Summary
Feeling like he is on thin ice at the hospital after the Match Day debacle, John Carter says nothing when he begins to feel sick during his shift. He thinks it's just the flu. He doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. When Benton asks if he's okay, he insists that he's fine.
He's not fine, and it's not the flu. It's much, much worse.
John's stubbornness and deceit might end up costing him his life.

Summary
Dale didn't mean for this to happen. He didn't mean to hurt John. Not like this.
An angry verbal exchange between John Carter and Dale Edson over John's new intern, Lucy Knight, takes a violent turn. They are in the morgue. There is a walk-in freezer. Dale locks Carter inside and leaves him there.
It was only supposed to be for a few minutes. The pathologist was supposed to come right back. He was supposed to let John out.
That's not what happens.
OR: Carter nearly dies from hypothermia.

Summary
Medwhump May Day 8- Alt prompt: Fever
His student yet again retreats from view, and Peter yet again doesn't give him a second look. Dr Hicks waits for the doors of the OR to swing shut and turns to him.
“Is your student okay, Peter?”
She's met with a derisive scoff.
“He spent the summer sunbathing on a tropical island, he's more than okay.” He gestures to one of the scrub nurses. “Metz.”
OR
Instead of fainting because he was queasy in S2 e1, Carter collapses for a far more urgent reason.

Summary
All things considered, there are worse places to wake up than the floor of an exam room at County. Better places, too, but Carter learned by the end of his first ER rotation that a large part of being successful in emergency medicine is learning to work with what you actually have as opposed to what you wish you did.
For one thing, waking up on the floor of exam two in what Carter assumes is the middle of a shift means he's (1) waking up at all and (2) oriented to person and place. He's not so sure about the time element of it all, but two out of three ain't bad.
