Dr. Brackett checks on me a little while later on to see how I am doing,and I am not doing to good. I am barely even breathing,and I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain. Dr. Brackett puts me back on the oxygen,and he starts it at 20 liters per minute. He then puts me back onto the respirator, and ventilator to help control my breathing. He monitors my condition for a few hours to see if anything improves. He talks to Johnny,and Roy for a few minutes.
Dr. Brackett exclaims to Johnny,and Roy,"I need you two to help me out for a few minutes Gabriela is in trouble."
Johnny,and Roy respond back to Dr. Brackett,"What do you need our help with Doc,and what kind of trouble is she in Doc?"
"I just went to go check on her,and she was barely even breathing,and she wasn't getting enough oxygen to her brain. I had to put her back on the oxygen at twenty liters per minute,and she's back on the respirator,and ventilator to help support her breathing."
"What's going on with her Doc?"
"I don't know and I need someone to monitor her vital signs for a few minutes I need to examine her for a few minutes."
"Ok,doc we can help you out Doc Roy,and I will monitor her vital signs."
"Ok,thank you."
"You're welcome Doc."
Dr. Brackett,Johnny,and Roy all three come back into my I.C.U room. Johnny,and Roy start monitoring my vital signs while Dr. Brackett starts to examine me.
Dr. Brackett exclaims to Johnny,and Roy,"what are her vital signs?"
Johnny,and Roy respond back to Dr. Brackett,"her vital signs are 85/40,pulse rate is 45,respirations are slow,and shallow at 10."
"Her vitals have dropped when I was in here a few minutes ago her blood pressure was 95/50,her pulse rate was 50,and her respirations were at 15."
"This is not good Doc,this is not good at all."
"No its not if we can't get her condition stabilized Gabriela could die."
"What would you like for us to do Doc?"
"Keep monitoring her vital signs I need to get X-ray down here stat."
"Ok,doc we will continue to monitor Gabriela's vital signs."
"Ok,I'll call for a portable X-ray."
"Ok,doc."
Dr. Brackett gets on the phone,and he calls in for a portable X-ray to be sent down to I.C.U room #2. The portable X-ray machine shows up at I.C.U room #2. Dr. Brackett has X-rays taken of my chest,and he returns the portable X-ray machine back to where it came from.
Dr. Brackett comes back into my I C.U room,and he wants to know how I am doing. He talks to Johnny,and Roy for a few minutes.
Dr. Brackett exclaims to Johnny,and Roy,"How is Gabriela doing,and what are her current vital signs?"
Johnny,and Roy respond back to Dr. Brackett,"she isn't doing to good her blood pressure has dropped down to 80/35,her pulse rate has dropped down to 40,and her respirations are slow and shallow at 9."
"Put her on the cardiac monitor,we can monitor her better that way."
"Ok,doc we will put her on the cardiac monitor."
"Ok."
Johnny,Roy,and Dr. Brackett get me hooked up to the cardiac monitor. My bp,pulse,and respirations show up on the cardiac monitor. Dr. Brackett watches over my condition very closely for the next several minutes.
A few minutes later Dr. Brackett receives the results of my x-rays back,and he looks my x-rays over very carefully. He sees that I've got a blood clot on each lung. He has to prep me for emergency surgery. Dr. Brackett scrubs up for emergency surgery. He puts his scrubs on. Johnny,and Roy put scrubs on to,and they scrub up for surgery. They help Dr. Brackett to monitor my vital signs while he does the surgery.
Dr. Brackett intubates me to keep me breathing during the surgery. He opens up my chest,and he sees what the problem is. He removes one blood clot from one lung,and he removes the second blood clot from the other lung. He sews up the holes on both sides of the lungs.
He sews up my chest,and he takes me back into the I.C.U room,so I can recover from my surgery. Dr. Brackett has me back on the oxygen,and he has me back on the respirator,and ventilator to help support my breathing. He has Jonny,and Roy monitor my vital signs for a while because he has to go do his rounds on the other floors of the hospital.
