My Possessive Lover

CHAPTER 4

Ang kotse ay nabangga sa malaking puno wasak ang harapan nito at, tumagos sa windshield ang isang kahoy na tumusok sa balikat ng driver, but he's alive. Umaagos din dito ang dugo. Gumana ang utak niya at naging alerto sa basic nursing procedures. Check for the most severe injury and preserve lives. Secure safety and check vital signs. Una nilang kinuha ang bata na nasa backseat ng sasakyan—iyak ito ng iyak. Buti na lang nakaupo ito sa baby car seat at my airbag na naka install sa side ng pintuan ng sasakyan. Konting galos lang ito. Kinuha ko ang bata dinala sa isang stretcher at chineck kung may broken bones, injuries on her body, luckily wala naman at iyak lang ito ng iyak. Maybe the kid experience trauma, seeing her parents in the horrible state, it was heartbreaking.

Sunod nilang inasikaso ang mag asawa, the girl is lifeless, she checked the vitals, oxygen and injuries in different parts of her body. Tinawag niya ang dalawang kasamahan.

"Over here! We need to remove her and put her on the stretcher so we can assist further with her health status.

Inutos din ko sa dalawang pulis na nauna sa lugar na putulin ang sanga ng puno na tumusok sa driver. Mabilis lahat ng pag kilos para mailigtas mag asawa. She put oxygen on the female victim. I am losing her; vital signs are weak and she is barely breathing.

Naayos na nila ang dalawang patients kasama ang bata na iyak ng iyak, nahabag ako masyado sa bata, gusto ko itong aluin at yakapin sabihin dito na everything will be alright hindi ko magawa. Mas mahalaga muna maibigay ang paunang lunas sa magulang nito.

Sinakay ang dalawa victims sa ambulance habang nasa byahe una kong inasikaso ang ina ng bata. I inserted intravenous fluids (dextrose) immediately. I put the vital signs monitor on to check for pulse, breathing, blood pressure, and temperature.

I took the flashlight to check if the eye was constricted. I need to make sure that there is no brain damage or anything. Using light, you can determine if the brain is okay or not. After my assessment, the patient's eyes responded to light. But her vital signs are dropping. Maya-maya nag flat line na ang patient.

"f**k!" Mura nito. "Mike, I need you here. Do the CPR, and I will prepare the defibrillator initial shock of 100 joules and 0.5 mg epinephrine." Malakas kong sigaw! Ayokong mag expired ang patient ko

“Dhee vitals, no changes.” It was Mike reminding me about the patient.

“Open, and let’s start. I will give her another shock. Please put it on the 100 joules and epinephrine shot.

“Done Dhee,” saad ni Mike na kinakabahan na.

“Put gel Mike”, nilahad ko nag defibrillator machine para malagyan ng gel. Nanginginig si Mike, pinag papawisan na dahil sa sobrang tense ng pangyayari at umaandar pa ang ambulance sa sobrang bilis.

“Mike, concentrate. We had this case before; your eyes are on me. Mike clear out, are we all clear?” I shouted so they could hear me and release my tension.

“All clear,” sabay sigaw ng dalawang kasama ko. At ang katabing pasyente halos panawan na ng ulirat. Putlang putla na ito pero na gamot na ang sugat nito. She put the defibrillator on the right upper part of the sternum and left side lower part of the heart. Pag lapat noon ay tumaas ang katawan ng patient but no changes on the monitor.

“Increase it to 250 joules, 45 amps.” Agad sumunod si Mike.

“All clear."!” Paglapat ng defibrillator sa patient I looks at the monitor, nagkaroon ng changes in vital signs monitor pero mababa pa rin. Pababa ng pababa ang vital signs nito.

“Give me the flashlight, Mike,” Sinuri ko agad ang mata ng patient kong is still not responding to light. Oh God, this is bad.

“Mike make it 360 joules. How many minutes intervals for epinephrine shots?” I asked Mike. Namumutla na ito, ang dami nang dugo ang nawala sa pasyente. Tulala na ito at nanginginig pa.

“Michael, how many minutes?” I reminded him again. He was out of focus.

“Five minutes,” Mike responded, his voice trembling. Then I hold his hand and look him in the eye.

“Calm down, Michael, focus, give another shot; we can do this.” Tumango lang ito.

“Dhee given now.” It was Mike in a confident voice. I smiled at him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. When I heard his go signal, sabay kaming tumingin sa monitor.

“All clear...!Clear!" We spoke in unison.

Naging stable ang pasyente pero di pa rin ito siguro dahil unconscious ito kailangan pa nito ang maraming test. Nang masiguro na normal ang ina ng bata hinarap ko naman ang ama ng bata. Iyak ito ng iyak, maliban sa sugat ni nito sa balikat dahil sa sanga ng kahoy, galos sa noo, mukha, gilid ng bibig nito, braso wala na siyang nakikitang pinsala pa sa lalaki.

