Janet decided right there right then that she hated snowstorms.
Which when she put it that way, even in her own head it sounded like a ridiculously obvious thing to say.
If only SG-1 had actually managed to stay out of trouble this little 'house call' of hers wouldn't have been necessary but, no Daniel just had to go and fall and land on his back necessitating a med team to come and assess his condition before they could even think about moving him.
She wasn't saying she wasn't worried about Daniel because she was. By all accounts his injury sounded like it could be quite severe, he'd lost feeling below his waist and whether it was temporary or not remained to be seen.
But here she was up to her knees in snow struggling against a snowstorm because she wanted to get to her patient as soon as possible.
She couldn't in all honesty remember ever having been colder.
She paused to shift the strap of her pack and trudged onwards lagging slightly behind her companions. It was at times like this that she actually wished she was taller.
Her companions, Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and a member of the nursing staff Lieutenant Annie Lutz were all tall enough that although the deep snow fall was hindering their efforts it was to no where near the degree it was hers.
According to the colonel they were about half way to the settlement that SG- 1 had found hidden away inside a large cave system in one of the mountains that seemed to dominate the landscape around the gate.
Janet was pulled out of her contemplation when she realised the others had stopped. It was then she heard it a low rumble that sounded way too close.
The snow beneath her gave way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Jack watched in that kind of slow motion detached horror that usually accompanies accidents that you just can't believe are happening in front of you.
A ravine opened up beneath the snow and the doctor was carried away with the snow plunging toward the bottom. Damn. As if the day wasn't bad enough already.
Janet disappeared from sight obscured by the avalanche and the storm still howling around them. All he could realistically do was wait for the avalanche to settle and then try to find a way down so he could find her.
However there was still the issue that had brought the medical personnel off world in the first place. Daniel still needed attention. He turned towards the others and shouted to be heard above the wind, "Teal'c take the lieutenant to Daniel and then take Carter back to the gate and get help. Tell Hammond that Fraiser got caught up in an avalanche and we need another team and mountain rescue equipment."
Teal'c nodded and set off followed by Lieutenant Lutz and Jack turned his attention to the problem at hand. The snow didn't settle until Teal'c and Lutz had disappeared over the brow of the hill.
Jack set to work looking for a way down, spotting a ledge that sloped towards the floor of the ravine he started his slow descent. He hadn't got more than twenty feet down when he lost his footing on a patch of black ice and slipped. He slid straight into a rock protruding from the ravine wall.
Dammit, dammit, dammit. Because of course at this moment in time the thing he needed most was to get himself injured as well as the doc. He winced as he righted himself, definitely gonna be some bruising later.
He caught sight of a movement in the snow below. It looked like a boot. Forgetting his own bruising Jack slid the last 10 feet or so down the rock wall and then carefully crawled across the settled snow towards it.
Upon reaching it he gently brushed away the snow surrounding it trying to ascertain the Doctor's position beneath whilst calling to her to get her attention. "Hey Doc? You in there?"
He heard a muffled moan and breathed a sigh of relief. Moaning was good; moaning meant she was at least partially conscious.
"Janet, I'm gonna try to dig you out so just hold on, okay?" He could feel the change in the air that indicated the storm was worsening and cursed under his breath. Peachy. Looked like they were going to have to hole up somewhere in the ravine until it passed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Janet came round fully just as the Colonel finished digging her out. If she'd thought she'd been cold before it was nothing compared to the bone chilling numbness she was experiencing now. Being buried in snow, even if it had only been for a few minutes, was really not an experience she wanted to repeat any time soon.
She could feel a dull ache somewhere in the region of her left leg. Which probably meant that without the cold induced numbness she'd be in a considerable amount of pain.
She tried to move the leg and yup, there it was, pain and plenty of it. All of a sudden passing out seemed like a very good idea even if intellectually she knew that it wasn't one. She was rudely interrupted as her eyes started to drift shut.
"Uh, Doc I really don't think so." She glared at him or at least tried to. He reached a hand up to the side of her head and pulled it back to show her the blood on his fingertips. "You hit your head on the way down and probably have a matching concussion. It's not too deep a cut but it's still a head injury."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Well he'd tried to keep her awake. She'd given in to the blackness a few minutes ago. Although if he was honest with himself his inane chatter had probably not helped her keep her eyes open.
She'd managed to mutter something about her left leg first though. Upon further inspection it turned out to be broken, so he'd attempted to splint it and thanked whatever deity seemed to be looking out for him that she'd been unconscious at the time.
His own memories of Carter doing the same thing for him were not happy ones.
Now that he had the Doc out of the snow and wrapped up in a blanket from his pack he had the opportunity to take a minute to survey his surroundings.
Mostly the bottom of the ravine was open and covered in the snow that had come down with the avalanche. He could see the top of what looked like an overhang opposite him but it was hazy.
Conditions were definitely getting worse and rapidly. The radios were out thanks to the storm so they were on their own for the time being.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
The next time Janet found herself in the land of the conscious she'd been relocated. The world had definitely gotten somewhat darker and she could feel a few bruises that she could've sworn she hadn't had before.
She lifted her head to get a better look at where she'd been moved to and instantly regretted it. Last time she had this bad a headache it had been the morning following a hazy night, which had included lots of alcohol. Definitely not the case this time.
She let her head drop back down gingerly and settled for examining the ceiling.
"Hey welcome back." She turned her head to the left and the opening into the snug little cave and came face to face with the Colonel. "Head hurts huh?"
She glared at him before muttering, "Stupid question."
He smiled wanly. "Lutz and Teal'c have gone ahead to Daniel, hopefully they made it in enough time so Teal'c and Carter could go back to the gate and get a message back to base. Otherwise the storm's gotten worse and turned into a blizzard so the radios are out. So looks like it's just you and me for the time being."
Jack looked down at Janet and wished he had some better news. They weren't in any grave danger. Teal'c and Lutz knew where they were, they had supplies and they were dressed for the weather.
It was just obvious that Fraiser was not happy about being the patient for once. Probably not helped by the fact that it also meant she wasn't treating Daniel which had after all been the purpose of her trip.
She grabbed hold of his arm and started to pull herself up. "Help me sit."
He looked down at her momentarily startled. "Er Doc is that such a good idea?"
"Yes Colonel because I'm sure you always do the 'right' thing when you're injured." She didn't even bother to try and hide the sarcasm, "and if you even dare to try and tell me that it's somehow different I will personally see to it that enough needles are jammed in your butt that you can't sit down for a month."
Jack opened his mouth to say something than after catching sight of the look on her face decided to keep quiet. "Okay then. I need to clean up that cut anyway."
He slid an arm round her shoulders and pulled her into a sitting position leaning against a rock. Janet apparently didn't miss the brief half smile on Jack's face as he began rummaging in her med kit.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" He looked up at her like a guilty schoolboy caught red-handed.
"Excuse me?" Janet sighed and waved a hand vaguely in the direction of her splinted leg.
"The whole role reversal thing. Me being the patient."
"Maybe." He replied cautiously with a smile. "Certainly makes a change." He pulled some antiseptic wipes out of the kit. Janet frowned.
"We still have my med kit?" Jack smiled.
"Apparently you weren't all that eager to let go of it. You were still holding on when I found you."
"I don't remember but then that's normal for a concussion."
