Hello, thank you for the reviews! I'm going to try and make this chapter a bit longer and I hope you enjoy :)


"Oh god. It's Cal and Ethan." Dixie Inhaled sharply when she spotted the familiar car on it's side all crumpled and smashed up. She quickly jumped out the ambulance and ran over with Ian just behind.

"Ethan, wake up. Dixie's here to see us." Cal said horsely. Even though he knew he wasn't listening the silence was deafening and so he kept reassuring himself by chatting.

"Alright boys, you've been in the wars haven't you?" Dixie tried to lighten up the mood but it wasn't the right time. "Right, the fire crew are coming to cut you out, they'll be as quick as they can but you know what it's like, I'll take some time."

The fire crew removed what was left of the front window so Cal and Ethan could start to be treated.

"Cal, have you got any pain in your neck or back?" Dixie asked.

"y..yeah." he stuttered, shock beginning to take over his body. His eyes widened with worry as his leg started feeling numb.

"Alright Darling, we'll get you out soon." Dixie reassured Cal. "How's Ethan?"

"He's not looking good Dix." I need to put a line in, he's got a slowing pulse, shallow breathing and potential head injury."

"Right, i'll get the collar and boards and as soon as the door is off we need to get them out." Dixie said.


Charlie picked up the ringing red phone. The red phone was never a good sign.

"Listen up team." Charlie called everyone together. "There's been a RTC involving two of our Doctors, Caleb and Ethan. I'll let you know anything that I hear but all I know right now is that there's three serious casualties. If anyone is struggling, I know it's difficult to treat colleges, then let me know."

Robyn and Lofty followed Charlie towards the entrance.

"Charlie?" Robyn asked anxiously. "How bad it is?"

"All I know is that it's serious. The car was swiped off the road by a truck and both of them are trapped."

Noise began to fill the air as an ambulance arrived outside and a trolly was wheeled in.

"Okay, Cal was trapped for 30 minutes, he wasn't KO'd at the scene. He's got a chest injury and is complaining of loss of sensation in both of his legs. His GCS is 12, pulse is 100, BP is systolic at 130/90, sats are at 98% and he's had 5 of morphine." Dixie quickly recited to robyn and Connie.

"Right, into bay 3 please." Connie said as she held to doors open to resus.


"Ethan, it's Ian. You've been in a car accident mate."

Ethan open his eyes slowly to see a blurry paramedic in front of him. His head ached and everything starting spinning.

"Pain.." he muttered.

"We're just getting you out and then i'll give you some pain relief okay?"

5 minutes later Ethan was in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Zoe stood in the doorway twisting her wedding ring round her finger anxiously. She desperately needed a cigarette but she was waiting for Ethan to arrive. The ambulance pulled up and turned it's sirens off. At the same time Ian jumped out and started giving Zoe the details.

"Ethan has been trapped for 45 minutes and has sustained a head injury and chest injury. He was KO'd at the scene. His GCS is 12, pulse is 120, BP is 120/90, sats are at 98%. He's had 10 of morphine and 1.5 litres of saline."

"Thank you, can you put him in bay 2 please." Zoe said.

"Ethan?" Cal asked horsely across the room.

"He's okay, he's just being assed at the moment." Connie reassured him although she was worrying about him herself. Right, Cal you've got 2 broken ribs and bruising on your chest from being thrown forward and your seatbelt. But, you've damaged your spine.

"I can't feel my legs." he sounded on the verge of tears.

A loud beeping filled the room.

"Ethan's gone into cardiac arrest." Zoe said loudly. She began chest compressions quickly silently preying in her head. Don't die, don't die.

"Ethan!" Cal called again.

"You've injured the five lumbar vertebrae in your lower back Cal. You will have limited movement in your legs and hips and will need a wheel chair." Connie said.

"I don't care." tears fell down Cal's face.

"Cal." Connie said softly.

"I don't care. Help Ethan."

"We are but we need to help you too."

A steady beep filled the room again.

"Listen, he's okay." she held Cal's hand and wiped the tears away.

"His heart beat is slowing." Robyn said whilst watching the monitor.

Connie took the stereoscope from around her neck into her ears and listen to his chest. "Yep, his lungs collapsed." connie confirmed. "We need to put in a chest drain."
