Natalie had just finished sedating a patient, as she began to walk away, the other doctors and security handling the remainder of the situation. She heard the patient yell a few more things, before it became quiet, the sedatives kicking in, and Natalie feeling relieved to hear quiet once again. She would have to tell her boss about that, hoping she could still keep him as her patient, until they were able to find out what was wrong with him and hopefully fix it.
She continued to walk down the hall, feeling her head pounding from all the excitement today. She hadn't been working here TOO long, not as long compared to others that is, but she always remembered Julianna's words
"We are know as the best but we are because he handle things before they get out of control."
Natalie was afraid that she did not fall under that category of being 'the best'. She wanted to be good at her job, so that she could get a permanent position here, but situations like the one that had just occurred made her wonder if she would ever get that, and if she would ever be a good doctor. She was pulled from her thoughts when she accidentally bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" She said, already apologizing for her distracted mind. Focus Cooper..focus!
[and that person who she bumped into...is entirely up to you Julie!]

Izzie had finally tracked down her patient who had ran from his room. She had heard that hehad been sedated by one of the psychiatrists and was being held there. She was relieved he didnt escape the hospital. She would have gotten hell from Bailey if she had let him leave.
Still a bit frazzled from trying to locate the patient, Izzie didnt even see the other doctor until they bumped into each other causing Izzie to drop the patients file and scatter the pages across the floor. "No, its my fault I'm sorry! I wasnt watching where I was going." She apologized bending down to try to collect her papers.

"No really, I shouldn't be so distracted to the point of not realizing someone is directly in front of me," she told the woman apologetically as she too bent down and helped her gather her papers. "I guess this is what happens when two people don't watch where their going," she said smiling. "No apologies needed though," she told her as she stood up once the woman's papers were back together.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked, wondering if she needed assistance and since Natalie was one of the few psychiatrists in the hospital, she wondered if she could help her with anything.

"I should definitely start watching where I'm going too." Izzie agreed, getting the last of the papers from her chart and taking the ones the other woman had helped her gather. "Thank you" She said appreciatively, getting them all back in order where they belong.
When she asked if she could help her with anything she figured maybe she had seen her patient (since he was a loud patient and hard to miss...even if Izzie had been looking for him for awhile). "I dont know if you can or not....I'm looking for my patient, he kind of walked off on me...one of the nurses thought he might have been up this way"

"You're welcome," Natalie replied as thanked her for helping her. "Oh, your patient?" When she heard the description of him, it seemed obvious which patient that was. It would explain why she was so frantic to find it...or so Natalie assumed by how the woman asked about him. "There is a man down there," she began to explain, pointing down the hall where there were people dragging him off.
"He's heavily sedated and is being transferred here...until someone tells us otherwise. He might be your guy," she suggested, already thinking that it was, but still not 100% sure.

"There is?" Izzie said hopefully as she listened to the other woman explain that there was a patient who had just been sedated down there. She really hoped it was her guy, she didnt know how she'd explain losing a patient to Bailey and the Chief. It would be easier to explain killing a patient.
"I hope that's him, he's gotta be around here somewhere..." Izzie said, realizing what a bad impression she was probably making on this other doctor. Interns couldnt afford to make bad impressions. "I really dont lose track of patients often, this guy is just...creative at getting away...Oh, I'm Izzie Stevens by the way. Thank you again for your help"

Natalie continued to smile at the woman, who she know introduced herself as Izzie Stevens. "Natalie Cooper," she said, returning the introduction. "I think it may be...he is the only unfamiliar patient I have seen up here. What were you treating him for? Perhaps its not a mental condition, in which case, you can take him right back," she said, already assuming that he seemed like a bit of a handful.
"You don't need to explain Doctor Stevens. I understand that sometimes the patient just gets out of control, and sometimes we just can't handle them. It actually took me longer that it should have to sedate him," she admitted, hoping it didn't make her seem bad at her job.

"Oh he's not here for a mental condition though if he keeps running away maybe he should be" Izzie joked with the woman, grateful that if it was her patient she would just be able to take him back quickly (and hopefully before anyone noticed). "He's scheduled for neurosurgery in the morning to fix a lesion thats been affecting his personality, causing mood swings...like making him run away"
Izzie smiled as the other doctor admitted that it had taken her longer than it should have to sedate the patient. That did make Izzie feel better about having lost him. " I'm glad I'm not the only one who's having problems with him"

"Ohh, I see!" Natalie said understandingly when Izzie explained to her that the patient had a brain condition that he needed to be treated for. She laughed a little when Izzie said that he should be if he keeps running away. "When time in the morning is he scheduled for surgery? I hope its as early as possible...his next great escape might lead him outside the hospital," she told her, knowing that she probably didn't need any reminders.
"Not at all!" Natalie said smiling when she said she was glad she wasn't the only one who was having problems with him. "He caused quite a commotion up here, but at least its under control now. You can take him back whenever you like. My suggestion is to do it while he's sedated...and then restrain him somehow."

"He's not scheduled until 10, he should definitely get bumped up though. Part of triage should include likelyhood to skip town on us" Izzie suggested feeling relieved that this woman was so understanding.
Izzie listened as Natalie explained the commotion that her patient had caused up here. "I am sorry about that, I hope it wasnt too disruptive, I'm sure you have your hands full with patients like that, you dont need another one...I think I'll take that suggestion. He's getting restrained when he gets back"
