Chapter 10
..."Jonathon is she ok? Did she lose consciousness? Hows the baby? You know Jac!" Elliot said, sounding concerned for the pregnant consultant,
"She's off to hospital now, I've gotta go, let the other know, we need you now!" Jonny said, before putting the phone down and following the paramedics and his mother out of the door and too the ambulance,
"I'll meet you at the hospital!" Jacky said, kissing Jonny on the cheeks as she went to get her car...
Jonny jumped into the back of the ambulance, just before the paramedic shut the door and took a seat next to Jac, taking hold of her hand tightly and not letting go of it for the whole duration of the trip,
"Jac sweetheart, what happened in there? What did he say to you?"Jonny asked, with worry in his voice as Jac just lay back on the bed,
"He just flipped, he kept screeching in my face, to tell him where Jacky and you were, but I refused to tell him, that's when he got irate and flipped at me! Is it really necessary that I go to hospital? I'll be fine!" Jac said, trying to sit up,
"Woah hold on a minute, you've got a head laceration and have had a blow to your back, we need to get you and the baby checked out before you go anywhere!" The paramedic said, holding Jac down on to the bed.
10 minutes later, the ambulance pulled up into the local hospital, stopping outside the emergency department. As soon as they come to a standstill, the paramedic and Jonny stood up and exited the back of the vehicle, the driver then rushed around, ready to give his colleague a helping hand.
Once in the building Jac found herself being rushed into a cubicle, surrounded by strange people that she didn't understand,
"Right we have Jac Naylor, a 36 year old female who is 7 and a half months pregnant, she has been involved in an attack at the Edinburgh arms pub, where she sustained a blow to the right side of her head and the lower back, she has been complaining of back pain and a headache, but on route has improved significantly, sats are normal and bp is normal" the paramedic announced to the team in the hospital before escaping to the next job.
"Right I want a c spine X ray and Full CT scan ordered! And I want an ultrasound machine down here ASAP" The consultant in charge of her case bellowed across the bed,
"That really isn't necessary, I've had worse blows to the head than this and my back has been hurting for weeks, it's called being pregnant!"Jac said, complaining as she had to stay still and do as she was told,
"I'm sorry Jac but it's procedure and the fact that your heavily pregnant means we have to explore all possibilities! Once we have ruled out the possible injuries we will see about discharging you!" The emergency consultant explained, leaning over Jac as she lay there not on her own accord. Jonny stood next to her, holding on to her hand tightly
"Jac, come on let them do their job!" Jonny said, squeezing Jac's hand as he spoke.
Minutes later, his mother came walking through the door and rushing into the cubicle where Jac and Jonny were,
"How are you Jac? Is everything ok with her and the baby?" Jacky said, panicking about her sons pregnant girlfriend who she had only known for a few hours,
"They are just about to send her for a CT scan and a spinal x ray, she's got to have an ultrasound as well to check the baby" Jonny explained filling his mum in on what happened, before the porters came In and took her to the radiology department.
30 minutes later Jac was about to have her ultrasound, after having the all clear from the CT scan and spinal xray, the consultant was looking through her medical notes looking at her recent scans and appointments,
"It says here you had an appendectomy over a week ago, and also sustained another head injury due to an assault by another member of staff,
"Yes I have the habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Ask Jonny he'll tell you !" Jac said, trying to lighten the mood
"Oh aye, she's terrible, thing is she can give as good as she gets!" Jonny replied laughing, as the consultant let out a small chuckle,
"Would you be able to pull your top up and we shall do the ultrasound! And then we can get your head stitched up again and you can go home!" She said, putting on some gloves and a new plastic apron as she managed to get blood from Jac's head wound on it,
Jac lay there, reluctantly pulling her top up, revealing her large bump. With a neat wound where they took her appendix out last week,
"This is going to be cold at first!" The consultant said, squeezing some gel on to Jac's pale abdomen, before moving the probe around until she found the image of the baby,
Minutes later, after they all silently watched the screen, watching the little girl moved around inside her mothers womb, the silence was broken by the relieved looking doctor,
"Everything seems fine with baby, she's looking on point for the stage of pregnancy, no sign of distress or injury!" She said, printing of the picture and adding it to her notes,
Jonny's mum stood there in amazement as she saw the little life move around on the screen,
"You ok mum, you look spaced out!" Jonny said, looking at his mothers face,
"I'm fine, it's just amazing, I know i had scans with you, James and the girls but, when it's your first grandchild, it feels different!" Jacky said, with a tear in her eye
"Well that's you're granddaughter, Isla" Jonny replied, smiling as he spoke about his daughter
"Right Jac, I'm happy to discharge you, on the grounds you take it easy and don't get stuck in between anymore fights or pub brawls ok!" The consultant said, walking back into the cubicle after she amended the notes and signed discharge papers,
"Thank you, and I will be more vigilant and know when to move next time!" Jac replied, bringing herself to her feet as she grabbed her copy of he discharge papers,
"There won't be a next time! The next time you'll be in hospital is for work!" Jonny replied, wrapping his arm around her shoulders,
"Oh, you work in a hospital? That explains all the agitation and protest about being fine!" The doctor said, suddenly understanding Jac's actions,
"Yes I'm a cardiotherasic consultant surgeon and my partner is a transplant co-ordinator, we both work at Holby city hospital" Jac replied, looking at Jonny as she finished,
"Wow, well relax and take it easy!" The doctor said, allowing the group to leave he hospital...
