The heart monitors began to beep. Machines were sounding, alarms indicating erratic heart rhythms.
The doctor began to listen to his heart.
"Sat's are down to 80" a nurse yelled out.
"We're going to scan him for a pulmonary embolism. Bolus 5000 heparin. Start a drip at 1000 an hour" the doctor ordered.
Looking at the scan, the doctor sees it.
"Right pulmonary artery. Get angiography down here for a filter."
The machines began to sound again.
"BP's down to 60, pulse ox 72" a nurse calls out.
"No carotid pulse."
"Dammit, he's thrown another clot. Start chest compressions."
