Chapter Three

The gurney raced through the hall as they brought the young woman to a room. She was still conscious but needing medical attention. The crash had bruised her face from hitting the wheel and the impact also caused her to get pinned in the car. After the officers were finally able to pry her out, they quickly got her inside.

"Female…Age 26. BP is 156/102 and pulse is weak," the medical student presented. Cuddy ran with the girl along with the medical student and Dr. Chase.

"Her BP is high. Her fever is 102.6. Do we have a previous chart on her medical history?" asked Dr. Chase. "We need to find out if hypertension is a prior condition or if it was brought on by the accident. Check her purse for any medications and if you can't find a chart, check for any phone numbers she might have on her." Dr. Chase was concerned about her age and blood pressure. The nurse went from the room and followed his instructions. Just then, the girl sat her head up slightly and placed her head into her hands.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Chase. Do you know where you are at?" Chase asked.

He waited a moment for an answer but she just held her head. "You hit your head pretty hard. We are going to take you for a CAT scan to make sure everything is ok. Do you remember what happened?" Chase asked.

"No….I don't remember. Where is my purse?" she asked.

Chase looked up from the chart that he was writing on and looked over to the table where her purse sat at the nurses' station. "The nurse has it right now," he replied. "Can you tell me if you can feel this?" Chase proceeded to touch the tops of her toes.

"Yes….I can," she replied softly. "Can I have something for my head?" she asked. Right after she asked Dr. Chase she started to tip her head back towards the pillow. "My headache is getting worse," She replied.

"Are you feeling any other pain?" Chase asked in concern. The monitor showed her pulse rate quickening.

"Yes…my stomach. It hurts," she replied.

After the nurse finished hooking up the IV she told Dr. Chase that Dr. Wilson had wanted to speak with him. Dr. Chase told her to let Dr. Wilson know he'd be a few minutes and that he would page him when he was finished. "Where is the pain in your stomach," Dr. Chase asked. He placed his hands where she showed him and as soon as he touched her she flinched her body.

"Are you okay?" Chase asked concernedly as he held her arm. Dr. Chase was very compassionate to his patients, especially when seeing them in pain. Just then, the girl's nose began bleeding rapidly. Dr. Chase grabbed gauze to help stop the bleeding. She began panicking and Dr. Chase was trying to calm her down.

"It's okay….I'm here to help you," he stated. But he was having trouble getting it to stop. He gently placed his hand on her back and raised her slightly with her head back. After a few minutes she started coughing. She grabbed the side of the bed and fell backwards. She then lost consciousness and slipped into a coma.
