Dira, John, and the medic materialized in the Infirmary and the medical team there leapt into action. They moved John to a surgical bed, knowing he’d need some sort of extra intervention in the very least. The team immediately began assessing his vitals and the extent of his injuries.

Dira stepped back and tapped her commbadge, ignoring he blood that was all over hands currently. =/\=Myqian to Ogawa I’m on the Outpost in the Infirmary with Lieutenant McCandless. He’s been stabbed. Their medical team is working on him, but it would be good to have someone from our team beam over with John’s medical history they might not have here. Lieutenant Sutret is on the scene with Security. Have Commander Haven coordinate with them for the investigation.=/\= She exuded calm but only because she was so highly trained and had been in enough crises.

OOC: Someone(s) from med can jump in here.

Bump

Lucky for McCandles Alexis was still on duty. Before the comm closed she had the new Head Nurse’s medical history on a PaDD and was materializing through emergency transport in front of Dira. “Where is he?” She asked without stopping. Her eyes scanned the area, spotted him and walked over. She didn’t say excuse me or please. She handed off his file while she let the scrubbers clean her hands. Then she just started issuing orders for medications and equipment as she read the readings on the displays.

Lt. Cmdr. Kane, AMO

The readings weren’t great. He had lost a lot of blood, his blood pressure was very low as a result, he was bleeding from his chest and lower torso. He looked deathly pale and it was some sort of miracle that he was still conscious. He groaned from the floor, breathing hard. He looked up to Dira and then over to Alexis. He finally relaxed. She would save him.

He had been moved to a biobed so Dira stepped out of the way so she wasn’t interfering. “Best we know Sutret was on the scene soon after but not sure of the total elapsed time,” she told Alexis.

“We have you,” she called over to John, her telepathy honed in on him while he was still conscious.

Captain Myqian, CO

Quiet and stoic, two security officers from the USS Ogawa took positions near the door of the portion of the Infirmary where McCandless lay prone being tended by a plethora of doctors and nurses in an attempt to save his life. Both had extensive medical training and were watching the proceedings with a keen eye. There was no indication that this was random or personal. Zoi had erred on the side of caution and made sure there were security present close enough to intercede should they have to. They were there for the Lieutenants protection but they stayed far enough away from the actions of the doctors and nurses that they were not a hindrance to their work.

Zoi had already spoken to the head of the Infirmary to make sure Ogawa doctors and nurses would have priority access to work on McCandless and to get permission for the security personnel to be present. It hadn’t taken much, she silently thanked the gods. She trusted the two she had placed on the victim, to watch over him and his recovery. Her job was elsewhere on the station and to that, she now attended.

Haven, CoS

“Engage cardio-pulminary support. Terran blood type AB-, push 1g cefazolin by hypo. High push plasma infusion unit. Begin depriding the wounds,” Alexis ordered as she stepped through the surgical scrubber and came out in surgical reds. One nurse was doing as ordered the rest were looking around as if asking were they supposed to listen. “You can do as ordered or I’ll have you removed.” She stepped up to the surgical frame and bent over the microscopic viewer and gave the staff no more notice. The wounds were severe and were going to need a lot of fine intense attention. After engaging the drechtal beams to stop his pain, Alexis started by clamping off the severed arteries to stop him from losing blood. Both wounds were severe and needed immediate attention. She couldn’t do both at the same time. “I need a second surgeon. If you can’t find one, get Kane,” she tossed out to Myqian. Moving her fingers over the controls for the autosuture she began to repair the damaged arteries and veins in his abdomen.

Lt. Cmdr. Kane, AMO

For John, one moment he was awake and the next he was under the influence of the anaesthesia and the world went black. The staff rushed in to action at the curt tone of Alexis. The clamps worked and stemmed the flow of blood and prevented John from losing anymore, something he couldn’t afford at the moment. This was going to take time, the extent of the damage was severe, Alexis had a long few hours ahead.

Lt. John McCandless, Head Nurse

Drake came into the infirmary. He had gotten a call that they needed a surgeon there. He carried a set of surgical tools with him. He called in to the people gathered “Ogawa crew? Traumatic injury?” After a second, he spotted Alexis and strode over to her.

-Lt Cmdr Drake Marshall, M.D.

“Two puncture wounds to lower trunk and mid thorax. Hemorrhaging has caused hypovolemic shock and hypotension. Pressure infusion started, arteries clamped.” Alexis was glad to hear Marshall. He could be arrogant, but he’d earned it. He was an exceptional surgeon. “Which wound do you want, Dr.?”

Lt. Cmdr. Kane, AMO

Drake looked it all over for a second and then said “I’ll take the thorax, you take the trunk?” He unpacked his surgical kit and sterilized his hands.

-Lt Cmdr Drake Marshall, M.D.

Alexis nodded, and stepped down two steps, “Autosuture,” and held her hand out to the nearby nurse as she put her eyes to the view screen looking for any broken pieces of whatever was used to stab McCandless. Then she had to clear the wound so she could see to begin the suture process - arteries first.

Lt. Cmdr. Kane, AMO

The nurse nodded and handed Alexis the auto suture. Fortunately the wound was clear of broken pieces, it looked like whatever had been used had been a sharpened blade. It had done a lot of damage the arteries would need to be repaired, the damage was deep but fortunately this particular wound had missed his intestines.

Lt. John McCandless (Head Nurse)

Drake set to work tending to the wound. Though it was raising a question in his mind, which he did eventually have to voice. “How did this happen? I only know I was paged to an emergency surgery.” He figured someone in the room would have the whole story on how the Head Nurse ended up in this state.

-Lt Cmdr Drake Marshall, M.D.

“Take a forensic scan of the wounds for security,” Alexis told the nurse. A 3D rendering of the wound would allow security to match the weapon. Alexis didn’t know how it happened, that wasn’t her job, so she didn’t answer Drake. Instead she focused on the patient in front of her. The intestines had been spared at least. Alexis focused on closing up the arteries. Blood flow had to resume quickly or risk losing tissue.