“Sir, how are you feeling right now? Sir, I need you to fill out the details for your wife, yours, and your daughter.” He is still in shock.

Tanong ko na puno ng awa ang mga mata ko. Gusto kong umiyak sa sinapit ng pamilyang niya ngunit di ko magawa. Hindi dapat haluan ang mahinang emosyon ang trabaho ko para magampanan ko ito ng maayos. Hinawakan ng lalaki ang kamay ko at tumingin siya sa akin. Puno ng galit at pasasalamat ang nababakas ko doon.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for saving my wife. We owe you her second life.” Maluha-luhang sabi nito sa akin. I was flattered that I could help and save people's lives.

"Sir it’s my job and it’s an honor." Tumingin siya sa anak niya at kinuha ito.

"Come baby, baby mommy is okay now, don't cry, okay?" Niyakap niya ito at binulungan. Yumakap ang bata at umiyak sa balikat niya. Maya-maya pa narating na nila ang St. James medical hospital. Pag pasok nila sa Emergency room punong puno ito ng mga pasyente na puro emergency case rin. Lumapit ang doctor dito

“Dhee we are full, pati ang operating rooms natin puno rin. We can't accommodate them. Ilipat mo sila sa Buenavista Medical Hospital nasa two blocks from here.” Dali-dali akong bumalik at sinabihan ng driver na ilipat sa ibang ospital ang mga pasyente. Agad naman nitong pinaandar ang sasakyan.

Pagdating sa Buenavista Medical Centre agad hinanap kong ang in-charge emergency room. Agad pinasok ng kasamahan mga kasamahan na sina Mike and Blake ang critical na pasyente.

"Excuse me, sir, who is in charge here? I have a critical patient; I would like to give my endorsement and health status update." Mabilis kong imporma sa kapwa ko nurse.

Paglingon ko nagtama ang aming mga mata ni Chlyde? Titig na titig ito sa akin. Halata ang pagod at puyat sa mukha pero hindi ko na pinansin ang mariing tingin niya.

"Doctor !?" di ito sumagot kahit malakas na ang sigaw ng nurse in-charge.

Doctor Buenavista!" I have a patient here sigaw nito sa doctor." Bigla naman itong nagulat sa lakas ng boses ni nurse.

"Yes, please status update Ms. San Jose." wika ni Chlyde na biglang bumilis ang pintig ng puso ko. Damn, what happened to me? Bulyaw niya sa sarili.

"Patient Nicole Fernandez, Married, female, 32 years old, car accident with broken upper torso, broken lower ribs, broken bone in left femur. Possible internal bleeding.

“No head injury, vital signs flat rate for 60 seconds. Defibrillator shock is given from 200 joules for the first shock, 250 joules for the second shock, and 360 joules for the third shock. Epinephrine given in the first initial shot was 0.5 mg, and another 0.5 mg was given after 5-minute intervals. She needs an MRI for a series of tests. Sunod-sunod na paglalahad ko sa Doktor. Here's her chart. All written there based on my assessment and first aid given.”

“If you have any questions, I'll be here." Agad na inabot ni Chlyde ang chart at binasa yun sabay senyas sa nurse. “Patient needs MRI. Prepare the OR? Let me know the health update of our new patient. Agad tumalima ang mga nurses sa dapat gawin.

Habang binabasa ni Chlyde, patient number two, her husband. No severe injuries, just bruises and scratches. But he has a wound due to a sharp object on his shoulder.

Takang tumingin si Chlyde, “why the passenger was severely injured?" May pagtatakang tanong sa akin. Nagsalubong pa ang kilay niya.

"To answer your question, Doctor Buenavista, the airbag didn't deploy after the car was crushed. As per the two policemen, a light appeared on the dashboard, which means the airbag had been deactivated. You can ask the police about this. That's the only information I had a while ago when I asked the two police officers who arrived first on the scene before we came."

Diretsong sagot ko sa tanong ni Chlyde, hindi ko na pinansin ang kakaibang titig nito sa akin. My job comes first.

Pinuntahan agad ko ang isang pasyente para sabihin dito ang status nito. “Also Doctor Buenavista I need your child's healthcare personnel to assess trauma on the child.”

Karga-karga ito ng ama. Nakatulog na sa sobrang pagod, gutom at kakaiyak

“Nurse please assist these two patients and call childcare services to come here ASAP. Agad naman tiningnan ko ang bata siguro ito ay nasa 4- 5 years old na ito. Parang kinurot ang puso ko…
