Chapter 4: In the hospital

Inside the hospital, an air of anticipation hangs heavy as medical staff go about their duties. The emergency department buzzes with activity as nurses attend to patients, doctors confer in hushed tones, and support staff ensure everything is in order.

Amidst the controlled chaos, the head nurse at the emergency reception desk checks her watch anxiously, her eyes flicking towards the entrance with each passing moment. She knows that any minute now, the doors will burst open, and a team of paramedics will rush in with a patient in critical condition.

The trauma team, stationed nearby, stands poised for action, their faces a mask of determination as they await the impending arrival. They've been trained for moments like these, and they're ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

In the trauma bay, the sound of medical equipment being prepared fills the air as nurses meticulously arrange supplies and doctors review patient charts. Each member of the team knows their role and is prepared to execute it with precision and efficiency.

As the tension mounts, a sense of camaraderie pervades the room, uniting the staff in their shared mission to save lives. They may come from different departments and backgrounds, but in times of crisis, they are a unified force, working together seamlessly to provide the best possible care for those in need.

With every passing second, the anticipation grows, the hospital poised on the brink of action, ready to spring into motion at a moment's notice. All eyes are trained on the entrance, waiting for the arrival of the ambulance that will herald the beginning of another critical chapter in the fight for life.

The ambulance screeches to a stop in front of the hospital's emergency entrance. The paramedics swiftly unload the stretcher, carefully wheeling it towards the hospital doors.

The sound of approaching sirens pierced the air, signaling the gravity of the situation to the hospital staff awaiting his arrival.

As the ambulance pulled up to the emergency entrance, the medical team sprang into action, anticipating the arrival of Taeyang, a critically injured patient in need of urgent care.

As the doors of the ambulance swung open, the trauma team sprang into action, their training and expertise guiding their every move.

With practiced efficiency, they carefully transferred Taeyang's stretcher onto the hospital gurney, ensuring a smooth transition as they rushed him into the trauma bay.

The paramedics swiftly but gently unload the stretcher from the ambulance, their movements precise and controlled despite the urgency of the situation. With practiced efficiency, they maneuver Taeyang's stretcher towards the hospital doors, navigating through the flurry of activity in the emergency entrance.

As they approach the hospital doors, the paramedics exchange a brief glance, a silent acknowledgment of the critical task at hand. With a final push, they guide the stretcher through the doors, ushering Taeyang into the care of the waiting medical team.
