everything was silent as Serena sat on the stairs leading up to the roof sobbing it was going so well she was treating it like any other surgery she had distanced herself from the fact it was the love of her life who was lying on the table everything was going so well. she couldn't get Bernie precious face out of her mind every time she closed her eyes she would see her face
But then the worst happened.
2 hours prior
The surgery had gotten off to a good start when they removed Bernie from the wall it was looking like the metal shard had just been resting near the aorta. So lucky for them no immediate action was required while they transported Bernie from the wall to the operating table.
Everyone seemed to calm down a bit when it looked like this wasn't as bad as the had originally imagined even Serena herself was calming down and wasn't as panicked. The operating had got off to a great start Raf and ric began fixing the exit wound carefully sewing the muscle and other tissues back together. While Hansen and Serena tried to figure out what it was that was going to take priority was it going to be the kidney or would they start by fixing the surrounding tissues.
I guess it's true you should always expect the unexpected never get to optimistic as there is always a bump in the road. Raf and ric had finished their part of the operation and were just closing up where as Serena was only half way through they had decided to go with repairing the surrounding tissues and stitching them up before repairing the kidney.
Hansen was now merely just watching as Serena carried out the operation he was never really needed he just was there in case Serena needed it.
"Dr burrows how about you come and help me while I suture up the kidney" Serena asked feeling confident enough that everything was going so well.
"yeah sure Ms Campbell" she came round and listened to what Serena said jasmine was to apply suction while Serena stitched up the kidney and repaired the tear in the top of it.
Serena had a scalpel in her hand as there was a bit of dead kidney tissues that was useless so it was best that it was just removed she had it all lined up ready to make the incision when.
*cough* *cough*
As she applied pressure to the kidney with the scalpel Bernie coughed meaning her body jolted at the exact time that Serena made the incision. The cut wasn't made in the place it was intended meaning there was blood everywhere with in a matter of seconds Serena did the worst thing possible she looked at Bernie's face meaning she saw that it was her woman her soul mate who was now bleeding a lot from an unknown place she just froze on the spot while blood was pumping out fast no one would get there fast enough the monitor started beeping.
Jasmine quickly stepped in and started to use the suction trying to find the bleed there was a lot of blood before she knew it Raf had joined her and was using his hand to try and find the bleed packs started to be applied to desperately try and stop the bleeding. find where the scalpel had teared into.
"can we have 2 units going in now." Raf shouted they needed to find the bleed but they were running out of blood he could feel the sweat run off his head.
"packs we need more packs to stem the bleeding"
"no we are losing her"
"suction more suction please."
"adrenaline and more blood."
Before long Hansen and ric had stepped in trying there best to find the bleed there was so much blood that it was hard to tell when they had thought it had stopped it started up again.
jasmine was now stood the side as she let the ore experience doctors take charge she did the worst thing she looked at Bernie's face and literally saw the colour drain from her face she could also see the worry run over her face and the look of terror jasmine couldn't just stand there and watch she needed to do something so she got closer to Bernie and grabbed her hand squeezing it reassuringly making sure Bernie knew she wasn't alone.
Everything started to go into slow motion as Serena's whole body just didn't react like it should she could hear someone shouting and people rushing around but they looked like they were going so slow. All's she could do was watch as he lover was dying in front of her the last thing she heard before she ran was the sound of a flat line. at this her legs gave way and she collapsed on a heap at the top of the stairs.
