Chapter 14: Medical Emergency


"He's flat lineing" nurse Hawkins yell over the medical sensors

"I want him on 20 cc of tricarcrean." Abby ordered running over to Wesley. She began running her tricorder over him. "Get the Deliberator over here." Abby ran her fingers over his neck searching for a pulse. "He's got no pulse, charge to a 100." She said as two nurses wheeled the Deliberator. "Ready Clear!" Wesley's body jerked as 100 volts of electricity were sent in to his body.

"No change Doctor" Nurse Hawkins said reading his vital signs.

"Charge to 150, ready clear!" Abby order watching Wesley's vitals, no change still.

"I think he's gone Doctor," Hawkins whispered placing a hand on Abby's shoulder. Abby didn't move, she just closed her eyes trying to get a hold of herself, and after a minute or so she burst out.

"No I will not except that, inject 50 cc of tricartacan" No body moved a muscle; the only sounds were the sensors blaring at them.

"Doctor," Captain Picard said in a calm but commanding voice, "Wesley death is clearly upsetting to you but he is gone."

"Captain!" Abby exploded " I thought that you of all people, would understand that nothing is impossible."

"Death is one of those thing that is out of our control." Picard reasonably.

"This is pointless." Abby thundered, grabbing a hypospray injector that contained tricarcrean. She injected him just as she heard Picard yell, "Restrain her."

Two male nurses grabbed her below the elbow but she did not move, She just watched Wesley's vitals. For a minute time stood still, but just as Picard was about to give another order, he is cut off by the beeping of Wesley's heart monitor.

Abby took this moment to break free of the nurses and rushed over to Wesley, (Because every body is to shocked that it actually worked, to noticed) She ran a tricorder over him scanning every inch of him before announcing, and "he's stabilizing."

She looked up at Picard and saw him give a visible sign of relief, before he straignten up.

"Doctor, after you finish attending Ensign Crusher will you join me on the bridge." He asked.

"Of course Captain" Abby responded, he nodded and left the ward.

Abby watched him leave, then let out a sigh. She didn't even realize he had been holding her breath. She looked down at Wesley and muttered "You owe me big, Wes.


Abby entered the turbo lift and hour later, "Main Bridge" she sighed as she felt the lift begin to move. For a moment she had here first moment of peace since she and Wesley had left the planet. She closed her eyes but no sooner than she did it she felt the lift slowing.

She straightened up as the lift doors opened. She walked calmly on to the bridge (like she was suppose to be there.) she walked down the ramp and stopped in front of Captain Picard, who was reading a data pad.

"Doctor" he greeted "Please sit down" he motioned to the chair to his left. The one that Deanna usually occupied, she sat down.

"How is Ensign Crusher?" he questioned.

Abby sighed then reported "I gave him bacterial and a vireo scan, because I know that his heart shouldn't have stopped from the injuries he had obtained. They both came out negative. So I went back and checked the bio scans from the transporter, and I found what is apparently a type of parasite."

"A parasite" Riker muttered shocked.

"A parasite" Abby confirmed.

"But parasite, forms a symbiotic relationship with the host body it doesn't kill it's host." Picard said curiously.

"True, but mercury kills you." Abby said calmly.

"Mercury?" both men asked.

"Yea, apparently the parasite produces concentrated amounts of mercury, now blood is about 0.4 mercury. Now 0.5 - 0.9 you will become sick but apart from you'll live. But once you 1.0 your vital organs will start to slow down. Wesley's mercury level at the time his heart stopped was 3.0." Abby stopped to let this information sink in.

"But can removed this parasite, right?" Picard asked her worried.

" I've already done it, it was no bigger than my little finger." Abby told him.

"And his mercury level?" Riker asked her.

"I'm ventilating his blood as we speak. He'll make a full recovery but it'll be a while." Abby said.

"Goo….." At that moment the turbo lift doors opened and Deanna Troi burst on to the bridge, interrupting Captain Picard.

"ABBY!" she shouted hurling herself at her younger sister. "Abby, I knew it I knew you were alive." She said hugging her sister. (Tightly)

"Dee, Can't breath." Abby gasped out chocking and Deanna let go of her quickly. "Thanks" Abby said as she backed off.

"Oh Abby I'm sorry I …." But Deanna didn't get a chance to finish before Data cut her off.

"Captain, I picking up Dr. Crusher's and Lt. La Forge's combadges signals." He said

"Can you get a lock on them?" Picard asked him.

"Affirmative" Data replied.

"Transporter room three, lock on to the signals and beam them to sickbay." Picard ordered.

"Aye sir" the transporter chief responded.

"Doctor" Picard started but Abby didn't need telling twice. She taped her Combadge.

"Sickbay, prepare to receive two patients." Abby said as she headed for the turbo lift.

" You have the bridge number one." Picard said as he followed Abby, Deanna behind him.
