The EMT Book 6 [Sample]

Chapter Three: [Edited]

Chapter Three

Jace was at the station in the ambulance checking for expired prescriptions or anything else while he's not on call. Jace has to stay up to date on medical regulations and procedures because he works as an EMT. To improve their knowledge and abilities, this frequently entails going to training sessions, workshops, or courses. In addition, Jace makes sure that all supplies, including bandages, prescription drugs, and medical gadgets, are supplied and in good operating order by routinely inspecting and maintaining the equipment.

    Jace has to fill out thorough notes on the situations, including patient assessments, treatments given, and results, after answering calls. For the purpose of legal documentation and care continuity, this documentation is essential. Jace and the other EMTs may be at the station doing standard duties like organizing and cleaning the ambulance and its equipment, getting ready for the next shift, and doing safety inspections.

    A lot of paramedics and EMTs like Jace himself take part in community outreach initiatives to inform the general population and many other responsibilities. Jace had a flashback of Aleix. He imagined her death. Jace while still sitting in the ambulance, he decided to take out his wallet from his pocket and he took out a photo of this girl who was smiling in the picture.

    That girl is Jace's little sister. Her name is Brianna Parker. Jace took his thumb and gently rubbed the picture and he sighed. Jace was missing his little sister Brianna. Jace puts the picture of Brianna back into his wallet and then puts his wallet back into his pocket. Jace then was on call again to another emergency. He immediately gets out of the ambulance, closes the ambulance doors and he and other EMTs and paramedics immediately rushed into the ambulance and Jace after getting into the passenger side of the ambulance and Alex being the driver, had gotten into the drivers side of the ambulance.

    Jace (after heading home) is asleep in his bedroom on his bed. Jace was sound asleep. Until a noise was being made and it woke Jace up. Jace heard footsteps. It sounded like it was coming from downstairs. Then the footsteps got closer and closer. Jace thought he was in another dream. Maybe he didn't really get out of his first dream.

    Until Jace heard a little girl laugh. Jace frowned and he pulled his blankets and sheets to the side and got out of his bed. After Jace stood out of his bed, he slowly walked up to the door in his bedroom of his apartment and he slowly grabbed the doorknob and he turned the doorknob before opening the door. Jace slowly opened the door. Jace heard another laugh from the little girl.

    Jace said," hello?" before he stood out of his bedroom and he looked both ways as he stood out of his bedroom and for the third time in a row the little girl laughed.

   Jace said, "hello?"

    Nobody said a word.

    It eventually got quiet. Jace sighed. Jace then turned around and went back inside his bedroom. After closing the door, he walked back to his bed. Jace lied back down in his bed. He pulled the sheets and cover back on top of him and he went back to sleep. Jace (while back at the fire and rescue station) wished a good morning to his friends at work as he walked into the gym.

    He wanted to work out and exercise. Alex was doing push ups. Working out was part of their job as EMTs. It's a daily routine for Jace and other workers at the station. Jace decided to do push ups as well. After Jace began to do push ups, he spoke to Alex at the same time he was doing push ups. "How are you feeling from the other day?" wondered Alex. Jace answered and said, "oh, I'm okay. I was just a bit shaken up after experiencing someone die on me for the first time."

    "Yeah. I can understand that," says Alex, continuing to do push ups.

    Jace says, "I heard something weird last night," says Jace. "What do you mean?" wondering Alex. "I might just be dreaming, but I heard this little girl laughing," says Jace. "A little girl?" says Alex, chuckling. "Yeah," answered Jace.

    "Well, I mean, you could have been dreaming. Or, it's just paranoia," says Alex. "I'm not kidding," says Jace. "Okay. I didn't say you were," answered Alex. Jace took a break for a minute after doing twenty push ups. Alex stopped doing push ups as well.

   "What if?" says Jace, looking at Alex.

   "What if what?" says Alex, looking at Jace.

    Jace nods his head no. "Nothing," answered Jace. Jace cleared his throat. Until another emergency was declared at the station. Jace and Alex immediately stood up from the floor and went to the ambulance immediately after leaving the gym.

    After Jace and Alex and other first responders, including law enforcement officials went to a scene of a school shooting as well. Jace noticed a lot of people were severely injured and he went to help this one girl named Jamie Joan who is a victim of the shooting. She was shot! Jamie was lying on the floor injured inside the school and Jace and Alex immediately went up to Jamie.

   "Hi, Jamie. I'm Jace Parker, I'm an EMT, I'm here to help you," says Jace.

    Jace and Alex immediately put Jamie on the stretcher and they immediately ran out of the school. After going into the ambulance, Jace and Alex noticed Jamie was losing a lot of blood. "Alex, she's hemorrhaging!" says Jace.

    "Put pressure on her abdomen," says Jace.

    Jace noticed Jamie was losing consciousness and her lips were turning blue. Jace also noticed Jamie's fingernails were turning blue.

    "She's going into hemorrhagic shock," says Jace.

     Jace immediately had to take out an IV and insert it in Jamie's hand before inserting normal saline in Jenny's IV while the IV bag is connected to the IV. Jace sighed in relief. "She's going to be fine. Let's be sure to keep her warm as much as possible," says Jace.

    Alex nods his head.

     Jace leaned back in his seat. He started to get dizzy. Jace softly moaned and closed his eyes. He heard a little girl laugh. "Hey," says Alex, gently touching Jace's arm. Jace opened his eyes and looked at Alex. "Are you okay?" Alex wondered. Jace nodded his head and said, "yeah, I'm fine. I'd just got a little lightheaded for some reason," says Jace.

    Alex sighed and Jace as he just sat in his seat looked around the ambulance. Jace then noticed a little girl who was covered in blood and had pale skin and evil eyes, was standing in the corner of the ambulance. Jace looked away and then looked back at the corner inside of the ambulance. Jace just sat there staring at the corner inside the ambulance. He swallows nervously before looking back at Alex and softly smiles at Alex.
