âED TRAUMA CALL, ten minutes.â
Ionaâs heart sank. Another one? The previous trauma patient had only just arrived, and they were seriously short-staffed. Andy Gallagher was on holiday, Sam Ryder had gone for lunch five minutes ago at three thirty, they were rushed off their feet and she was virtually on her own because James Slater, the clinical lead, was already up to his eyes in Resus with the trauma patient whoâd just arrived, a construction worker with severe crush injuries to his chest who from what she could gather was resisting all attempts to resuscitate him.
Which made her, a brand new registrar, the most senior doctor available, so it wasnât a surprise when she was called into Resus. James didnât pause what he was doing. âIona, can you take the trauma call, please? I canât leave my patient but Iâll be right here, so you can run things by me if you need to.â
âSure.â
She went back to her patient, handed her over to the F2 junior doctor she was with, found out as much detail as possible about the incoming casualty, went into Resus and put on a lead apron. Their patient had been hit by a car and had suspected pelvic injuries, which she really hadnât wanted to hear, so heâd need X-rays to check for fractures. She hoped they wouldnât be too serious because James was still tied up and looking at him she was fairly sure he would be for some time, because he and his team were now opening the patientâs chest and it wasnât looking pretty.
