Chapter 15
"You hear that?" Asked Corin, She was checking on Dorian when she heard a man scream.
"Yeah, let me go check it out, who knows the guys from Torchwood may need some assistance." Dorian responded, half concerned and half stir crazy.
"No you're not; I'll go check what happened. I'm sure Jack and the others are perfectly capable of protecting themselves."
Quick footsteps interrupted and in came Ianto Jones. "Corin, we need you. It's the Doctor." He said out breath
"What happened?" Dorian asked.
"No time to explain you'll soon find out" Ianto said
"Do I need anything?" She asked
"Just the basics I believe" Ianto said
Corin grabbed what she could and followed Ianto to the bathroom. The man managed to grab a stretcher before leaving the sick bay. She was shocked at what she saw when she entered the bathroom. Jack was on the floor giving the Doctor CPR.
"What happened?" Corin asked
"He took a bottle of aspirin" Ianto said
"Jack let me examine him" Corin asked
"He'll die if I stop, I can't" Jack said
"Don't worry I brought an EKG with me" Corin assured.
"No I can't, he needs me" Jack argued
"You don't have to go I just need to be able to check the damage otherwise I won't know what to do."
"He took a bottle of aspirin and its killing him, enough said!" Jack yelled.
"Please, just let me take a look." Corin begged "If you really want to help him, you'll stop and allow me to do what I need to do."
Jack eventually grudgingly agreed. He then turned to Ianto "Is Martha on her way yet?"
"She's going as fast as she can, but I'm afraid she's hit traffic so she'll be a while." Ianto said apologetically
"We need to get him to the sick bay" Corin ordered
"Will he be okay?" Jack asked
"Not for long if we don't get him on life support, his hearts and lungs are failing. The only reason he's still alive is thanks to you Jack." Corin said
"Is there anything else you can do?" Jack asked
"I'm not sure; I'd rather wait till Martha gets here since she's more familiar with his bodily structure than I am; though he should be good until she gets here as long as we put him on the life support."
"Do what you need to do, just make him better." Jack said
The Doctor was placed on the stretcher and wheeled toward the sick bay. When Dorian saw the Doctors state he was shocked. He just though that the Doctor hurt himself again, but nothing like this.
"What happened" asked Dorian
"We'll explain later" Corin said as she tried to get the Doctor connected to the heart-lung bypass machine, though it was difficult since he did have two hearts. She noticed the Doctor was quite dehydrated "Dorian can you go get me an IV bag for the Doctor."
Dorian willingly hopped out the bed willing to help and glad to be of some use. He fetched the IV bag and handed it to Corin. "Just put it on the hook right there, I'll connect it to the Doctor when I'm done with this." Corin said
"Okay, glad to help." Dorain said
The group worked feverishly to keep the Doctor alive, and all they hoped for now was for Martha to get there soon.
