As Elle made her way back from the beach, the warmth of the sun still lingering on her skin, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness. The world around her began to blur and spin, her legs growing heavy with each step. She tried to steady herself, to push through the haze that was quickly overwhelming her, but it was no use. The last thing she saw before everything went dark was the shimmering ocean in the distance.
Elle crumpled to the ground, her body lying motionless on the sunlit path. It wasn't long before two male medics arrived at the scene. Their movements were swift and efficient, a practiced choreography of urgency and precision.
"Let's get her stabilized," one of them said, his voice calm but filled with the gravity of the situation. Both medics were clad in dark uniforms, their blue gloves standing out against the fabric as they quickly assessed her condition.
Without hesitation, one of them pulled out trauma shears and began to cut through Elle's pink vest, the fabric giving way easily as they worked to expose her chest. The bright color of the vest contrasted sharply with the pale skin beneath, now visible in the warm afternoon light.
"Pads ready," the second medic said, pulling out the AED. They applied the adhesive pads to her bare chest, one just below her collarbone and the other on her side, near her ribcage. The machine began its analysis, its robotic voice filling the air with instructions.
As the AED worked, the first medic wrapped a blood pressure cuff around Elle’s arm, inflating it to get a reading while his partner inserted an airway into her mouth to keep her airway open. He gently positioned it, careful not to cause any discomfort, while his colleague prepared the stethoscope.
The black stethoscope was placed against Elle’s chest, its cold diaphragm contrasting with the warmth of her skin. The medic listened intently, his brow furrowing in concentration as he tried to pick up any signs of life from her heart. There was a moment of stillness, the world around them fading into the background as they focused solely on Elle’s fragile heartbeat.
"She’s in V-fib," the medic with the stethoscope confirmed, his voice low but steady.
"Charging," the other medic responded, the AED beeping as it prepared to deliver a shock. The tension was palpable, every second stretching out as they waited for the machine to signal.
"Clear!" The command was sharp, both medics pulling back their hands as the AED delivered its jolt. Elle's body jerked violently, her chest arching off the ground for a brief moment before collapsing back down, still lifeless.
They paused, holding their breath as they waited to see if her heart would respond, if the shock would be enough to bring her back. The silence was heavy, the only sound being the rhythmic beep of the AED as it resumed its analysis.
What happens next?
