Stained Red
Chapter 4
Note- I know I said I would have this chapter ready yesterday but time was not on my side so you get the update today.
Carter lifted his head to see the extent of the damage but was unable to get a view as Mark lowered his head to the ground.
Susan came back following Dr. Benton who had a stern yet worried look on his face. All three doctors rolled Carter onto a backboard and lifted him to the gurney in the center of the room.
Benton came up to Carter's head "Hey Carter stay with us man" he said before returning to asses Carter's injuries. Several nurses gathered to help while others waited outside with other staff members watching and waiting.
Mark looked at the doors and noticed the crowd forming "Hey Carol can we get them out of here and back to work" Carol didn't answer but walked towards the doors and exited the room. Once out there she explained the situation and explained how all of them had to return to working on patients and that standing around wasn't going to help anyone. Carol returned with a sad look on her face as she noticed the crash cart had been brought closer to the bed.
Carol rushed to the head of the bed to find Carter still conscious but his face was pale and scared. "Carter you will be alright she said as she grabbed hold of his hand and squeezed it lightly to let him know that she was there.
Carter laid still confused and scared he could hear the muffled voices as pain shot up through his body with every touch they made. He tried to focus on anything else but the pain so he listened to the beeps from all the machines but their sound seemed to be slipping away.
He felt like he was falling as if he were asleep and would wake up any moment to find this all to be a dream when he felt a gentle touch on his hand and a light squeeze the falling feeling stopped and for a moment the pain was gone.
Carter squeezed lightly back to let whoever was there that he appreciated it. Carol smiled for a split second as she looked down on his sweet angelic face and away from the trauma in front of her.
"We have to get him up to the OR now" Benton yelled as he looked down at the fragile body of his student. Benton looked up at the machines "Is he stable for transfer?" he asked knowing the answer already. "Ok lets go they have and room waiting for him"
They pulled Carter out into the hall up to the elevator and Carol was still holding his hand and comforting him "Ouch!" she yelled as Carter's grip tightened around her hand. She released her hand as Carter began to shake "Oh my god" she said as she watched his body twist and turn and his eyes flutter rapidly.
All the staff surrounding him tried to secure his limbs and stabilize his neck until the episode passed. Carter's body was bruised slightly from his trauma but more blood dripped to the floor.
"Damn it" Benton said as he placed a fresh piece of gauze on the wound "We have to get him upstairs now or he will bleed out" The elevator doors opened only seconds after Benton spoke.
The doors closed and Benton and Carol were left alone for that time to watch over Carter. As they went up everything seemed like a dream but a loud quick beeping pulled Carol and Benton back into action.
Carol checked the monitors "His stats are falling fast" Benton moved around to check Carter's pulse "V-fib" Carol said with tears forming in her eyes.
Note- Ok I will try to get the next chapter tomorrow but I have learned that sometimes you might have to wait a little longer so no promises but maybe if you are nice I will work extra hard to write the next chapter for tomorrow. So have a good day.
