Janet came over the top of the ridge, gasping at the ruins that lay before her. Had she been there for any other reason, she would have stayed and admired the beauty of the alien planet and the view from this hill. As it was, she bolted down, closely following Teal'c, her own team of medics following her.
As the group neared, Janet could see the Colonel and Sam, kneeling near a prone figure she knew to be Daniel. From the distance, Janet could see Sam was giving mouth-to-mouth, but thankfully, she didn't appear to be performing CPR.
Running up, Janet dropped to her knees next to Sam, pulling out a stethoscope.
"What happened?" she questioned, trying to assess the situation.
"I don't know." Colonel O'Neill answered. "I found him like this."
"How long has he been unconscious?" the doctor asked, as she listened to the steady rhythm of Daniel's heartbeat.
"A little under an hour since I found him." O'Neill replied, removing his cap for a brief moment to run a gloved hand roughly through his hair before replacing it.
Janet turned to Sam. "And how long have you been doing mouth-to-mouth?"
"Half an hour, off and on." Sam answered in between breaths.
Janet continued her examination. "He's kept a steady rhythm?"
"Yeah, but he's got a weak carotid." Sam confirmed.
Janet turned to her team, who had been setting equipment in case it was needed. "Get him on the backboard." She instructed.
Setting into action, Matthews and Shesman quickly and carefully moved Daniel's limp body onto the hard plastic.
"I need to intubate!" Janet called out, pulling objects out of her bag.
Moving around Sam, she went to Daniel's head, tipping it back to get a better view of his throat. Sliding the tube past his vocal chords, she pulled away. "Bag him!" she instructed.
Tossing things back into her bag and hanging her stethoscope about her neck, Janet continued calling out orders. "Let's get him back to the gate."
Shesman and Matthews took their places on one side of the archaeologist, Teal'c and O'Neill on the other, Janet in between them to continue monitoring her patient, Sam at his head, squeezing the ambu bag at regular intervals.
"Lift him on my count." Janet ordered. "1...2...3..."
----
The group had moved quickly toward the gate, though not quickly enough for anyone's liking.
"Carter! Dial it up!" O'Neill shouted as they approached the DHD.
Janet took over the ambu bag as Sam ran forward, pushing symbols that would activate the gate for earth. Taking just a moment, Janet listened to Daniel's heartbeat again.
"He's crashing!" she cried out. "Let's move!"
The small group doubled their already fast pace, climbed the short set of stairs and stepped through the event horizon. A gurney was waiting in the embarkation room, with full medical staff and equipment.
"Charge the paddles to twenty joules!" Janet shouted. "And give him a mil of epi!" She paused, grabbing the waiting defibrillator from one of her nurses. "Clear!"
The remaining members of SG1 stood by watching as Janet and her team worked. Jack couldn't keep himself from flinching and Sam turned her head away as Daniel's body jumped with the electricity. Teal'c stood stoically by.
"Still flatline!" One of the nurses called out, redundant with the steady, unwavering pitch of the defibrillator.
"Charge it to thirty and give him another mil of epi." Janet continued. "Clear!"
Daniel's body jerked again, and Janet let out a sigh of relief as the machines began beeping steadily, indicating a heartbeat. "Let's get him to the infirmary."
