"Another Dawn, Another Day"

Chapter 2 – "Trauma room, STAT!"

"Trauma 1 Now!" shouted Benton as they wheeled the gurney down the hall.

As soon as the gurney was pushed into trauma 1 the controlled chaos took station.

Carter, Benton, Haleh, Lydia, and Malik stood around the gurney and through the double doors entered Greene,

"Okay, what have we got?" he asked as he pulled on the latex gloves.

"It's Dr. Kovac" announced Haleh as she held Luka's hand in her own.

"What! What happened!" he asked as he rushed to the side of the gurney and peeled back Luka's eyelids and began to shine his pen light in them. He was not pleased with what he found as Luka's eyes did not react to the light.

"Damm he's in shock"

"Dr. Greene, he seems to be in a lot of pain" said Halah as she said as she stroked his face and hair with her other hand. She couldn't help but feel motherly as Luka lay there looking vulnerable, and fragile, his face pale and mouth open slightly.

"Okay, push 10 mg on an IV drip of morphine, STAT!" said Greene as he, Benton and Carter moved to check the entrance wound.

"Okay, we need to roll him, see if its went right threw" said Benton, but was interrupted when the monitors started bleeping, announcing that there was no pulse.

"He's in V-tach!" called Lydia.

By now a small congregation had gathered outside the doors of trauma 1. Among them was Abby, who was standing at the front with a horrified expression on her face, tears in her eyes and her hand covering her mouth to silence the cries as the monitor started to bleep. Beside her stood some of the other nurses, Chuney and Susan. The sound of a tap, tap, tap could be heard and then between Abby and Susan appeared Dr Kerry Weaver with a determined expression on her face, but also the signs of the tears that she was fighting to hold back. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as Kerry walked through the doors Carter was announcing that he was starting compressions as Greene prepared the paddles.

"1…2…3…4…5" Carter spoke to himself as he was doing compressions, trying in vain to focus on the patient, not to think of him as the man that just saved his life.

"Okay, Clear!" Carter stepped back and watched as Greene placed the paddles to Luka's chest and it lurched upwards and fell back down.

"Normal sinus rhythm" Malik announced with an optimistic tone, with was soon crushed when Luka's eyes started to roll back into his head, his body convulsing violently.

"He's seizing, hold him still!" shouted Kerry as she placed her hands on Luka's torso.
