OOC: I couldn’t recall if the order had been given to transport the 4 crew that could be transported .. but will assume it has.
IC:

Four pillars of sparkling stars formed then coalesced into people. All were wearing EVA suits that looked more suited (pardon the pun) for a century back and each had seen better days. They had been well used, however, a careful eye could see that they had been very well maintained as well. One person was laying. One was kneeling nearby. One was standing close facing the two; the fourth was facing away. When the transport ended there was muffled speech.
“Vitals are dropping. Adren-4 not helping. Pulse is …” the person realized they were not on the shuttle at this point as did the others. They looked around in startled confusion, but for the one who was looking away. That person reached up calmly to release his helmet and take it off. A middle aged man of what might be Chinese descent was there, thin classic mustache and sharp tuft of a beard, thin, wiry features and balding pate looked impassively around until he caught the eye of someone.
“My daughter is dying. Please save her.”

Kaylee stepped up to gently wrap an arm around the middle aged man. As the order had been given to transport the crew members, she had raced to Sickbay in order to see if there was any assistance she could provide. While she had little medical training, the situation was emotionally charged and she hoped to be able to support the Sickbay staff in their efforts.

“If you could come over here with me, sir, we’ll give the doctors room to work,” she gently ordered.

Lt Cmdr Adrie, CNS

The man responded a tad slower than what might be normal. He did, however move when coaxed. The Counselor would note that his pupils were not quite even. “Work, yes,” he said, his accent distinctly with a Chinese tone.

“Thank you Counselor” Buckingham said appreciatively.

Tom produced his Medical Tricorder from his pocket and moved towards the freshly transported group.
Tom addressed the person who was standing. “What’s the situation here?” He asked calmly. Any information that could be provided would help determine how best to begin to treat these people.

The man kneeling was carefully removing the EVA helmet. Dark hair flowed out. The girl was again evidently Chinese, though very pale and her lips tinted blue. She didn’t look to be breathing, or if she was it was very faint. “She took a very hard jolt in the crash,” the man standing explained. His tone also was Chinese, and thick with emotion.

Buckingham knelt with the two and watched as the information appeared on the Tricorder screen.

Scans would show that her respiration was extremely low, her heart beat failing. The principle injury was that her lung had been punctured by a broken rib. On the right side she had two broken ribs and two others cracked. Fortunately there was no further internal injury, though the side was seriously going to be bruised.

As soon as the information appeared on the screen Tom had begun thinking of his course of action. The girl’s complexion, blue lips and low respiration were most likely the result of the punctured lung, which would be what Tom would look to treat first, after having increased and stabilized the girl’s heart rate. The size of the puncture in the Lung and if the Lung had begun to collapse or not would determine if the girl would need to be treated surgically.

The broken and cracked ribs could easily be mended with the use of a Osteogenic stimulator, which could be performed by a Medic or Nurse.

“Nurse!” Tom called to attract the attention of an NE Nurse. NE Nurse Warick appeared by his side. “I need this lady moving onto a Biobed, as carefully as possible please. I’m also going to need her on a Pulmonary Support Unit as soon as possible.” Tom hoped that the use of a Pulmonary Support Unit would improve the girls failing heart rate. “If you need help with that, get the assistance of a Medic or a Cadet.” He added. “I’m also going to need a Osteogenic stimulator please.”

NE Nurse Warick set to her work and Tom stood up and made his way over to the side of the room where he drew up a 2ml Hypospray of Terakine. He also prepared a Hypo of Anesthezine and one of Dexalin. He made his way over to the Biobed that the girl had been placed upon and gently administered the Hypo of Terakine. Tom would wait before even thinking about putting the girl under, as at the moment her heart rate was not strong enough to safely do so.

Once she was up on a biobed the status would immediately show with dropping vitals and readings not looking good. The PSU arched into place surrounding her torso and, as soon as it took over, the readings grayed out - those that were her real readings and overlaid by what the unit was doing. Her heart was supported and certain vitals rose, though it was evident that she was going to require surgery; the internal bleeding around the lung was more significant than the initial scan had suggested.

Buckingham stood for a brief moment and watched as the PSU stabilized the girls condition. He was going to have to operate. It would be he first operation aboard the Endy, but he remained calm and unfazed.
He spoke to NE Nurse Warick. “Nurse, I’m going to have to operate. I’d like you to help me. It should be a fairly simple procedure. I’ll open up, use an Auto-Suture to close the puncture in the Lung. Whilst I’m in, I’ll use the Osteogenic stimulator to repair the broken ribs.” Tom explained.
“I’d like to do this as quickly as possible, I believe her condition is too fragile to keep sedated for too long.” He continued.
He has run his method past NE Nurse Warick in order to ensure that everything sounded amenable.

The preparations began and soon the moment for the operation was at hand. The fortunate part about the advanced medical technology was that she was able to be sustained artificially for quite some time, though in this case, one wouldn’t want to leave it too long ..
