Station 19
Side of the road
Maya knelt next to the spinal board which had her friend strapped to, she looks up to see her friends just standing there thinking that this is the second time one of their own is on the way to hospital for treatment.
"hey what you looking at I need help now your friend needs treating before she dies" shouts Maya.
Everyone rushes to get to work, warren and Travis kneel next to her they grab the available medical bags they can get and they unzip them.
"Maya calm down let me take over her treatment, you stay near her head and monitor her airway" says warren.
Maya does as warren says, she stays near Andy's head, while Travis and warren cut away her clothes and attach leads to her friends' body, as the clothes were cut away, they revealed extensive bruising to Andy's stomach and sides, warren feels around Andy's chest checking for broken ribs, and possible internal bleeding, he also assesses her arms and shoulder which he reveals that her right arm is broken and her shoulder is dislocated.
"so, warren as a former doctor what's your diagnosis" asks Maya?
"err in my opinion she has a head injury, broken ribs and a punctured lung, possible internal bleeding, dislocated right shoulder and she has a break in her right lower arm, and I say we start fluids and manage her airway we may need to intubate for the ride to hospital and splint her right arm" explains warren.
"intubate so then we can transport her easily to hospital, and warren is riding in the back with Maya and Andy he is taking control of her treatment until the hand over at the hospital" orders Ripley.
"yes sir" answers warren.
"you're are up warren what do you want us to do" asks Travis?
"err well I need some space" asks warren looking to all the other officers watching as Andy lay on the board unconscious.
Ripley hears his demands.
"right listen up station 23 aid car can stay, but the rest of station 23 are dismissed, now jack you take Vic and dean back to the station in the ladder then meet us at the hospital, and bring Pruitt to the hospital" explains Ripley.
"sir" answers jack.
Jack does as he is told, he takes dean and Vic into the ladder and they drive off back to the station.
"thank you, sir," says warren preparing to intubate Andy.
Warren paralyses Andy with drugs, then he guides the tube down her throat until it fits in, he inflates the cuff and checks for air entry, when he hears the sounds of good tube placement, he breathes a sigh of relief, he attaches the bag and pumps air into Andy's lungs.
"right tube is in position and we are ready to load her into the ambulance" says warren.
"okay get the trolley ready everyone grabs an edge of the board and move her to the trolley" says Ripley.
Once Andy is strapped to the trolley, warren and Maya climb in the ambulance and they head off to the hospital.
"right we will be at the hospital once we dropped the truck off at the station" says Ripley as the ambulance doors close.
Maya closes the doors and soon the ambulance is speeding away from the road, and then the engine follows.

In trauma one
In the trauma room they take his clothes off and assess him for internal damage, they take x-rays, of his spine and find he has a fracture in the spine and that's why he couldn't feel his legs, and he had a slight concussion from the impact.
As the trauma staff worked on captain Sullivan, Andy arrived in the ambulance unconscious and severely injured, as they brought her in to the hospital she started seizing, plus her blood pressure was low, once she was assessed they confirmed that she had an internal bleed from broken ribs, but that's all they had until something else happens.
Andy's diagnosis was internal bleeding from broken ribs and once they were sorted she was out of the woods, and soon she could get on with her life.
