Kaitlyn Jones and The Land of The Beasts

⟪Lily⟫

Car accidents happen every day. It's a common way to get hurt. Especially in this day and age.

I looked over the girl's file.

Kaitlyn L. Jones.... born 2008 February 17.... So, she's 14. She has ADHD....

Nothing useful. A witness had said that a car was speeding at her, and she didn't move. Was it on purpose?

I looked at Kaitlyn. She had an oxygen mask over her face, tube attached, one giving her blood, and several wraps on her. She had broken one rib, and her right leg. Her wrist was fractured. She was one of the lucky ones. To not die immediately, and to have someone call 911 in time.

I started to walk out of the room that separated me and Kaitlyn. I went into the hall, where three people were sitting.

Two adults, both brown haired and green eyed, I'm guessing her parents. The woman had been sobbing until we told her she would make it. Now she just sniffled.

There was a girl, probably Kaitlyn's friend. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. She had been crying too, but she still had tears running down her face every now and then.

"You can come in now." I say to them. They all hurry into the room.

The mom gasped lightly when she saw her condition, the father hugged the mother, and the girl cried silently.

"Her vitals are fine. She should gain her consciousness soon. We'll have to keep her in a little longer to make sure she's okay and will make a full recovery. She broke her right leg, one rib, and fractured her wrist. She has several cuts, mainly from the fall that followed."

The parents listened to me as the girl held Kaitlyn's unharmed hand. I saw that her heart rate picked up at the sudden touch.

"A friend of hers?" I asked the girl. She didn't respond. She stayed looking at her and watching her heart rate go back to normal.

"Thank you for all your help, Dr. Lily." The father said. I nodded and let them be with her.

I was in the glass room, about to leave, when I saw her eyes open the slightest bit, and rapidly close. Her heart rate picked up once again.

She was awake.

I told a nearby nurse to get some water for her as I walked back in.

"Hello, can you tell me what your name is?" I asked as I shined a light in her eyes, and she squinted. "K-Kaitlyn?"

So far, she's good.

"Do you remember what happened?" I asked as I wrote on my clipboard.

"I was...riding my bike... and a car hit me...." She seemed to wince at the memory.

"A-am I in the hospital?" Her mother nodded as I finished writing.

"No signs of amnesia." I checked her blood and then unclipped the blood tube. "Blood is good." I took her temperature. "Normal temperature." I looked to her, "You seem fine. I'll get someone to get a cast on your leg and a wrap for your wrist."

I walked out as she processed it. I told a nurse to get a cast and a wrap. I dodged a medical bed as people pushed it to an emergency room.

I remembered I was the one who did that with Kaitlyn. I'm glad she's okay, or at least will be. As I do with all car accident patients, I wonder who hit her. No one came forward. The witness said it was a black car, but he couldn't tell what type it was because it was going too fast.

I sighed. There are some horrible people in this world.
