"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!!!! IS SHE DYING??" The man in the Michigan sweatshirt screamed. The man leaned back and started breathing hard. The woman, who had now turned into Bella's patient, started going into seizure again. Bella looked sharply toward the man, "Now you look! I need your help so calm down and hold her down! You too!" Bella yelled toward another man. The two men took their places near the woman's head holding down her shoulders and her arms. "We need to flip her over so that she is laying on her back," Bella directed. The two men paused trying to figure out how to do it. "Now! She doesn't have much time!" The men flipped the woman over and Bella extended the woman's neck.
The train stopped just as Bella was placing her fingers on the Carotid Sinus on the neck. Bella began massaging it on the right side of the woman's neck with her fore and middle fingers. The woman's seizure slowly began to subside and she felt the woman's body go limp under her fingers. Bella took her other fingers and felt for a pulse, she counted off as the beats became more regular.
The doors on the train slide open as Bella turned the woman's neck and started the same process on the left side of her neck. "Hey, we got a call to meet this train here. We were told there would be a doctor on board, I guess that would be you," the ambulance worker looked at Bella. "Yeah that would be me, I think she's past the worst but we still need to get her to the Emergency Room at County General." The man rolled in the gurney and kneeled down to help the other workers pick the woman up and put her on the gurney. "I want to go with you," Bella announced as the ambulance worker started out of the train, "I work at County." At least she hoped she still did.

Bella emerged from the chilling air into the ER to find John standing at the front door, "How is the patient?" "She's doing better. Her heart rate has slowed and her seizures have stopped. I think she needs to be checked out though, she hasn't regained consciousness yet and I'm kind of worried about her." Bella and John started to walk toward the trauma room together, "Excuse me, excuse me! Would you be Bella Fairfax?" Bella turned around to see a short man who was half bald and had a scruffy beard. Carter gave her a there's-gonna-be-trouble look and said, "I'll make sure the patient gets what she needs," as Carter walked off he gave her one last look over his shoulder before he pushed through the trauma room doors.
"Umm, yes I am," Bella replied. "Do you know that you should have been here 5 hours ago?" "Yes sir, but I." "You know what? You know what? I don't even really care, because you weren't here on time you are going to take on two extra shifts." "Two?" Bella asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice. "Hell yeah, Dr. Lewis is sick and Dr. Kovac is going to be late." "Alright." "By the way, if you're late again your going' to get your ass fired!" Bella turned toward the trauma room and rolled her eyes, it was going to be a fucking long day!
