For c_masterminds - Campbell's Coma
Springboard 11: Most interesting/memorable/horrible/etc experience with your partner/team/client.etc.
Most horrible award goes to Campbell’s diabetic coma last year. He scared the shit out of me when it happened. I like to think I’m reasonably calm under pressure, but there’s a difference between being calm under a pressure you know about and recognize-and being calm under a pressure you have no power against.
It scared me more than any work related thing could have. In fact, it would hands down have to be one of the fucking scariest things in my entire life. I thought I was going to lose him. And how was I supposed to get revenge on diabetes? A suspect, or whatever, I could have made suffer. There wasn’t really anything I could do about Campbell’s diabetes attack other than get him to the hospital and make sure he got the medical treatment he needed. Make sure to call his brother so he had family.
I sat by his bedside the whole time. I remember telling Pierce to go fuck himself when he demanded I get back to work. I’m lucky I didn’t get fired. Mark, Campbell’s brother, also had to physically drag me away at one stage to force me to go eat. I refused to leave Campbell’s side. I just kept holding his hand and watching and waiting for him to wake up. If he hadn’t have woken up I was probably going to shock him awake just so I could kill him for fucking leaving me.
So anyway, there you have. My most horrible experience with my partner.
