"A New Jade"
CHAPTER 1
Dr. John Carter noted the scene of tranquility upon while walking toward the ER
entrance. "All most makes you forget how this place can get." He sipped his
coffee and walked through the doors to see the backing up number of patients
backing up in the waiting area. Walking behind the desk he noticed that the set
of charts was not many. "Kerry whats with the massive amount of patients I
thought we were supposed to get that new ER attending."
"He's coming in today.." she said moving briskly past him to work on another
case. Carter began flipping though the charts picking a patient. Carter grabbed
a chart for a mild head laceration and went off to the exam room to conduct
business."Good thing these aren't serious or we would be screwed..."
As far as timing was concerned Carter had left just at the wrong time. The doors
to the ER slid open to reveal a man in his upper thirties who was reasonably
tall, a little under six feet, but muscular. His hazel eyes scanned the room, he
walked toward the desk. The nurses began commenting on his looks, his gruff look
with dark brown hair gave off a feeling of excitement. Jerry, the only one was
focused on what the man may want asked "Can I help you?"
"I'm uh Dr. Gordon Jade, your new ER attending." The man rasped out.
"Ah yeah Kerry..er..Dr. Weaver said something about a new attending, Lemme go
grab her." Jerry walked off toward the exam room looking for Dr. Weaver. Gordo
scanned the room again, smiling at the nurses who were still present. He spotted
the red hair of Kerry Weaver.
"Hello Dr. Gordon pleasure to meet you." they shook hands.
"Hi, call me Gordo, I'm not used to being called 'Dr. Jade'"
"Gordo? Ok. I'll just show-" Carter brushed by,"Carter! Meet the new attending,
Gordo Jade."
"Hey Gordo hows-" The slam of the ER doors opened to reveal the paramedics bring
in a victim. Both Carter and Gordo sprinted to the stretcher.
"Name is Matt Halish, gunshot victim, shot in the shoulder and in the chest, BP
is 110 over 60." They went into trauma one.
"Ok, gently, 1,2,3 lift." Carter and Gordo quickly gowned and gloved began their
work. "Gordo you up this?"
"Oh yeah, I can take this, but I will need your help. Let's get him out and
intubated, whats his blood type?"
"A neg."
"One unit whole blood and move it!"
"Got him tubed."
"Scalpel." The instrument was placed in his hand. He made his incision at the
bullet entry point."Rib-spreader" He cranked open the ribs.
"So where was you last position?" Carter said, trying to break the ice.
"Korea, I was Medic in the Army, got to the rank of Major."
"Why did you leave?"
"Gauze." He placed the pad inside of the patient, attempting to soak up the
blood. We got a bullet in the coronary artery. Well on my last physical they
found out I had diabetes, took me straight out of combat. Combat surgery and
medic is a real interesting experience." He looked at the wound blood was
pouring out around the bullet. Pulling up next to Dr. Carter was a very
attractive young lady.
"Mind if I watch?"
"Sure, Gordo this is Jessica Tovera, Medical Student, Jess this is Dr. Gordo
Jade, our new ER attending." She leaned in to grab a good look at the wound."
"Hi. I wouldn't suggest you get that close to the wound-Forceps"
"Why not?" Gordo Pulled out the bullet to release a stream of blood that went
over the med student.
"That's why-Clamp!" He clamped the wound. "Gauze and lots of it!" Carter and
Gordo quickly placed the gauze in to soak up the blood. "Gimme suction! Ok,
Sutures." The man quickly stitched up the wound. The doors of the trauma room
opened up.
"How's it going in here?" Kerry Weaver asked.
"Just dandy." Gordo said.
"What happened to her?" Referring to the blood soaked student.
"Decided to get too close to a wound as Gordo was pulling it out" Carter
responded.
"Why don't you go change your clothes? You don't have any extra with you do you?
" She nodded "no". "I'm sure you can throw on some scrubs for today. Ok let's
close this out. Carter start removing the other bullet and save the time." Gordo
finished off his work and sewed up his work as Carter finished off sewing up the
bullet. The student walked off to change clothes as Carter and Gordo walked out
of the ER leaving their blood soaked surgical gowns in the ER.
"That was some work there Gordo."
"It comes from being in the service, I've seen worse, but an interesting first
for my civilian work."
