The Assailant
“Four people were brought in by ambulance, two by their own vehicles. The two that drove themselves weren’t particularly injured but were seeking documentation to strengthen a lawsuit. The ER staff was used to such things. Three of the people brought by ambulance had legitimate injuries, one of them requiring sutures to the forehead and one with a dislocated shoulder.
Helen Krans attended the dislocated shoulder. A young man of about twenty-five, shot up with morphine so that he wouldn’t feel to...o much pain, but his arm was still out of the socket. Helen and a nurse wrapped a sheet around his torso and then another nurse held the sheet tight on one side as Helen tugged on his arm on the other side. It took three good tugs—the guy crying out groggily during this—but the arm went back in on the third try and everyone seemed to feel better.
Helen went on break after that. She took the stairs down to the back entrance of the hospital, passed a couple of paramedics by an ambulance, and lit a cigarette.MoreLess
