Chapter 4 - Arriving At St Jude Memorial Hospital Emergency Room
The ambulance tires screeched as it backed into the ambulance bay of St. Jude Memorial Hospital.
Medical personnel swarmed the vehicle doors, wheeling Nathan’s gurney frantically down the brightly lit trauma corridor.
“Patient presents with severe hypothermia, profound bradycardia, and chemical stasis indicators,” the paramedic shouted over the noise.
Sarah and Ellie were halted at the heavy double doors of the emergency room by a burly security guard.
“Family members must wait in the designated consultation area down the hall, ma’am,” the guard stated firmly.
“That’s my husband! He just came back from the dead!” Sarah cried, her voice echoing off the sterile walls.
“All the more reason to let the doctors work,” a calm, authoritative voice interrupted from behind them.
Dr. Marcus Vance walked up, his white coat crisp and his expression unreadable behind wire-rimmed glasses.
“Dr. Vance? What are you doing here?” Sarah asked, recognizing Nathan’s chief medical researcher immediately.
“I received the emergency alert from the hospital network,” Marcus replied smoothly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
