In reply to: LightStar 's message, "*lifts Carter's legs onto the stretcher*" on 13:20:51 08/07/01 Tue

She lowers Carter's torso onto the stretcher, wincing as the weight moves onto her leg. She releases him onto the platform and shakes her head.
"Not at the moment"
Rolling the stretcher into the cool room, she aligns it with a bed, and shifts him onto it. She shuts the door, blocking the unpleasant heat from outside, then collapses into a chair with a yawn. What a day... but it wasn't done yet.
Getting up reluctantly, she makes her way to a sink and washes her hands thouroughly. All she really needed to do was to patch up his head wound, the other injuries could wait, and she had no idea how to fix them anyway.
Rummaging about in one of the cuboards, she emerges with a bottle of alchol and a packet of swabs.

She unwrapps the crude, blood-stiffened bandage from his head, revealing bloodied curls, stained copper by the blood and dust. Swabbing the area with water first, the large gash is revealed and she winces slightly. He had certainly lost alot of blood. She soaks a few cotton pads with alchol and applies it to the wound, hearing the tell-tale fizz as the liquid seeped deep into the cut.
Casting a doubtful look at the suture material, she returns her gaze to the gash. Deciding it would be safer if she didn't try to stitch it up, she removes the pads, adds a few layers of dry ones and applies a temporary pressure bandage to it, stemming the flow of blood.
Having no idea what else she could do, she checks his pulse then pulls away, tired but relieved that that was over with..
