Summary
The beat of the chest compressions bangs in his head like a sledgehammer. Hands clenched together, arms aching, he pumps against Carter’s heart. Seconds tick by. How long has it been? He feels something give way, under his hands. On the next compression, a distinctive crack sounds through the room. Peter doesn’t let up. Broken ribs are nothing, now. An afterthought. He keeps going, staring fiercely at the heart monitor. Straight line. He keeps going. Carter’s chest inflates up and down with artificial breaths. He pumps against it. Again and again and again.
“Don’t be an asshole, Carter,” Peter snarls. Or pants. He can feel heavy beads of sweat gathering on his forehead. He pays them no mind. “Don’t you dare die.”
OR: A freak accident during a trauma sends Carter into sudden cardiac arrest.
Set in S3.

Summary
Benton lifts an eyebrow. “What is this?” He gestures at John’s splayed-out form on the exam table, shirt undone and pulled up almost to his shoulders. Needles in his back. John feels a brief flush of self-consciousness. He’s quite exposed.
Stanley answers for him. “I was helping Doctor Carter with his back pain,” the younger man explains, while John tries to gather himself.
“His back pain,” Benton repeats, eyes narrowed.
Oh, Christ, John thinks.
OR: Carter and Benton have a much-needed conversation about addiction and chronic pain. Set in Season 8.

Summary
Walking through the city on his way home from work, John Carter somehow ends up hanging from one of the many bridges that dot the Chicago River. It’s almost December. And it's a long way to fall.
Water fills his mouth. He kicks himself back up, choking on it. More screaming, from up above. Oh god. Oh god. It’s getting harder to tread water. His hands and feet are numb. His kicks are getting weaker. He can hardly keep his head above water as he wheezes in between coughs.
There’s a strange buzzing in his ears. Everything is dulling. He’s supposed to cover the ER for Benton tomorrow. What is the surgeon going to think when he doesn’t show up?
Everything is going gray. He can’t think. He can’t see. He can’t breathe. He can't breathe.
