Grace Miller walked through the swishing automatic doors and looked
around the buzzing emergency room, breathing in the sterility with
something akin to trepidation.
A wall of noise greeted her—groans and wails, the occasional scream and
the inevitable sobbing. She might have felt at home with the sounds if she’d
been at a kink club, rather than a hospital.
Along with it came a haze of antiseptic odour that only partially disguised
the more pungent smells, the metallic taint of blood and acrid stench of
vomit.
Grace blew out an uneasy breath. Maybe this hadn’t been such a good idea
after all… except she’d considered all the other options—several times—
and hadn’t managed to come up with a better one.
Perhaps she should just leave it.
She flexed her shoulders and felt the zing of pain arrow down her spine and
the slow, sticky ooze of blood and pus as the fabric of her shirt unstuck
itself from the festering wounds on her back and opened them up yet again.
Somebody jostled her from behind, making her flinch and forcing Grace to
take a couple of hasty steps forward while they cursed her for standing in
the way—more sick and injured people, desperately seeking urgent medical
attention.
Sighing in resignation, Grace steeled herself and mentally pulled up her big
girl panties. She was a respected human rights lawyer, for goodness sake,
accustomed to prosecuting sleaze ball felons who thought they could take
unfair advantage of anybody weaker or more disadvantaged than
themselves. She was perfectly at home haranguing the counsel who was
trying to get them off. She could surely manage to deal with this and still
keep her dignity intact.
Of course, maybe that was the problem. The knowledge that a lawyer such
as herself should be seeking medical attention—long overdue medical
attention—for an injury like this in the first place.
They don’t know what you do for a living, Grace told herself, decisively, as
she made her way, grudgingly, toward a harried looking woman at the
uninviting reception desk.
You’re just another ordinary, unexceptional patient who they’ll deal with
and dismiss before moving on to someone else. They won’t even remember
your details. They’ll be too busy seeing the next person on the never-ending
list of patients they see day in and day out.
And that was what Grace was banking on. The fact that the ER would be
too busy to do anything more than patch her up and send her on her way
without so much as a backwards glance.
It would be several tedious hours before she was seen. Her condition wasn’t
critical after all. But then Grace had known that would be the trade-off for
utilising a system where she could try to remain more anonymous. That was
why she had come in today, on her day off, when there were no other
demands on her time.
