The Impossible Patient

“Bp is, impossibly high..” -

“That’s not a medical evaluation!” -

“Do you have an evaluation for this?”-

“No, damn she feels like a sauna…”

“Good thing they finally switched those linens to flame retardant.” -

“That’s not funny!-“

“I’m not laughing, this is impossible!”-

“Temperature has climbed, 320 degrees.”-

“What is going on here?!” -

“How long until we’re there we need to pack her in ice STAT!”-

“Traffic is cooperating, ETA 10 minutes!”

“Call it in, we need a gurney and a room with an ice unit as soon as we pull in!” -

“Can you hear me, what’s your name?”-

“Hey, stay awake alright talk to us.-“

“Get the hazmats, this is getting beyond dangerous!”-

“What’s your name?”

“Do you know where you are?”

“Pupils are responding, she is responsive but-“

“We’re pulling in, emergency team on standby below.”

“Koko’s gonna have a field day with this one.”-

“Stay with us.”-

“Did you warn them to get the hazmat ready?”-

“Yes, let’s lower her down. Easy does it.”-

“We have a room available?”-

“Made preparations as soon as they call came in, I’ll take it from here.”

“Miss, can you hear me? How many fingers?”-

“She’s been responsive but no vocal communication and her temperature keeps spiking higher than I’ve ever seen a temp go.”-

“What’s the temp and Bp?”-

360 degrees and climbing…”-

“WHAT?!”-

“I’m calling for an isolation unit,”

“Let’s get a damp cool fireproof sheet, we don’t want her going into shock by submerging her too quickly.-“

“Yes Doctor.”-

“Easy does it, 1, 2 and 3! Lift!”

“What’s going on, she’s crashing!”-

“Is she too hot, going into shock?”-

“This amount of cool water should be fine.”-

“What should we do Doctor?!”-

“GET IT OFF HER!”-

“The hell? Vitals are rising but-

“Her temp and Bp are continuing to climb!”-

“This kind of rising should be causing cardiac arrest!”-

“Just who or what is this girl?…-“
