"Right. This isn't anything on the Blitz," Walter said, surveying the wreck. "We have to stop traffic because we shouldn't move the mother until an ambulance gets here."

"Okay, that makes sense, as far as it goes." Parker got out road flares and set them up to block off the road, after calling 911. "One of you guys get the baby out of the car."

Cally blinked at the overturned car. She wasn't totally prepared for this sort of thing on her first day of the course.

"Umm... don't we need, like, jaws of life or something to do this?"

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 blonde_doctor May 23 2006, 17:49:49 UTC

"The window's open," Elliot pointed out. "Someone skinny could reach through."

She wrinkled her nose. "You guys did get a pretty serious situation, but you'll deal."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 mparkerceo May 23 2006, 18:05:41 UTC

"Gee, thanks," Parker snarked under her breath. "Okay. Where's Rory? I think she's the skinniest. Then you, Cally, maybe."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 walter_n_wires May 23 2006, 18:12:26 UTC

Walter considered the situation. He was supposed to be taking it easy and the baby wasn't real, but saving a baby definitely couldn't fall under the heading of misusing the wires.

"We don't need jaws of life, whatever those are." He carefully cut the door off the car and stepped aside as it fell to the ground before crawling in to the car to check the baby. "Someone go see to the father."

Greg walked over to look at the father, carefully sliding into the ditch crouching beside him.

He gingerly lifted the folds of the father's clothes with a pencil, and called, "Okay, we've got head trauma over here, but he's breathing. Um. As it were. I can't tell if anything else is broken...can we make a stretcher?"

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 sogothcally May 23 2006, 19:15:06 UTC

Cally looked around. "Out of what? I mean, I'm no Professor from Little Buddy's Island. I need more than a couple coconuts to build things."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 walter_n_wires May 23 2006, 19:16:31 UTC

Walter, in the meantime, is trying to figure out how to extricate the crying child from its carseat. Those snaps are harder than you'd think, especially with a baby's weight on them.

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 mparkerceo May 23 2006, 19:25:22 UTC

Parker popped the trunk of the car to see if there was anything in there to help, like blankets and car chains. "Hang on, Gregerino. I think there's some stuff here that can work."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 like_a_sponge May 23 2006, 23:31:41 UTC

"We need to keep him flat," Greg called. "I can't tell if any bones are broken, y'know? He could have internal bleeding, too."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 mparkerceo May 24 2006, 00:25:04 UTC

Parker dragged over the chains, and the blankets, then grimaced. "Okay. We need something flat... duh. The car seats. Hang on."

She went back to the car and unscrewed the back car seat, dragging the cushion over to Greg. "Now what?"

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 like_a_sponge May 24 2006, 00:39:43 UTC

"Now we lift him out of the ditch and wait for help to arrive?" Greg proposed. "Carefully, of course."

Re: Team A, Scenario 1 mparkerceo May 24 2006, 00:41:10 UTC

"Right. And I'm remembering stuff about spinal cord injuries and other stuff, so-- all of us together? Less chance of something going wrong?" Parker moved down by the guy's feet, and looked around for Cally.

Hearing this, Elliot motions Cally aside and talks to her quietly. "Hey, it seems like this assignment threw you a bit. Do you want to sit down or get some water or something? Because the point is that sometimes in an emergency, the situation won't be ideal, and you have to improvise."
