Animal Emergency Room
Description
Animal ER is a main emergency room where pets are brought in with a wide range of injuries and illnesses. They have specialist equipment ready to deal with anything from putting a rabbits leg into cast to a small amount of electric to restart a hamsters heart.
Dr. Steve Dooley – Young doctor mid 20’s, dark hair, good looking. Very eager to make a difference, treats animals like humans.
INT: ER ENTERANCE CORRIDOOR (Camera facing the door)
Entrance doors fly open as the (Vet) Paramedics wheel in a new patient.
INT: ER ENTERANCE CORRIDOOR (Camera moves to e ceiling view)
The bed flies past with just a small hamster in the middle.
INT: HOSPITAL SURGERY ROOM
Dr Dooley, Nurse Jones and Allan are in the room, they both hold onto the mini stretcher that the hamster is on ...
Dooley: one ... two ... three
They both lift the min stretcher onto a half sized bed, then Jones plugs the hamster in.
Camera shows the stats screen with a flat line, the hamster is dead.
Dr Dooley: Give me the stats Allan? (In a quick and important voice)
Allan: Name Scholesy, age 13 months, Diagnosis Cardiac arrest.
Dooley: Good god man we need to work fast pass me the paddles and set them to 12 volts.
Jones: Yes sir
Nurse Jones opens up a small box and there is a 12 volt and 24 volt battery, each attached with wires to two small paddles about 1cm wide. She passes the 12 volt set to Dooley. Dooley then licks them to check there is a current and places them near the chest of the hamster, then as he places the small paddles onto the hamsters’ chest...
Dooley: (shouting) CLEAR
Dooley repeats the sequence
Dooley: (shouting) CLEAR, (then in an upset voice) hold on Scholesy you can make it...
Dooley pushes Jones out of the way and opens up another small box, inside is a tube with a three inch diameter on one side and a 1 centimetre diameter on the other. Dooley places the 1 centimetre side in the hamsters’ mouth and then very slightly at the same time Dooley is using his little finger to massage the hamsters chest.
Then in the background there is a sound, beep beep beep. All of the staff turn to the screen. Everyone sighs with relief.
Dooley: (with a tear in his eye) oh Scholesy, you are a tough cookie.
Jones: Well done sir, you’re the master
Dooley stands proud with his head up.
Dooley: It’s times like this that make it all worth while, Jones.
Dooley: Allan, go and tell the owner of this little soldier that he lives, and will be back in a few days.
Allan: Yes Dr Dooley.
Dooley: Come Jones, we have much more work to do, many more lives to save.
