Juniper Darlington
The man lying on the surgical table is pale. I look at the CT, Zachariah was right. He has a damn bullet piercing his diaphragm. It's a medical miracle how he is even alive. The electrocardiograph starts showing uncanny elevations and depressions. The man is in vfib.
"Help, I need help. Code blue. Right this isn't a real hospital, someone charge the paddles to three hundred."
A woman in scrubs runs in, and charges the paddle to three hundred.
"Are you even educated enough to know what paddles are?"
"Top of my class Stanford ma'am. Rosalie Washington."
"Good, that is excellent."
I rub the paddles and scream clear, and electrically try to resuscitate his heart.
"Charge to three sixty. Clear."
I repeat the same again, and the second time his heart beats normally again. Feebly But normally. This man does need surgery as soon as possible.
"I need sterile scrubs, a surgical caps, gloves, 4-0 vicryl, 2-0 vicryl, scalpels, pallets, suction pumps, and forceps, ten-blade. I need you to prepare this man for surgery. I will scrub myself in at the same time. Is there another sterile OR?"
"Yes, ma'am three blocks, from this one."
I nod, and go to scrub myself, the only place I know without asking someone, as it is just to the opposite where this man is laying.
Damn it, I haven't checked his charts. He did not have any. I have to know what medicines he is allergic to, before the surgery.
"Dr.Washington, hold it. Do you know his medical charts. His anaesthesia allergies and all?"
"No. Dr. Darlington. It had totally slipped my mind."
"Yes, mine too. Get his blood tested. I will talk to your boss in the mean time. Where can I find him?"
"In the lobby, where Sara was y-you know."
I nod and walk out. She does not get to feel bad about this, she is the one who works here and extends the helping arm of medicine to these monsters.
"Dr. Darlington, I may have negligible knowledge in the area of medicine, but not even God can heal a man so fast." He pauses for a moment talking me in, "or wait, have you changed your mind? Cause now I do have it in me for round two with Sarabeth.
"Stop. Just stop. I am not here to run away, I am not a coward. I just wanted to know if your brother has some allergies. To the meds we are giving him, to the anaesthesia?"
"I don't know."
I laugh hysterically. He doesn't know, dude.
