks diagnosis and treatment plans ".

Jade snorted before he covered up his mouth and Dean rolled his eyes at them .

" I am doing the best I can in this situation besides this quack is the reason you are still alive ".

" Yeah , alive enough to help the woman that almost killed me protect her dignity while you treat her broken ribs and fingers and shoulders . f**k, just how many broken things does she carry ? "

Dean took out the only available thing he could use to wrap her ribs and held it out for Jade to hold .

He rubbed some ointment he had found too around her before he placed the wrapping clothes around her and realized there was no way he could wrap her alone .

Especially now that he had put her to sleep .

He turned to May and then to Jade , May jumped on her feet , shaking her head vehemently .

" Hell no , you are not going to make me actively help her put on garters ".

Dean blinked while Jade turned himself into a jack in the box that laughed anytime May opened her mouth .

" May , you are the only one that can save her , her life and future are in your hands , you have got to do something about it ! ".

Dean shouted theatrically and Top dog turned hurriedly turned around , he looked from Dean to May and then Jade before he slowly turned back around .

May groaned before she slowly stood up and walked over to where he stood .

Dean caught sight of her shoulders and lifted his finger .

" Give me a minute to wrap up her shoulder so that he does not hurt more than necessary ".

Jade passed him the ointment again and he applied a generous amount before wrapping the white bandage around her shoulder .

Once he was done , he carefully lifted her shoulders while Jade and May each focused on a leg .

" One , two , now! ".

They all heaved and Lifted , gently placing her on her side .

Dean ran to wrap the cloth around her back so they could again lift her up .

He stopped abruptly before he could reach her back and stared behind her head .

Her hair had matted into a large clump behind her head .

Dean put his hand into his pocket and brought out his flashlight .

Her whole head was drenched with her blood , they had not noticed because the table was dark and her clothes were dark too .

May came around to check out what he was staring at , she exhaled softly as she saw the bloody mess that was the back of her head .

" s**t ! "

Shit was the right thing to say because it was all coming down to s**t .
