Chapter 6 – "Hit & Run, ETA 2min"
"Shit...he's in shock!" he announced to no one as the street was deserted at this hour at night. He took off his jacket off and placed it over Luka while he waited for the ambulance.
"Come on, hurry up!"
Benton was getting frustrated, he was going to go and have a drink before going home but then Kovac was drunk and now here he is lying in the middle of the street because he pushed him out of the way of a car.
Benton's thoughts were interrupted by the moaning of Luka.
"Hey man you doing okay?" Benton asked but Luka didn't answer him just tried to get up of the ground, "hey you can't get up an ambulance is on its way" Benton said but was once again ignored.
"No…I…they'll want to know why…" Luka got as far as that before he passed out.
"Shit..." Benton took his pen light out of his pocket and shined it into Luka's eyes, they didn't react with the light, "Damn, probably a concussion" he put his head close to Luka's chest and noticed that his breathing seemed to be strained, he was about to phone 991 again when he saw and heard the flashing lights come around the corner.
Kerry Weaver stood at admit desk when the radio told them that they had a hit and run ETA 2 minutes.
"Okay, Malik, Halah, come outside with me to wait for this hit & run"
Once outside they saw the ambulance pulling into the ambulance bay and could not have been more surprised by who jumped out of the back of the ambulance.
"Peter, what happened? Were you there at the scene when it happened?"
"You could say that" Peter said as they pulled out the gurney, and Kerry was even more surprised to see fellow Dr Kovac lying on the gurney.
"What happened?" she asked as they pulled the gurney in through the ambulance bay doors.
"I was walking backwards out onto the road; he pushed me out of the way, got hit left side on"
"Okay, trauma 1"
"Okay, on my count, 1…2…3" they transferred Luka onto the gurney.
"Okay, I want a chest x-ray, CAT-Scan, and abdominal panel…" Kerry instructed while putting on her latex gloves.
"Tube's in"
"Add a tox-screen" Peter said while looking at Kerry, "He was drunk when I met him, I don't know if he was taking anything else" Lydia waited for the nod of approval from Weaver before writing it down onto the chart.
"Pupils are un-responsive to light, probably a concussion" Peter said.
"Okay, start an IV, and…" Lydia handed Kerry the tox-screen results, "a banana bag"
She handed Benton the slip and Peter looked at Luka,
"Why would you take narcotic's?" Benton shouted at the unresponsive form of Luka.
"Peter calm down, when he's out of surgery we can ask civilly then" Kerry warned
"What does he need surgery for?" Peter asked already knowing that he probably punctured a lung but just wanted to be sure.
"One of his ribs broke and punctured his left lung" Kerry said, "I would like either me or you to go along with him up to surgery"
"I really should be getting back to Reece, but page me if anything happens"
"Sure" Kerry said as Halah and her prepared the gurney to bring in up to the O.R.
So what's gonna happen in surgery and what will be the consequences of Luka's drug abuse.
Please review.
