Canaria Medical Center

[Doc Holliday]

In The O.R.:

Dr. Nagger was a couple of hours into surgery with Samantha and it only seemed to get more difficult by the minute. The team had trouble enough just getting her stabilized let alone addressing the miriad of injuries.
One problem they had was the onset of gang green in her right leg after the flesh had basically been burned off just below the hip leaving the bone exposed and broken. The long trip from where she came combined with the fact that her escape pod was shot up and decompressed and no medical care in the travel left a lot of room for infection.

After several failed attempts to save the leg, the order was given to amputate what was left. Still, the many internal injuries remained and severely burned flesh made it a very daunting task to get to them. The burns were of the 3rd degree variety and much of her flight suit was cooked to the flesh. It would be by far Doreen's biggest challenge of her young career.

Samantha's lungs were spared, having suffered damage from decompression. Other organs wouldn't be so lucky. Her spleen was ruptured and therefore removed. Her right kidney was severely bruised and just about every other one required at least one suture. Even after this emergency surgery was completed, her road to recovery would be long. Luck was already on her side in one way though....she was still alive.
