My Soldier Doctor

Chapter 4 - Who Are You?

"Why the hell is your hand inside my patients chest?"

Looking up, I see a man walking in wearing his army uniform as I continued to pump Valencio's chest. When I walked into the room I didn't know what exactly was wrong with him only that his blood pressure had dropped a lot. Looking through his chart, I noticed his name was Valencio and that he had recently undergone heart surgery. I tried yelling for help, but no one heard me. Looking around the room I found a cart filled with medications. I went through each drawer on the cart until I found a syringe and dopamine. I injected the man with the dopamine and continued to do so, until he maxed out and it still made no difference. Using an ultra sound, I placed the wand over his chest, to realize he had a blood clot. Soon the patient had cardiac tamponade and I had no other option but to crack his chest.

"I asked you, what is your hand doing inside my patients chest?"he said with anger.

Continuing to massage Valencio's heart I looked up at the army guy. "His pressure dropped to 68 over 24. I gave him dopamine, but he maxed out." Nodding my head towards the ultrasound I said "I used that ultrasound to find a blood clot and Valencio ended up having cardiac tamponade."

Looking over at the heart rate monitor I saw no change.

"I had no choice but to open him up and get most of the blood clot out. But his heart stopped beating." I breathed rapidly.

My arm was beginning to become sore from massaging Valencio's heart for the past 10 minutes. I looked up at the army man hoping he could take over for me, but he looked like he was in shock. A few people in their army uniforms came running in, mere seconds later.

"What the hell?" said the redhead.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Valencio's heart started to beat on its own. Taking my hand out of his chest I leaned forward on the bed, gasping for air.

"We have to take him to an OR. I tried getting out as much of the blood clot as I could have but there is still some more."

The redhead quickly stepped forward, and began to unlatch the bed from the floor. A few of the other people gathered around and they all began to wheel the bed out of the room.

As I was about to walk behind them, the man who first walked into the room, stuck his arm out blocking my path.

"Who are you?" he asked with his brows bunched up.

"I'll tell you who I am later. Right now I need to go with them to the OR and save that man's life." I tried stepping aside from him, but that only caused him to shift his whole body towards my way, completing blocking me from my path.

"You're hurt. You need to rest."

"I will rest once I know that man is stable." I urged.

Looking absolutely furious, "you don't get this. I'm telling you, that you are hurt and that you need to rest, but your are adamant on saving that man's life. There are a dozen of other doctors here who can help him. I'm going to take you back into your room where you are going to rest, and you will not argue with me about this."

The room suddenly started to look hazy.

"But-,"

"No but's. We are going to your room. Now let's go." Grabbing the wheelchair that was placed near the bathroom door, he brought it up to my feet. He unfolded it, and gestured with his head for me to sit down.

I tried to grab one of the handles on the wheel chair for balance, but to my luck I missed and almost face planted to the floor. The man in his army uniform quickly grabbed me, preventing me from falling, and the last thing I remember is being carried out of the room bridal style.
