Chapter 2
In the Emergency medical care
The emergency ward at the city public hospital during this time of the night used to be mostly calm. Today was no exception. The doctors and nurses on the night duty were relaxing at their places in their respective wards. This hospital was one of the nearest hospital for Mandeville residents. It was a multispecialty hospital with almost all the medical facilities available under one roof.
When the ambulance carrying Patrick entered the hospital porch, Ursula jumped off in a hurry. The security guard and the hospital attendant put Patrick on the stretcher and swiftly moved him to the ground floor emergency checking room.
By this time Patrick was almost recovered from the shock and was feeling much better. He could sense that he has been in a hospital right now.
“Put the oxygen mask on the patient; connect the monitoring terminals “doctor at the emergency ward was instructing the nurse.
In next 5 minutes, Patrick was looking like a person with various gadgets attached to his body. Ursula was watching from outside the emergency room.
She could hear Patrick telling the doctor and the nurse that he is okay now and there is no need to do all this. However they were just following the standard emergency protocols.
“What is the pulse and Blood Pressure “Doctor?
“Normal sir 72 , 120/ 85 “ Nurse replied.
“Take an ECG “
Nurse carried the portable ECG and connected wires to Patrick’s body.
“It looks pretty normal “doctor declared.
“Take a random sugar sample “doctor tried another possibility
Nurse bought the Glucometer.
“Random Sugar 90 “Nurse replied
The reading was normal.
“Vital parameters are within normal” Doctor quipped.
“Hello is it Neurosurgery department “emergency ward doctor called the Neuro department.
“Who is on night duty today?
“Sir ,Dr.Nick is in charge today “ attendant replied
“Ok tell him, Dr. Ken from the emergency ward called on. There is a patient just admitted. Need to be checked for neuro “Dr.Ken instructed.
In next 5 minutes Dr.Nick from Neuro department was in the emergency ward.
He had a close look at Patrick. Patrick was fully normal by now. He told Dr.Nick that he is feeling fine.
“That is good but let me check “Dr.Nick replied.
“It is essential we check the basic vital parameters to be doubly sure” Dr.Nick told Patrick.
However he observed that Patrick’s face was pale and energy level was low. However from his experiences such symptoms are more due to stress and lifestyles rather than due to a disease.
Outside the ward Ursula was anxiously watching through the window. He saw Patrick talking to Dr.Nick. She was somewhat relieved. She thought it is not that much serious as she took initially. But again the situation of Patrick 45 minutes back in the home was so horrible that she was having no option but to call the emergency services.
Dr. Nick checked the vital parameters again. He took out the usual Neuro hammer kit. He tested hands, Legs, thumbs and toes. The response to the test was good.
He had a close examination of Patrick’s eyes. He asked him to look in different directions. Everything seemed ok.
“Are you feeling numbness in any part of the body?” Dr.Nick enquired
“No Doc… “Patrick replied
“ Do you have vomiting Sensation ?”
“ Nope “
“ Let us put him under observation for few hours more as a precaution. Prima facie nothing serious is there “Dr.Nick suggested to Dr. Ken
Dr.Ken nodded in affirmation.
“Does not look like an emergency case. Looks more like a panic attack “Dr. Ken shared his opinion.
“Correct nowadays patient with gas trouble come here rushing, claiming to have an heart attack “Dr. Nick joked to lighten the
