Ok, read my first one to understand this one.
"Is There an End to this Abuse?"
I couldn't believe it. It was unthinkable. How? Why?
" Dr. Carter, you want this one?"
" Yea I got it Gallant. Get Susan and Luka."
" Sure."
( now in trauma room)
" Gave him 10 of morphine, 1 of ancef, and six of unison," Doris hollered as she left the room.
" Ok, got it," I replied.
" CBC, Chem 7, Head and Neck Ct first so we can make sure we can intubate."
" Bp is 50 palp, pulse is 89 on 100% air," Lily declared.
( Enter Luka and Susan)
" Carter, what you have?'' asked the tired looking Kovac.
" My cousin,Chase, 30, hit by an SUV. Ordered trauma panel, and head and neck ct's."
" Carter, maybe you should let us take this," Susan said.
" I've got it. Ok, lets get a cut down tray. Luka throw in a central line."
" Carter, we got it. Go call his parents," said Luka.
" Fine, but the minute his status changes, come get me,'' I said as I left the room heading for the lounge and looking for Abby as well. As I busted through the doors to the lounge, I found Abby rummaging through her locker. She turned and greeted me.
" Hey, John, have you seen the Advil I had in here?"
" No. Abby, do you remember me telling you about my cousin Chase?"
" Of course, I even met him."
" Well, he was just in an accident and they brought him in."
" Oh, god Carter, is he ok? Are you ok?"
" I'm fine, but I need to make some phone calls."
" Ok, well I'll go check on him."
" Thanks."
As Abby leaves, I think about who I should call.
15 minutes later
" Jerry, I'm expecting a very important phone call anytime so come get me when as soon as she calls."
" Sure thing Dr. C."
I enter the trauma room and realize Chase has been intubated.
" Did you check the c-spine?"
" Carter, we don't not check the c-spine in an auto accident before we intubate," Dr. Lewis remarked.
" What about an abdominal ct?"
" DPL was negative, but we're ordering an ultra sound also cause the DPL was 5 minutes ago and he has dropped some stats."
Now what is going to happen I though? Abby enters the room.
" John, Jerry says you have a phone call at the desk from a Doctor Del Amico."
" Thanks, I'll take it in her," I said as I stepped into the next room. Did I do the right thing? Did I call the right person? I pick up the receiver. " Anna?"
