Chapter 68: Saving a Life

Serena jumped up, tearing through the cabinets in the medical truck. “Serena, what is going on!?” Carson asked. “You’re driving too slow!” she snapped. “You focus on driving; I will focus on saving his life!”

Carson stopped pestering her with questions. She found the gravity blood infusion hand pump. It wasn’t perfect, but it would allow for an on-the-go blood transfusion. Logan needed blood or he wouldn’t make it the medical facility. “What is Logan’s blood type?” Serena asked. She tried to picture his medical chart in her mind, but if Carson knew the answer, she would get it faster. “I don’t know,” he said. Serena pulled the image into her mind. It hadn’t been that long since she had so meticulously looked over all medical files. Thankfully, the information was still in her mind. She pulled it forth. “B neg,” she said. “Are you a match?”

“No,” Carson said with a growl.

“Damn,” Serena muttered.

“What’s wrong?” Carson asked. “I’m a universal donor,” she said. “But it is risky to give him a transfusion with my blood while I’m his only attending physician.” “You’ve got to do whatever it takes to keep him alive, even if it only buys enough time to get him to the hospital,” Carson said. “I know,” Serena said. She rolled her sleeve up, putting a catheter in her own vein. She connected the other end of the gravity hand pump to one of the tubes in Logan’s arm. Taking a deep breath, Serena pulled the handle on the pump, drawing blood from her own arm with the gravitational force. It was slow to make its way over to Logan, but eventually, the tubes were filled and her blood was flowing into him. Serena felt a little light headed and faint, but she brushed off the feeling, watching the monitors to see Logan’s blood pressure and heart rate stabilizing. She double checked the wounds she’d stitched up to make sure that nothing was bleeding through Knowing she couldn’t give him a full transfusion of her own blood, Serena stopped when she thought she’d given him enough to at least stabilize him for the rest of the ride. She put a band aid on her own arm and got back to work, checking Logan’s eye reactions again and taking his temperature. He’d cooled down considerably, so she removed the ice packs and covered him in a
