Chapter 3- "Oh my gosh!"

The ambulance stopped at the Rittenhouse Hospital emergency bay. The paramedics came into the ER.

"30 year old female, shot in the abdomen, losing consciousness by the minute, trouble breathing, possible internal bleeding. Started an IV of normal saline!"

In the corner of the ER was Dr. Nick Biancavilla who was talking to a nurse about another patient. Suddenly another nurse ran up to him and said you have to come now! It sounded really important so he ran behind her. Slowly as he ran up to the patient and he looked down and...

"Oh my gosh...Lu. Page Dr. Campbell STAT, say it is an EMERGENCY!!!" Nick yelled

Dr. Campbell ran to the emergency room sensing something was not normal.

She ran over and yelled, "Biancavilla, what do we have?!"

Nick moved over very slowly to show her what happened and was about to explain.

"Lu, what...happened? Lu," Andy questioned shocked by what she saw.

Nick pulled her away and told her, "Lu was shot in the abdomen by one of her mentally unstable patients Aniesha."

"Huh, Aniesha. She mentioned her to me but I didn't think anything of it." Andy replied still stunned.

"We need a doctor over her, we are losing her!" a nurse yelled from behind.

Andy and Nick ran over to assist. Andy grabbed Lu's right wrist to check her pulse and it was really shallow.

"She can hardly breathe. We need a breathing tube STAT!"

All of a sudden Andy felt a tight squeeze in her hand.

She looked at Lu's face. Lu slowed opened her eyes and whispered, "I'm ...sc...ared."

Andy looked down at her new partner and into her eyes and saw that she was very frightened and she new what could happen because she was a doctor herself.

Andy replied with reassurance, "You will be fine," and squeezed Lu's hand very gently.

"Put the breathing tube in now, and get her up to the OR!" Nick ordered realizing that Andy was as much worried as Lu was.

As the nurses wheeled Lu to the OR Andy and Nick looked at each other in silence.

Then Nick said very slowly, "I guess we should notify Lana and have her call Mark and Mickey."

"You do know they aren't going to take it well right?"

"Yeh, I know. Who would?"
