Medical Post: The Gym

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

Susan, Zhaan, and others have numerous cots set up with dividers, and a table with their instruments in one corner of the gym. They are treated the injured and preparing for more casualties. After some quick and hasty introductions, they got ready for any incoming patients and hoped there wouldn't be any.


ETA: Post is closed to new play as of 11:22 EST. If you're injured, come into the clinic tomorrow-- the doctors are as fried as their players.

Emergency - frostbite

Hypothermia, frozen limbs or fingers

The Tick ran into the gym from detention carrying Archie Kennedy - who was suffering from snowball-induced hypothermia - and Lockheed - who was frozen in a block of ice.

"Help needed!" he welled, running towards Susan.

Jarod ran over. "What's the problem, sir?"

"It was a difficult detention," Tick said, helping Susan with Archie (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/573150.html?thread=27267550#t27267550).

Jarod ran over to the food tables, and dumped out one of the chafing dishes, which he then filled with an inch of water, lighting the sterno underneath them. He then placed the block o' Lockheed in the dish of water, covering him with a couple of towels.

"Thank you, Jarod," Tick said. "I figure he'll probably be fine since he has a firely center, but thawing him out quickly would be for the best, of course."

The block of Lockheed was melting faster than normal due to his firey center indeed.

Jarod wrung out the towel into the dish, then replaced it to absorb more of the heat from the firey-centered frozen dragon.

"You're welcome. Has he sustained other injuries? Because I don't know anything about dragon physiology."

Re: Emergency - frostbite

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"No, just frozen. He melted a couple snowmen before getting hit." Tick smiled. "He did well."

Lockheed thawed a little more.

"Good for him." Jarod looked at the melting ice. "Now we just wait, I guess."

"We need more help over here!" Susan called, then helped the young man in uniform sit down. She shot the Tick one startled, confused glance, then said, "How did he get like this?"

Re: Emergency - frostbite

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Snowmen attacked the gym. He was hit by a snowball and got sick." Having his other arm free, Tick then put down the block of ice with Lockheed in it. "And the dragon here was hit by a raygun. I think he'll be okay once we thaw him out, though."

Re: Emergency - frostbite

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Right." Susan helped him guide the young man over to the cot, and frowned. "Since there's no other injury, I'm going to start you on warm oxygen, is that all right, Archie? And give you an electric blanket."

She stared at Lockheed. "Okayy. Jarod? Could you help with, um, the dragon?"

Alarmingly pale by now and too lethargic to even respond, Archie managed the barest hint of a nod.

Re: Emergency - frostbite

[susanofnarnia.livejournal.com]

"Now, stay with me," she scolded. "What's your name, rank, and serial number?" She's mostly joking, but with the uniform, it seemed a safe question to ask.

Re: Emergency - frostbite

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie might have nodded if his body were capable of it. As it was, a weak but unmistakable laugh escaped his throat. "Kennedy, Archie, Lieut--" he rasped.

The serial number part would have confused him even if he were lucid, though.

"Good, that's it, just keep breathing it in." Susan adjusted the mix and temperature on the tank, and pulled the electric blanket closer, then checked his fingers and toes. They were starting to blush a little pinker. "Lie down, let me cover you up."

Dallas strode into the gym.

"Cold. Need warm. Please?" she said, shivering uncontrollably.

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[notavegetarian.livejournal.com]

Notcing the young woman, Zhaan headed for her. Noting the not-quite normal palor and blue lips, she took her arm and steered her to a cot. "We need to warm you quickly."

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Are you cold too?" Dallas asked, shivering. "Blue, I mean."

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[notavegetarian.livejournal.com]

"Not normally, no." A slight smile playing at her lips, Zhaan added another blanket and took the girl's hands in her own, closing her eyes a moment to regulate her body temperature slightly warmer than normal and chafing them.

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Dallas muttered. "This place? Is kinda batshit. Y'all know that, right?"

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[notavegetarian.livejournal.com]

Zhaan chuckled. "It seems to be so." She tilted her head while assessing the girl's color. "I'm not certain that a quiet town would be as interesting, however."

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Definitely not," Dallas agreed, her teeth lessening their chattering. "But this place makes Basin City look sane. And that is saying something."

Re: Emergency - Frostbite

[notavegetarian.livejournal.com]

Warming her hands a little more, Zhaan smiled, "I admit this is quite a bit stranger than anything I've encountered."

"Real smooth, Dallas," Wendy called from where she was having her ankle tended. By a handsome blond firefighter. Yes. Life was good.
