"Abby! Where are you?!" I was panicked. 'What if I don't find her?' or 'what if it's too late?' I had so much going through my head. I couldn't concentrate. I dove under the water again, my head darting everywhere. 'Dammit, where is she?' then I saw something; a limp figure at the bottom of the river. I grabbed her and swam as fast as my feet could kick.

I had been giving her mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions for about fifteen minutes when the ambulance finally arrived.
"What've we got?"
"31 year old female, near drowning. She was under about 5 minutes. Hypothermic, cyanotic, and bradycardic. She's not breathing on her own. She needs to be intubated."

"Abby, Abby Lockhart."
"Okay guys! We need some heating blankets and some warm saline! And dammit! Get me a 7.0 e.t. eube! She needs to be intubated now! Let's take her to county. Sir, are you related?"
"No, but -"
"I'm sorry, only family can ride with us."
"I work at county, and for God's sake, she's my girlfriend!"
:You're a doc? On that case, come on, we could use some extra help."
