Chapter 7 - Emergency Medical Care
Sirens wailed loudly in the distance three minutes later.
Red and blue emergency lights flashed through study windows.
An ambulance pulled into our circular driveway at speed.
Two police cruisers stopped right behind the medical unit.
Paramedics rushed into the mansion foyer carrying medical kits.
A female paramedic named Sarah ran into my study.
"Where is the pregnant patient?" Paramedic Sarah asked.
"She is right here! She is eight months pregnant!"
I knelt beside Elena, supporting her trembling back frame.
Elena groaned in pain, clutching her round pregnant belly.
"The contractions are coming every sixty seconds, Doctor!"
Paramedic Sarah checked Elena's pulse and blood pressure fast.
Her face went grave as she looked up at me.
"Her blood pressure is dangerously high from severe stress!"
"We need to transport her to trauma care immediately!"
They brought a rolling gurney stretcher into the room.
They carefully lifted Elena onto the soft padded mattress.
They strapped her body down securely with warm blankets.
They hooked up a portable fetal heart monitor unit.
The rapid, steady beating sound filled the quiet study.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, echoed across the room.
"Baby's heart rate is elevated, but stable," Sarah.
I let out a long, ragged breath of relief.
"I am riding in the ambulance with my wife!"
Margaret stood up from the sofa, putting on mask.
She tried to walk toward the paramedics with tears.
"Oh, my poor daughter-in-law!" Margaret cried out fake.
"I was taking care of her all afternoon long!"
"She collapsed suddenly from her weak physical health!"
Officer Davis stepped in front of Margaret, blocking path.
He held a black notebook and official radio device.
"Mrs. Margaret Carter, stay right where you are."
"We received a secondary report of domestic physical abuse."
"Officer, that is a complete lie!" Margaret shrieked out.
"My son Daniel is mentally unstable and lying today!"
Officer Davis looked at my calm, composed face.
