Prompt: Special Challenge #2, from ncisdrabble100
Words: 200
"For Ms. Ziva David?"
"We’re here for Agent Dah-Veed."
"Are any of you Anthony DiNozzo?"
"That would be me."
"Agent David has named you her proxy in the event that she cannot make decisions. Perhaps, we can step away from the hallway, so I can discuss with you her present condition."
“Whatever you have to say doc, you can say in front of all of us.”
“Agent David was admitted with a penetrating head trauma due to a gunshot wound. CT scan shows that the bullet had entered through the left occipital region, in addition, there’s the presence of skull fracture and underlying cerebral contusions.”
“Skipping the medical mumble jumble, what are her chances doc?”
“While we can operate to debride the wound and repair the fracture, but because of the occipital lobe is responsible for sight, Agent David may not recover her full vision. However, my primary concern in speaking with you all, in particular, Agent Dinozzo is that there is a high risk for morbidity and mortality in brain injuries.”
“So best case, you operate and she comes out with only reduced visual loss and the worst case, she doesn’t. So, what happens now?”
“A decision, Agent Dinozzo.”
