" Catherine can you hear me?" Rachel asked beginning to panic
" Come on Catherine," Rachel said
Rachel got her phone and dialled 999
" Ambulance please, It's Waterloo Road School. Girl been found unconscious in the school toilets. Please get here quickly," Rachel explained
Rachel began to look through Catherine's bag. She found the paracetomol and ibroprofen boxes. She began to panic as she realised that Catherine was trying to overdose. But she was confused on why she did this.
The ambulance arrived and Rachel explained she had found the boxes in her bag and how Catherine had taken the 32 tablets. They took her to the Holby Emergency Department and took her into resus.
" This is Catherine Turner, Year 12 at Waterloo Road. She is 15 years old and was found unconscious in the school toilets with having a suspected overdose. Her GCS is 14, blood pressure is 160/80, heart rate is 150," the paramedic had explained
" Okay thank you. I'm Dr Zoe Hanna and I will be looking after you today. Can you hear me Catherine?" Zoe had asked
" Let's give her fluids through an IV, Let's pump her stomach," Zoe explained
" How is she doing?" Rachel asked
" I think she is going to pull through, you found her at the right time. If she had taken anymore of those tablets she wouldn't have made it. You did the right thing Rachel," Zoe explained
" Thank you Dr Hanna. Can I go and see her now?" Rachel asked
" Yes sure. She should regain consciousness in a few hours. But you can sit with her until she wakes up. I'll be back in a bit to check her obs," Zoe explained
" Thanks Doctor," Rachel replied
Rachel sat with Catherine until she fully regained consciousness. As soon as Catherine had fullen woken up she began to cry.
" Hey it's okay, you're in the hospital and I'm here," Rachel explained giving Catherine a hug
" Hospital?" Catherine asked
" Yes you had an overdose on some tablets, I found you in the toilets," Rachel told her
" I'm so sorry miss.." Catherine explained now crying
" Do you think you can tell me why you took those tablets Catherine?" Rachel asked
" No I don't think I can.." Catherine explained
