Chapter 8

Cristina: "Thank you." Callie hears as she comes out to the ambulance bay to see Owen tying Cristina's gown

Callie: "What do we got?"

Cristina: "Crush injuries."

Owen: "Couple minutes out."

Callie: "Where's Sky?" she asks having not seen the woman anywhere 

Owen: "She had a dentist apptointment this morning. She'll be back this afternoon." 

Cristina: "What do you know about Hahn?" she asks tying Callie's gown for her

Callie: "She's gone."

Cristina: "Yeah, but why?"

Callie: "I don't know."

Cristina: "You two are friends."

Callie: "I don't want to talk about it. I want blood and guts and mangled bones. I want a guy so smashed up it takes all day to fix. I want to rock a surgery. I don't want to talk about Hahn." she declares just as the ambulance pulls up

Paramedic: "Unidentified man with prolonged extrication time. Had to fish him out of a garbage truck. Multiple crush injuries, open fractures, GCS three, couldn't unhook him."

Owen: "Unhook him?"

Paramedic: "His femur's broken in half and is puncturing his torso. He's impaled." they bring him out the ambulance to see his bones twisted in on themselves

Cristina: "Impaled on himself?"

Callie: "Human pretzel. That'll do."

➿

Meredith: "Wow." she breathes in amazement when she comes in the room

Owen: "Check his popliteal pulse."

Cristina: "I'm getting nothing."

Callie: "Cause his knee's over here."

Cristina: "You think he was sleeping in the dumpster and they started crushing the trash?"

Meredith: "That's a bad day."

Sadie: "I'm here. What did I miss?"

Cristina: "It's your first day why don't you just stand back and shut up. Breath sounds are clear and equal. Both sides. Unbelievable."

Owen: "No punctured lung. We need a portable X-ray and an ultrasound."

Mark: "Someone page us?" he asks as himself and Derek come into the room

Owen: "I did."

Derek: "You did? That's a first."

Owen: "So's this" he motions to the patient as their eyes widen "I've seen guys cut in half, amputations, eviscerations, but I've never seen anything like this. I wondered if you could help."
➿
Callie: "His femur's in pieces. Except the part stuck in his torso. No way I'm saving that leg."

Mark: "Looks like the impaled piece is lodged under his clavicle."

Derek: "C-spine looks clear. Without a CT, it's hard to be sure."

Sadie: "Why can't we get a CT scan?"

Derek: "Way he's impaled, hard to get a clear reading."

Cristina: "You know there is such thing as a stupid question. Stand over there." she whisper yells at her

Callie: "Guys, guys, we have a very limited window here, okay? With vitals like these in a few hours..."

Meredith: "His body won't be able to withstand surgery."
