Chapter Twenty – Surgery

“We're loosing him,” Simon said, “Ten of epinephrine,” He ordered the paramedic.

The paramedic pushed the drug into Reggie's IV, his blood pressure immediately jumped.

It was tight in the back of the flying ambulance. Allan was at Reggie's head intubating him. Oso handing him equipment as needed. Simon and the Paramedic worked on containing the bleeding. Reggie Michaels was in bad shape.

With a slight bump, The ambulance alighted on the pad outside Capital City General's ER.

Quickly Reggie was moved inside to the busy department. As Reggie was moved to a treatment bed, the attending surgeon strode to the bedside.

“What do we have?” The doctor asked.

Before the Paramedics could speak, Simon gave his report, “Twenty eight year old male, struck by a high energy laser distal to the right shoulder. Explosive amputation. He's had two liters of saline, ten of epinephrine. Intubated and on a vent. I got most of the bleeders with a laser cauterizer. Pressure is eighty over forty, pulse one twenty...”

“And who the hell are you?” The attending demanded, not looking at Simon's face.

“Hi Terry.”

“Simon?” the attending nearly squeaked as he recognized his former colleague and friend, “What... how?”

“Tell you later.”

The attending shook his head for a moment then nodded. After a quick exam of the patient, Dr. Terry Hong's face grew grim, “Simon? Still got your license?”

“I do,” Simon replied.

“Scrub up. I'm going to need help on this one.”

Simon shot his friend a quick smile and nodded.
