    Summary

    AU version of Backward Benton (Season 7, episode 4) where Carter takes a hit following the gang-related shooting in Trauma Room 2, because that’s the kind of luck he has, and the injury presents challenges to his recovery from opioid addiction. His hospital family tries to help him through it but life continues to pile on in the process. Most of what happens in season 7 still happens except Mark never gets a brain tumor because that’s the way I want it so that’s how it shall be. This is the first chapter of eight (or more).

    Content Warning: Current/future chapters will touch on addiction, depression, sexual abuse/assault, eating disorders, and suicide. I will add new warning tags as the subjects arise in upcoming chapters.

    A special thanks to The Pitt for turning me on to E.R. Watching both is the extent of my medical knowledge. Please, forgive me.
