Title: Worse As Usual
Rating: G
Author: seramercury
Characters: John, Jennifer
Notes: It short, I know...
John followed Ronon down the corridors of the Daedalus, nodding to everyone as they passed by. Slouching in the pilot chair did nothing for his sore ribs and he was suddenly finding it increasing difficult to breath deeply. Black dots invaded his vision and as Ronon called his name, John was falling to the floor.
When John woke up he noticed he was back on Atlantis. This was odd to him since before he collapsed he had been on the Daedalus and they were pretty far from their planet. John also noticed that it felt as if his chest has been smashed to pieces.
"Colonel Sheppard."
"Doc," he replied when Keller came up to him. "How long have I been out?"
Keller finished jotting a few notes in his chart before she responded. "It wasn't good, Colonel. You were in serious distress. Apparently, not only were you hypoxic, but that Wraith cracked a rib. Although when Ronon caught you from falling to the floor, the rib broke and it pierced your lung. They almost lost you en-route to Atlantis."
"That's why my chest feels like it does."
"That's why," she said with a nod.
John looked around. "Where is everyone?"
"Oh they've been floating in and out since you were brought in last night, but I specifically told them to stay away until I've contacted them because you needed rest. I mean, Dr. McKay was here every 15 minutes and my staff couldn't treat other patients because he kept bothering them and asking how you were doing."
John chuckled, then winced at the sudden pain that flared. He felt Keller's hand rubbing his back soothingly. "Thanks, I'm fine. I don't suppose they could come in for a bit? I'd really like to see them."
"Of course they can, Colonel. I'll get them right now."
"Thanks, Doc."
