Oh, um, and four of Ancef. Sorry, I forgot the Ancef. Thank you... .
Mel! Mel, I need you to reassess, please, now.
Sylvia? Oh, Sylvia. Her pulse is weak and thready. She's, uh, bleeding out from her liver lac. I need O-neg!
O-neg's gone, honey. Gloria's got more flying in. Incident Command, what's the ETA on our blood?
[Incident Command relays it would take eight to ten minutes]
The patient's gonna have to get by with a liter of saline.
No, no, she needs blood, not crystalloid. Um, can she go to surgery?
All right, she's next to go, as soon as we get an open OR.
She's not gonna last that long -- Dr. Robby. Dr. Robby! Dr. Robby, we're out of O-neg, but I'm O-neg. Can I donate?
Gloria's got more blood flying in.
But I need it now.
What is our blood status?
Just used the last units of O-neg and O-pos. More flying in.
ETA?
Less than 10.
Some patients are not gonna last that long. And I'm sure there are other O-neg donors that probably work here, so...
It would take hours to screen for HIV and hepatitis.
Well, I have neither, and I donate all the time.
[Robby sighs]
Please.
Fuck it. If the patient's gonna die before they get to the OR, then the benefits outweigh the risks.
My man. All right, kid, roll up your sleeve I'll meet you in 7. Listen up. Central 7, 8, 9 is now the blood donor center. Anyone who's O-neg or O-pos, we need you to donate now. Hands where I can see them. OK, let's do this.
