Scalpel In One, Scissors In Another
"Scalpel."
"Make sure the incision doesn't strike against her heart or her lungs, Dr. Weasley," interrupted his residing doctor, R.J. Lupin.
"How can I be sure of that?" His hands shook.
"You have to be sure."
Ron stared straight at her bared chest before licking his lips and reaching forward. He made a deep cut down the skin covering the patient's sternum.
"What do I do next, Dr. Lupin?"
"Next, you reach inside with both hands, and press a finger against the hole in her aorta."
"Scissors."
His hands trembled as he reached inside, fumbling around for the thick blood vessel.
"Suction."
"Have you found it, Weasley?"
"Ye- yes, sir. I think I have."
"What is your deduction?"
"I - I can feel her heart beating stronger, sir. It's pumping out more blood."
"Good."
"What next?"
"Next, you wait for your attending doctor to arrive."
He looked up at the kind-faced man, a stunned expression on his sweaty face.
"That's - that's it? I'm done?"
Lupin smiled at him. He really was proud of his intern.
"Yes. That's it, Dr. Weasley. But we are nowhere near done. Congratulations. You just flew solo."
