On call || Jackson and April.
Feeling a hand wrap around her forearm April looked down at the sight of the mans slightly burnt flesh. She could feel the glass that stuck out of his skin on her own arm making her move her it not watching to damage any nerves. It only took a moment for her to grab ahold of his hand lightly as her eyes glanced over towards the patient, stunned that he was actually calming down. April shook her head towards Jackson hearing his words, “It’s okay, I don’t have anywhere else to be” her eyes shifted up to Jackson’s with a reassuring look on her face. “I can help…” She added while she felt the patient’s hand go limp, a sign that the medication was finally kicking him making him fall unconscious. “There is so much glass, you’d be here all night” Her voice was hushed, knowing that there were patient’s all around them that were sleeping… or atleast trying to. She felt for her patient, she really did but she also knew it could be alot worse. And it very well could be all after the fact he wouldn’t calm down until the medication finally kicked in. “Accident.. he flipped his car. People were saying they got him out, and managed to put the flames out seconds before it was going to blow. I don’t know how true it is, but…” She finally answered his question seems so the patient had fallen unconscious. Her eyes were quickly pulled away from Jackson’s as she felt the woosh of wind from the intern rushing back with the debridement kit, along with everything that was needed to flush the wounds. Another intern came to her side putting the scans they had ran on the patient before April even got to the hospital. “Maybe we should move him to a more private area..” She glanced up at Jackson before removing her hands from the patient and slipping out of the curtain ripping her gloves off her hands all at the same time. Taking the scans from the interns hands she held them up to the light staring at them in shock, “Okay, thank you.. good job.” her head bobbed towards the intern before she pushed back through the curtains. “All he has are two broken ribs, and a broken ankle” She held the scans back up to the lights shaking her head in disbelief, “Lucky, orrr lucky?” her hand flashed the scans towards Jackson so he could see without taking his gloves off.
Jackson raised his eyebrows as he looked across at April, and couldn’t help the smile that crept across his face. The redhead was probably the most reliable and caring person he’d met, incredibly selfless, and that was one of the many things that Jackson admired about her. She didn’t have to be there, but because she had the time she was willing to give it up. Honestly, that was incredible, and Jackson was grateful. Having her help meant a lot, since it would definitely shorten the work. The patient finally calmed down - thankfully the medication had kicked in - because this was going to be an incredibly painful experience for him otherwise. The glass, the burns, there was so much to do and so much cleaning up to do before he could even think about skin grafts or contacting Mark regarding helping out this patient. “Thank you.” He smiled an nodded her way. “Yeah. I would, so I’m thankful you’re volunteering to help. Besides I trust you to do this smoothly. Unlike the interns.” He gave her a small grin. He listened as she explained the patients history. he was incredibly lucky that he’d gotten out of there - honestly his wounds were bad, but they weren’t unsalvageable. They could be cleaned up and things could certainly get better. “That’s incredible.” He shook his head, his eyes widening. Jackson grabbed the kit from the intern, and nodded, following April out. “Whoa. This guy, that’s so lucky, so so lucky.”
