Zoe got up that morning early so she could be earlier for work. Once she was ready she go In her black Audi TT and took the short drive to work, she was 10 minutes earlier. When she arrived she went straight to her office and done the small pile of paper work that was on her desk before going to reception to see what lay ahead of today.
'Zoe, major RTC coming in, 3 vehicles involved, 4 major casualties and 5 minor.' Louise yelled over to Zoe as she seen her come out of her office.
'Ok thank Louise, can everyone gather around please' Zoe shouted out to her staff members. Every one went silent when they heard Zoe talk.
She explained what had happened then started to tell everyone where to go 'right can I have Ash, Tess, Robyn, Fletch, Cal, myself and Rita in resus please and can everyone manage cubicles. Charlie and Connie will be in charge of cubicle so can you make sure that everything is running smoothly please and only come and get me if it's urgent and Max can you transfer other patients to wards please is everybody alright with that?' Zoe informed her staff everyone was nodding even Connie. Everyone thought Connie wanted Zoe's job but they were all wrong, Connie wanted to join the Ed for a numerous of reasons, one being the great team the ED has and two she has always wanted a challenge. Zoe and Connie have a great relationship in and out of the hospital, they have each other's backs.
Zoe and Tess were waiting in reception for the first casualty, Jeff came crashing through the reception doors, 'this is Sarah 28 driver of one of the vehicles, she was koed at the scene, query neck or back fracture, deep laceration to the side of her face and a possible break in her right arm' Jeff told Zoe and Tess while handing over the forms.

'Can we book a CT scan and X-ray please, Tess can you do full bloods, E's, U's, LFT's and can somebody clean and suture the cut on the side of her face please' Zoe told her staff. While everyone was doing as they were asked Zoe listened to her heart and used a torch to look in her eyes, 'her pulse is a bit week but her pupils are responding' Zoe informed her staff. Just then everybody heard what they wanted, 'she coming round' Zoe told them.
'Hello, my names Dr Hanna and I will be treating and looking after you, can you tell me where you are and what happened?' Zoe asked Sarah in a professional tone.
'I was in and accident and am I in...Holby ED?' Sarah asked her. Zoe nods in reply. After all her bloods and X-rays came back clear she was moved to cubicles so Zeo went to her office, which Tess followed.
