"I can't do it by myself, just clear of the counter and get the sheet down and lay everything out, and we're gonna need better lighting so get the lamp from over there, but wash your hands first before you lay down the sheet." Marie said, while examining Jamie on the table.

"How does she look?" Connor asked at the sink.

"She's got a collapsed lung besides that just peri orbital edema."

"What?"

" It's swollen around her eye."

"Oh you could have just said that." Connor said laying down the sheet.

"I'm gonna need to hook her up to a ventilator to help her breathe." Marie said grabbing a long tube out of a sterile bag.

"What's that for?"

"It's a chest tube, I need to insert it down her throat to help open her airway. Hold her down for me, will you?"

"Yea, what for?"

"Sometimes the body will reject the tube if their not fully unconscious." Marie said opening Jamie's mouth and sliding the tube down her throat. "I hate to do this when she could wake up at anytime, but I couldn't bring in the anesthesia machine someone was bound to notice that was missing. I need to give her a conscious sedative, so if she wakes up she won't move around." Marie told him while switching on the venerator. "Scissors!" Connor handed her the scissors. Marie cut off Jamie's shirt then laid a sheet over her so she wouldn't be exposed. "Help me roll her over. Will ya." Marie looked up and saw Connors back was to her. "Wow what a gentleman."

"Is she covered up?"

"Yea, I've got a sheet over her. You MacManus brothers always surprise me."

"I just thought I'd give her some privacy, I'm not a doctor and you know."

Marie chuckled, "Just help me roll her over."

Carefully they rolled her over, "We better get to work, We gotta get in there fast before she losses to much blood, wash your hands again, get a surgical gownon, then glove up. I'll do the same."

When they were done 'scrubbing in' Connor asked, "So what do you need me to do?"

"All you have to do is give me the right tools, I'll walk you through it. I've given her one unit of blood and some platelets so she will make it through the surgery."

"How did you know what her blood type is?" Connor asked

"She has a file at the hospital, she's B+. Scalpel!" Connor handed it to her. She cut right over the bullet hole, then put the retractor in to separate the ribs and expose the wound. "Ok I see her lung, yup collapsed, I need to get the bullet out then clean it out then, sew it up. Hand me the pick-ups, they look like tweezers"

Connor handed those to her. Marie put the pick-ups intoJamie's lung and within 10 seconds pulled it out with them closed around a bullet. "Basin!" Connor help it out and she dropped with bullet and tweezers into it. "Suction!" Connor did as he was told. "I've got to get the blood out of her lung, before I close her up and since I'm already in here it will be easier to do it this way." Marie put the suction into the lung and it cleaned up most of the blood in there. "Suture Needle!" Connor handed her the curvy needle. Within a few minutes Marie had Jamie's lung sewed up and then her back sewed up. "Gauze and tape!" Marie put the gauze and taped it to Jamie's back where the cut was. "You're gonna need to change the dressing, that's the gauze, 3 times a day with new gauze and clean up the wound with some ointment for her." Marie said taking off her gloves and surgical gown.

"Yea sure thing." Connor said doing the same.

"We should go and put her on the bed so she will be comfortable while she recovers. Can you carry her over there and I'll push the ventilator over?"

"Sure." Connor said rolling her into his arms. He walked very carefully making she Marie was right behind him with the ventilator. He wouldn't want the tube ripping out. He walked into the bed room and laid her on the bed. He sat down next to her as Marie began to give her more blood and platelets.

"I've only got 2 more units of blood, and she's gonna need one more. I'll have to go back and see if I can take one more."

Connor thought about this for a second then said. "Marie, I'll give her some."

"What?"

"I'm O+, I can give to anyone." He said holding out his arm. "Hook me up!"
