Needing Her Help || Derek and Teddy

Derek kept his eyes on her. How was he supposed to communicate with her. He then realized. Blinking. Once for yes and twice for no. He looked at Teddy and blinked once. Well, he kind of remembered it. He glanced upwards as if to say check his head. Do a CT. He wished he could actually speak right now. Even if it was to say to do a CT.

“There’s a marked loss of ability by means of speech, but his cerebral function seems intact,” Teddy muttered to the assisting resident. She was relieved to see the response in Derek’s eyes; if that one sign checked out, it meant that it wasn’t too late to save him — yet. “I think we have time for a CT, since we have him stabilized — page neuro for me when we get up there, okay? But not Amelia Shepherd — in fact, keep her as far out of the way as you can. Derek, stay with us, okay?”
