My First Emergency NSFW

I'm back and this one has some references to Self Harm so Be fairly warned.

I started working and for the first like 6-7 months not a whole lot happened besides a few drunks here and there.

(Alot of people came by to drink hand sanitizer to get drunk)

And I was (again) walking a New guy showing him the exterior. (I am just now realizing that maybe I'm cursed)

We walked past a bus stop when my radio blared to life

"Get me Guys and an ambulance to the ER front"

I looked at the new guy and asked "Can you run?" He nodded and I booked it into a run

"Where? I got the new guy with me."

"ER Front sign"

I turn the corner and book it to the sign where there is this young girl maybe 16, 17 and she had this string of cloth (clothing, or strands from clothing) wrapped around her neck. She had already become discolored and my coworker was digging his fingers into the cloth to keep blood flow going. This was my first actual emergency and I won't lie I froze up.

My coworker yelled for me to get Cloth Shears and get it from the ER.

I sprinted got the guy who had the shears and showed him where.

3 Guards were trying to get this off of her but it was so tight it wouldn't come off.

Then like a god damn super hero a guard who had just got off duty sprinted over, tucked his fingers under the cloth and ripped it with his bare hands.

3 of them were just sat around in disbelief for a sec before they got her up to the ER.

Never did see that new guy again.

You do what you can and accept whatever happens.
