Snippet #1486007

Despite having been open less than two hours, Wing City General was not only prepared but functioning, even if that involved a small number of devoted staff going over and above their typical jurisdiction for the duration of the Hospital’s first few days. The ambulance service, when summoned, arrived as promptly as they were able under the circumstances, and worked well with the Wing City Police Department in the resulting crisis.

Two Paramedics were present in the back of the ambulance with their patient, a third driving at speed with the lights and sirens blaring as the emergency vehicle pulled up outside Majors, the group racing out at speed to greet the waiting staff at the door; the hospital was devoid of patients save for this, the first, so there were plenty of staff on hand.

Already rushing the young woman towards the department proper, handover was a rapid recitation by Mecca, filling in the trauma staff on their patient and her current condition. The team split, one group heading towards surgery to make preparations for the work the young woman would surely need, the other ready to focus on getting her stable enough to operate on the damage.

Both IRA and RAHAL were paged at once, given the severity of the patient’s condition, the nurse in charge giving swift, concise orders as to how things would be managed. The patient was transferred into a bay in Majors, Gelofusine running in an attempt to combat hemorrhagic shock and a massive decrease in blood volume, and the team set to work at once. Primarily, the patient was intubated as monitoring from the ambulance was transferred onto the equipment in the A&E department, oxygen administered and blood taken from an already placed line then rushed through to pathology.

There was no halt in proceedings, even as the team were waiting for the paged doctors to arrive. A nurse was sent back in search of relatives or friends who may have followed their grievously injured friend.
