FRAGMENT KSIĄŻKI
CHAPTER 1
“WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON?” she asked in a hushed, flustered voice.
“Adverse reaction,” said the doctor. “You need to give us a few minutes.”
Susan retreated to a corner of the room and listened to the tortured rattle of the man’s breathing for a minute, before stepping out of the room. Taking her phone out of her pocket, she wandered down the corridor, and began describing the situation.
“It’s the second time this has happened.”
“I’m aware of that.”
“Well?”
“Well what?”
“What are we going to do?” she asked in a frantic voice.
“Nothing. There’s no reason to panic yet.”
“This time lungs... last time liver damage...”
“Liver damage in someone who was an alcoholic and forgot to tell us about it before the trial. It’s all in black and white, on the report. Don’t worry, we’re insured.”CHAPTER 2
THE DOORS TO A&E slid open and the paramedics rushed in, wheeling the stretcher. On it, lay a man with an oxygen mask half covering his bloodied face, and a drip attached to his arm.
“John Jones. 27. Run over by a car. Conscious when we arrived. Possible fracture to left tibia. Bruising to the stomach. GCS^() 13. BP^() 120 over 70. Pulse 80. Sats^() 98%. Received 10 of morphine at the scene for the pain,” said the paramedic to the doctor and nurse who had come to meet them.
“Take him through to the emergency room,” said Dr Gunn, following the stretcher.
In the room, two junior members of his team and a nurse were already waiting to get to work on the man. They transferred him carefully from the stretcher to the waiting bed and began the series of tests that would determine what exactly the man’s injuries were. Ten minutes later, his condition suddenly began to deteriorate and the monitors began to show an alarming series of numbers. One of the junior doctors went out to fetch Doctor Gunn.
“He’s gone into cardiac arrest,” said the nurse to Dr Gunn, as he came through the doors.
“Okay, begin CPR^().”
Gunn began massaging the man’s chest as everyone else from the team stood back. After several minutes one of the junior doctors took over. Still, there was no change. Gunn intervened. “Okay. Begin shocking,” he said as the team set up the electrical equipment.
“Everyone stand back,” said Gunn, before applying the first shock. He repeated the procedure several times and then stood back. He had seen enough. “Okay, everybody, if you’re all in agreement, I’m calling it.” He looked around and saw there was no doubt. “Time of death 10:27,” he said, his thoughts already turning to other things.
As he walked out of the doors, a middle-aged woman was walking in. John Gunn turned for a moment and saw the nurse come over and put her arm around the woman, as the terrible truth dawned on her.
“Come on, let’s have a coffee,” said Dr Kim Nicholls, the senior registrar, as she came out of the room behind Dr Gunn.
“Was that his mother?” Gunn asked as they entered the doctors’ room.
“Yes,” confirmed Dr Nicholls.
“Tough... How quickly things can change. A couple of hours ago she would have been sitting in the kitchen, drinking a cup of tea and running through the things she had to do today. And now... We have no idea, do we...”
“We don’t,” said Dr Nicholls, filling the kettle up.
As they waited for it to boil, talk turned to the evening ahead. “Are you coming to the Indian for Jim’s birthday after work?” Dr Nicholls asked.
“Of course.”
“Then karaoke afterwards? To do your Sinatra?”
“I’m not sure. I shouldn’t be late home tonight. Leslie’s got to get up early for a school trip tomorrow. They’re off up to Edinburgh. If I’m back late, I won’t get to see her till tomorrow night.”
“Fair enough. Are you prepared for the France trip yet?”
“I can’t wait,” Gunn said. “Sunshine and a few glasses of the local plonk by the sea are just what I need at the moment.”
The door opened and the senior nurse popped her head in.
“Back to work, you two.”
“What is it?” said Dr Nicholls as they were leaving the room.
“17-year-old girl. Suspected heroin overdose.”
“At 10:30 in the morning...” said Dr Gunn, shaking his head.
“She might also be pregnant,” added the nurse as they followed her into the emergency room.
