Hi!
So, against my better judgement, I've started writing another story. Sarah and Ava are my two favourite characters so there's your hint about the rest of this story.
Lots of love,
Coacoa-05
"See ya, Maggie," Will said waving. His eyes had dark bags under them and his hair was messy. He had just finished the night shift.
"Good luck, Maggie," April sleepily mumbled as she dragged herself out of the ED.
"Bye Will, have a good morning April!" Maggie told them as they walked out the ED doors.
"Connor, Ava, good morning!" she said before her pager went crazy. "You two, stay down here, we got two pedes vs autos coming in, looks like they'll both need surgery, and one of them is one of our own."
"One of our own, what does that mean?" Ava asked.
"Someone from PD, Fire or Med, now get in there!"
"But, I'm a CT surgeon- "Ava started.
"And I'm a trauma surgeon short!" Maggie shouted in retaliation.
"Hey," Connor said, grabbing Ava's shoulder," the only difference between trauma and CT is the body part, you still remember med school anatomy?"
She grinned and nodded at this, rolling her eyes at his pathetic attempt to make a joke.
"Pedes vs Auto, male, early 30s, GSC 11, grossly malformed arms and leg, has been complaining of stomach pain," a paramedic told them.
"Okay Rhodes, take him to Trauma 6,"
"The girl, the one with the white coat, is she okay?" the man asked.
"She's gonna get the best care possible, but right now we're going to focus on you," Connor said, shining a light in his eyes to check his pupil reflexes.
The doors opened again and the second patient was brought in. Her curly brown hair was partially coated in blood and her face had a deep cut running from her cheek to her eye. Her white coat was stained bright red, obstructing the words written on it.
"Sarah Reese, 27, female, was hit on the full and flew at least 30 feet, massive internal bleeding, took a decent hit to the head, GCS 10, she coded once on the way here," Brett told them shakily.
"Sarah…" Maggie said, her jaw open.
"Maggie, I'm going to take her straight up to the OR, Ethan, I want you to get Connor up there too, this going to be too much for me to do alone," Ava ordered, taking control.
"Dr… Be- be- k- "
"Save your breath, Reese we're going to take good care of you," she told her as they wheeled the gurney into the lift.
*In surgery*
"How nice of you to join us, Dr Rhodes- " Ava began, ready to tell him off for tardiness but she could see the panic in his eyes. "You friends with Dr Reese?"
"You could say…" he said, his eyes drifting across Sarah's abdomen, which had stitches and clamps stuck in it all over the place.
"Dr Rhodes, are you with me?"
"Yep," Connor snapped back into reality, "what do you want me to do?"
"Give me suction, I'm going to take out the spleen," Ava said, moving her forceps and pinching the spleen.
"Suction."
Ava cut and cauterised all of the vessels before lifting out the very badly bruised spleen.
"And… done. Let's sew her up," she said before gazing at her friend. "Hey, are you okay? Connor. Connor!"
Without warning, the surgeon left the OR, leaving Dr Bekker in there with only a few residents, nurses and Marty.
"Close her up," she said, snapping off her gloves and taking off her mask before running after her friend.
