Chapter 934 - Visiting the TV show set (1) (1/2)

~ Los Angeles ~

10:22 AM

JoAnna met with Emma and Charlie in front of the recording studio for the TV drama 'Good Heart 911' . That is the TV drama where JoAnna is contributing as a medical expert. Today she has a meeting with the production crew at 10:30, and Emma asked if she can join her to see the set.

Emma is a fan of the show and she asking JoAnna more than once when can she get a chance to see the set with a hope to meet one of those heartthrob actors. Photos and an autographs would be amazing!

JoAnna didn't expect Charlie, but one more can't hurt.

”I hope it's not a problem that I joined.”, Charlie said with a big smile when two bodyguards helped him from the backseat of the car into the wheelchair.

JoAnna responded while trying to gauge Emma's mood. ”Not a problem.”

Bodyguards stayed by the car, and JoAnna, Emma and Charlie approached security gate at the entrance of the studio and got passes to hang around their necks. JoAnna's said 'CREW' , and Emma's and Charlie's were 'GUEST' .

JoAnna saw that Charlie is uncomfortable and thought how it's because he came without prior notice. She decided to provide few words of encouragement: ”It's absolutely fine that you joined. I have about half an hour meeting with production crew and it's good that Emma will have company. You two can check out the set while you wait. What do you say?”

Charlie craned his neck to see Emma who is pushing the wheelchair.

Emma smiled and nodded.

JoAnna took a mental note to ask Emma what that was about. Last time when JoAnna went to Charlie's home to check his legs, Emma was also there. JoAnna had a suspicion that there is something going on between Emma and Charlie. She asked Emma about that, and Emma swore that there is nothing going on other than a respectable patient-nurse relationship. And JoAnna believed her. But now that she sees how Charlie is looking at her, she will need to ask again. JoAnna is not sure if Emma is ignoring him on purpose or is not aware that he is interested.

”Let's meet here in about half an hour.” JoAnna instructed before heading for her meeting. ”If I'm here and you are not, I will give you a call and I can join you for a tour. If it seems that my meeting will take longer, I will let you know.”

Emma and Charlie agreed and told her not to worry about them. They promised not to cause any trouble.

JoAnna looked after two of them for a second before going to talk to screenwriters, director and the producers. They are working on a high level script for the upcoming season and JoAnna agreed to tell them how different health related conditions would be treated, so that they can get equipment in advance. The ratings of the show improved since JoAnna is making it 'medically accurate' , and even the ones who didn't want to listen to her modifications at first are now converted into believers. It's not that an average viewer understands the changes in the show, but medical workers do and some critics as well, and that improved reviews of the show which caused a cascading effect of increased viewership.

JoAnna also suggested that all actors who are in medical roles take some first aid training. It helps the show to appear more realistic if they know how to handle a syringe when giving an injection, or a needle for a blood draw, or at least to give stitches and put on a bandage. That was accepted as well.

JoAnna is very proud of the impact she has on this show. She didn't expect that they will listen her to this degree.

While JoAnna is discussing needs of the upcoming season with the crew, Emma is pushing Charlie's wheelchair through the set.
