>A few minutes later, Serana walked into Sickbay
and found Garibaldi. "Status," she said crisply to Lucas.
>Lucas relayed the readings and treatments given
thus far. He was shot twice- once int he back and another in the center of
his chest. He was no longer in shock, although he arrived heading deep
into shock. The wounds were sealed by the blast, so there was not much in
the form of bleeding. Although, there was some internal bleeding that if
not addressed soon would cause serious problems. His blood pressure was
low, but stable. It had been decreasing ever since he was
stabilized. His heart rate was similar- lowering and beating with less
strength. Garibaldi had been given fluids and a dose of epi in
triage.
"All right, Lucas," Serana said, lowering herself
into a mobile chair to save her strength, "You're going to have to do most of
the actual work. I'll direct you."
>Before anything further could be done, the
bio-bed started to scream. Marcus Garibaldi was having a heart
attack.
The room erupted into activity. This was
something the nurses knew how to handle. One grabbed the defib and passed
it to a very pale Lucas, who tried to follow Serana's instructions as best he
could. (ooc: sorry to those doctors out there; I don't really know what
the procedure for helping a heart attack victim is, so I'm fudging it.)
Lucas wavered, his hands shaking, and started to get a glazed look about
him. Another nurse prepared to inject the Admiral with a stabilizer,
looking askance at Serana for the go-ahead. Lucas seemed to be fascinated
by that, in a bemused way.
"Lucas!" Serana's voice cut through his trembling,
"You can do this, you went through the training at medical school. Just
stay with me."
Lucas swallowed and nodded, steadying his
hands. One of the nurses mopped sweat off his brow.
"I swear, Garibaldi, if I get you through this,
you're going to owe me big time," Serana muttered, "Okay, now adjust the setting
to the defib. Place it on his chest, in position.... that's right.
Is it reading that it's directly above his heart? Look at the screen...
Yes? Now activate it."
He did, and it sent a stimulant directly into the
Admiral's heart. The nurses all turned to the monitor
anxiously...
(is the Old Man still with us?)
