The Doctor's Lost-and-Found Bride - Plot & Excerpts
Marina was working with Max in Resus, and there was a constant stream of cases—a woman with chest pain, a man with severe abdominal pain and an elderly man with a transient ischaemic attack. The team was working flat out, and they had just about enough time to grab half a sandwich before the next shout. Max looked grim. ‘We have a teenager on his way in. He was on his bike, not wearing a helmet; a car clipped him and he came off and hit his head. GCS 7.’ A Glasgow Coma Score of 7 meant that the boy was unconscious and unresponsive—and it was harder to judge his injuries. Given that he’d hit his head, his injuries could be severe. Life-threatening, even. ‘Stella—can you warn radiology that we’ll need an urgent CT scan, please, and get neurology on standby?’ Max asked. Moments after the handover, Marina could see that the neuro obs weren’t good. She wasn’t happy with the boy’s pulse rate or his blood pressure, and even less happy that he still hadn’t regained full consciousness twenty minutes after the accident.
