There wasn't much room in the Ambulance as the vehicle swerved around the corner making its way to the local hospital. Lucy Snigs worked on the patient; strapping an oxygen mask around his mouth to help him breath calmly and steadily; plugging in a heart monitor and placing the EGC electrodes onto the young mans chest; injecting his arm with the needle attached to the I.V that was giving him the fluids he had lost out of shock.
They needed a blood sample quick. The sooner they were able to get the results the better as they needed to find out the cause of the sudden disaster.
Of course Lucy had seen and experienced much worse conditions but it is always awful to loose a life and to break it to the family.
She asked one of her colleges, Jonathan, to place a strap around top of Mr Poole's bicep and retighten it so she could draw blood from the vain around the elbow joint for testing.
You can never get to close to a patient; it always hurt the most when you come to enjoy their company because they only either die or are released to go one with their lives once they have recovered. It is worse if you spend months or even years, depending on what is wrong with them, getting to know them during your breaks or helping them through traumatic experiences.
Needle in; blood drawn; needle out; cotton placed over pierced skin.
Lucy handed the syringed containing the blood to her second college, Mike, next to her while the other undid the strap that was stopping the blood flow.
She stood their in the vehicle with her hand putting slight pressure on the small hole with the cotton wool.
Then she saw it; his eyes, his eyelids fluttered. A small moan escaped his lips as he opened his eyes.
"Mr Poole? Riley Poole? Can you hear me? You're in an Ambulance. We're taking you to the hospital. Can you hear me? Do you remember anything?"
Riley's reply was a soft moan and he squeezed his eyes shut, obviously in an immense amount of pain.
Before anything else happened he started hacking. He shook and shivered as cough after cough discharged from his lungs. Blood and sick were visibly erupting from his mouth.
Lucy, being a quick thinker on her feet and under pressure, ripped the oxygen mask from Riley's face and tour the I.V and heart monitor from his body while Mike and Jonathan undid the straps holding Riley down so as he didn't fall in an accident. Lifting his left arm above his head she turned him on his side so his cheek rested upon his risen arm. After she helped him with her hands to relieve him of the unwanted fluids that was nearly chocking him.
That was another bad thing about being a Doctor, you were there with people you didn't know, or maybe you did know, at their worst moments of their lives.
"Mr Poole? Good, that's good. Just keep breathing." She helped him as he gasped for breath to the point where he wasn't aware of anything anymore. He was out cold when she placed him on his back again and checked his airway was clear. When she was positive she replaced the oxygen mask, heart monitor and I.V while the two men beside her re-strapped Riley in so if an accident was to occur he wouldn't be coursed more serious injuries..
Before all three were finished there was a loud screech and Lucy, Mike and Jonathan were thrown to the left side of the Ambulance while equipment that wasn't strapped to the walls fell around them.
They hadn't been able to strap Riley back onto the bed probably. The left side wall became the floor and Riley hung on the bed from his left arm and both legs. His right hand dangled; blood seeped out of the four inch wound that the I.V needle had created in the disruption; slicing deep through a vain. Half his body hung towards the centre of gravity. The heart monitor held a long, high pitched beep as the ECG electrodes from the young mans chest and the monitor was unable to receive anymore signals from the pumping heart.

Ben had been thinking through the whole trip. Thinking about how he could have prevented this disaster. There were so many signs; he had looked ill, tired, distraught, pained, out of place, pale; he hadn't had the usual smart comments just childish jokes that were said half heartedly. He had noticed it for around three days but today was different, he looked lost, dying … that's when Ben realised what had actually happened, Riley had died. He had died and Ben, he, himself had revived him from an eternal sleep. He brought him back; he had saved his best friends life.
His thoughts wondered to what would have happened if Riley hadn't come back and what if… what if he died again and they weren't able to bring him back again? He had never thought of what he would do if he had ever lost either Riley or Abigail. Yes he had lost people in the past but his love for Abi… he had never realised how much he loved her; he had said he loved her but he had never realised how he couldn't live without her.
She was his life, his hope, his dream, his sanity. She would be the only one to pull him out of his misery if Riley had gone, but of course it would have been hard but she would help him and he would help her. Thankfully Riley wasn't dead 'yet'.
Unexpectedly the Ambulance about 6 metres in front turned sharply to the left and skidded on the ice. Doing a 90 degree turn it lifted and fell onto its side.
"SHIT!" Ben pulled the steering wheel to the right sliding a few feet past where the Ambulance had been upturned.
The girls in the back had stopped screaming and all three individuals were breathing heavily until Ben awoke from his shock.
"Abi! Are you two alright?"
Both girls still shock nodded while holding each other in a more protective way that frightened, just staring goggled eyed at Ben.
"Abi? I need you to phone for an ambulance."
"But we… we already have one?" She hadn't seen it; she was in the front on the car at the time.
"Abi, we need another ambulance now, please phone for one, tell them we are down frogmorten lane." Ben handed her his mobile. She took it slowly with a shaking hand like he was handing her a gun and asking her to shoot him. Tears once again poured down her face as she realised something was terribly wrong.
Ben rushed out of the car and made his way past it. Both Abi and Louisa looked around, out of the back screen fearing what there was there.
"NOOOOOO!" Louisa's high pitched, ear piercing scream was heard from Ben outside running towards the vehicle containing the dead.
