The usual exam room was crowed with four of us. A Canadian PA came in and did usual check up on Jason. (She had such a cute accent; east coast/French-ish, with "eh" on almost every end of the sentence. I had to ask her where she was from, and she said she was from Canada.) She said that the line was a little bit different from the ones she was used to in Canada "eh", so she was going to have someone from SCCA to pull it out "eh".
So, another PA came in - a cute Indian PA; not native American Indians, but from India, dark skin, beautiful big black eyes with long eye lushes. Her english was perfect though. I had to ask again where she was from. There are large Indian population in Sammamish, and usually they have quite strong accent. I think their accent is... soothing... like Yoga. Anyway, she was from Oregon.
She started with some explanations; she had done this procedure before- many times, sometimes it gets hard to pull out or break, in that case, Jason would be sent to operation immediately, etc. She took out the dressing (a tape securing the line), cleaned the line and skin, and snipped off some stitches that was holding the line and the skin.
The Indian PA tried several times to see if it would start moving. She finally gave up, and said she would bring someone else to try for the last time before they send Jason down to operation. She said he was an experienced and strong doctor. The word "STRONG" scared Jason; he didn't look too happy. It was hurting him by the little Indian lady doctor, and now a strong male doctor was really yank it out.
As soon as the male doctor came in, Jason's smile came back. The doctor was one of the favorite doctors he had while he was at UW Medical Center. I had never met him, but I heard about him a lot; the Burger Master doctor. There is a burger restaurant in Seattle called Burger Master, and the doc was highly recommending Jason to go when he got better.
The exam room was REALLY crowded. The Canadian PA, Indian/Oregonian PA, the Burger Master doctor, and us. They did quick update, and the Burger Master doctor told me to come behind him to get better video shot of the main event. Also, he told Jason to turn his head to side, take a deep breath, and quick few yank... the line started to move! It was like a magician pulling a string of flags out of his finger. Within a few second, the whole line came out, and the Burger Master doctor put his hands on Jason's chest where the line was coming out to put pressure on. A few minutes later, they put the band-aid on, and the doc told us that we could go Burger Master anytime because Jason had been recovering really well.
Also, the Burger Master doctor asked us if we wanted to take the line home. Of course "yes". He put it in a urine sample bottle, and gave it to Ty.
Well, I tried to upload the video, but it didn't work. I'll try again later.
Thanks for reading the blog.
