Super Beginnings

Chapter Thirty Four - Go to First Aider

We are now onto the episode of shimmer episode 10

I was out on the field running track. When Whitney came running up to me and stopped breathing heavily. Slowing down I halted in front of him

"You're needed in the nurses office. First aid." he breathed

"What about the nurse?" I question

"Off Sick. Principal Kwan said you're the only one qualified." Not what I expected but okay. We ran to the nurses office and entered Principal Kwan was there with Troy Turner, my brother and Pete.

"Miss Kent, these are unusual circumstances, but aside from nurse Kitcher who is off sick you're the only one with a high qualification in first paediatric aid. I need to know if Mr Turner here is in need of hospital treatment or if he can be treated here." he informed me

"Okay." I grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled something down then handed it to Kwan "it's no lawyer drawn document but it says that for today you officially give me permission to give first aid in your presence and follow treatment advice." he sighed off and I haded it to troy

"You as well." he gave a quick scribble "Okay you three need to go." Whitney, Pete and Clark left. I grabbed some close and slipped them on

"I'm just gonna move up your shirt. Can you tell me what happened?" I assessed the brushes that were beginning to form and pressed down slightly

"Someone hit me with a dumbbell" he groaned

"Someone strong. I'm gonna check for possible broken ribs" i pressed softly and he winced in pain "Hurt anywhere else?" I ask

"Got hit in the head by a locker door." he admitted and I grabbed the pen torch from the nurses desk I shone it in each eye.

"Your arm hurt?" I question seeing him cradling it.then scanned down using x-ray vision. That did not look good. He nodded and I turned to Professor Kwan

"Hospital." Kwan sighed but nodded "They'll need to confirm but I suspect at least two broken ribs, possible hairline fracture in the arm and a concussion."

"Thank you, Miss Kent." I removed the gloves and turned back to Troy

"You won't be able to do any strenuous activity for a couple of months and you'll be on pain meds but if you follow the hospital's instructions you'll be back to your normal self before school ends." Troy nodded to me and i left

I entered the coffee shop where I was meeting up with Clark and Chloe, I saw the two talking with Lana and was going to join them, when yet again I was stopped by Whitney who was already in there.

"Mia, are you busy...I need your help." I glance at my brother and friend and Lana who were now looking at the two of us.

"Sure, what is it?" he took my hand and pulled me out of the coffee shop. He lead me down the street to his Dad's store. We we've through to the back where his Dad was.

"Dad." Mr Fordman turned around "You know Mia Kent." he gestured to me

"Hi, Mr Fordman." I gave a awkward wave and he smiled weakly at me

"The famous Mia. My son never stops talking about you, anyone would think you're a miracle worker who can walk on water. Always comes back from your tutoring sessions with a smile." I glance up at the blonde

"Does he now?"

"Not the point. Dad, Mia's trained in first aid and she's read nearly every medical book she can lay her hands on. Will you let her look at you?" Whitney stated then turned to me "My Dad's not been feeling right and he refuses to see a Doctor. You're the next best thing and he might actually listen to you."

"Son. Please."

"No you said that if i could get someone who was not a doctor, you wouldn't flat out say no. Mia's not a official doctor, she had all the knowledge without the medical degree. I trust that she'll give you the right advice."

"Whitney..." I say

"Please." he pleads with both of us as his mom comes over and he dad struggles out a sigh.

"If you're okay with it." Whitney gave me a pleading look and I copied his Dad's actions

"i have a growing doctors kit back home. If Whitney drives I can be there and back within half an hour. But...I will say though I am trained, I do not properly substitute for an actual hospital Doctor." They nodded "Fine." Whitney and I ran to his truck and he drove me home.

"Why won't your dad go to a actual doctor?" I question

"He thinks it's nothing, age catching up with him but he hasn't been right for days." he admitted and I rubbed my eyes.

"Is this why you haven't been your usual self?" he nodded "Okay and does Lana know?" he shook his head

"For some reason I just can't tell her. please don't tell her." he glanced at me

"She's gonna find out eventually, but it won't be from my lips." I arrived back home and headed into the house. Mom and Dad weren't there so I grabbed what I needed only to find them talking to Whitney.

"Mia what's going on? Where are you going with that?" Mom questioned and i got into the truck

"I'll explain when i can. Let's go" Whitney pulled out and drove away "Great now I'm running off from my parents." I sighed

"You could have told them." he replied

"They'd told me not to get involved, that he needs proper doctors not a teenager book worm with a few first aid certificates. I would rather them tell me that later when I've helped then hinder me and it turn into a bad situation." we arrived at Whitney's home and was let inside. I took out my stethoscope and listen to his heart. Not a normal rhythm for a healthy human.

"How long have you felt breathless?" I ask

"A few days." Mr Fordman answered

"Any chest pains or loss of normal motor function?" he nodded humming slightly. I took the small torch out and checked his eyes. "Okay take my hands, pull me as hard as you can." he did.

"Now push me away." he did "Grip tight." I checked his glands

"Open your mouth say ahhh." he did

"So?" Mrs Fordman questioned hopeful it was some good news, sadly it wasn't. I sighed and put my things away.

"Mr Fordman you need to be in hospital, your heartbeat is irregular, your motor functions are weaker than i would estimate for you and." Mr Fordman gripped his seat "Mr Fordman. Mr Fordman" crap

"He me lower his to the floor." Whitney did "Call 911, he's having a heart attack." I rested his head down. I moved him inn the recovery position so that he wouldn't do any more harm like choking and within minutes he stopped

"Mr Fordman?" I question and lower my head then x-rayed him "He's not breathing. Shit." i turned him back over and began CPR. Okay don't break anything to much normal human compressions

"Dad! Dad!" Whitney cried " I gave two breaths and check, still nothing and started again count to thirty and then two breaths

"I got him." I declare hearing a heartbeat. I checked his pulse "Pulse is returning to normal." The ambulance arrive and i helped them out before Mr Fordman was taken away, Whitney and his mom went with him.
