“AMBULANCE THIRTY-THREE IS RESPONDING; ETA is two
minutes.”
The weather is fucking awful. Autumn rainstorms are sometimes worse
than the super early winter snowstorms. This one is hitting at one of the
worst times it could too. Late summer has been hot and we’ve been in semidrought conditions for the last few weeks – which means no rain.
This storm has brought all of the oil and debris from the road up to the
surface. The force of the wind has knocked the first round of leaves off the
trees, and with that fresh coating, it’s dangerous. It’s slick as ice,
particularly on these back roads.
I’m trying to get to the scene of the accident I’ve been called to as
quickly as possible while still being safe. Sliding slightly as I round a
corner, I grit my teeth. “Son of a bitch!” White-knuckling the wheel, I take
my foot off the gas, letting it slow down on its own. Once I have control of
the rig again, I accelerate, needing to get to the scene both safely and in an
expedited manner.
Turning the corner, the scene is in clear view. Smoke billows from the
crumpled up hood of the car which is upside down. I’m thankful for the
rain; it’s keeping whatever fire might be ready to ignite at bay. The driver’s
side is smashed in, and I’m not looking forward to what’s going to greet me
when I get there. Immediately my training kicks in, ready to determine how
I’m going to respond; what types of first aid I’ll have to render.
It’s a mind game every time I go to a scene, something that helps me get
mentally prepared. That way, in the heat of the moment, I’m not scrambling
and trying to figure out how I can best help the patients.
Pulling up to a stop in front of the wreckage, I reach over and grab my
reflective jacket before setting the brake on the ambulance. I’m shrugging
into the jacket as I get out, grabbing my go-bag and running up to the scene.
“We haven’t gotten in the car yet,” Cam yells over the sound of the
storm.
“Can you get me in the window?” I yell back at him. “That way, I can
assess and at least get Bradford General ready to take them, or see if they
need to be transferred to Knoxville.”
“Yeah, c’mon.” He hitches his chin in the direction of the crash.
I follow closely behind, not wanting to waste any second of whatever
time we have here. Lying down on my stomach, I crawl in. It’s a woman in
the driver’s seat. Her dark hair covers her face. The top of her head is sticky
with blood, and I immediately know there’s a head wound. In the back, I
catch sight of what looks to be a car seat. “We might have a kid in here,” I
yell out to them.
“Where at?” Gage asks, trying to wedge in next to me.
“Back passenger side. Doesn’t that look like the high edge of a car seat
to you?”
“Sure does. Let me get some guys over there. Just need to take a look at
what you’re seeing.”
With him out of the way, I have more room to work.
