"um, mum?""yes sweetheart?" she says, sounding worried."something hurts.""what is it?""my chest. it's getting tighter and sorer by the second, ow. okay. i don't like this!""nick!""yeah. i'm looking!" it's not enough, i moan in pain. my chest is really sore, i'm near screaming in agony. i can't work out what

ought this on!"amy, have you got any allergies, problems, medical things i should know about?""i wouldn't know even if i did nick! please, help, it's, argh! it's getting worse!""get her hooked up nick!" zoe screams"i am!" he starts attaching me to the monitor. "oh god.""what, what is it!" cries zoe."her pulse just sky rocketed!""i'm gonna be sick!" nick hands me a cardboard bed-pan just in time."what's causing this?" it's starting to get hard to

eath. i'm practically panting but i feel like i'm getting no where."get and oxygen mask on her!" nick shouts at the nurse."yep!""mum i feel... really dizzy...""but you haven't had anything! only the... nick! she has to be allergic to morphine! she's showing all of the symptoms!""okay, we have to act quickly, now!" nick screams. before i know it, i'm being given steroids and more adrenaline. the chest pain dies down and, after about half an hour, nick confirms that,"pulse is returning to normal.""well, as if we hadn't had enough drama for one day!" zoe says, smiling at me."yes, okay, i'm going to call adam in here to help with this leg.""get an ultrasound too." zoe says."yep." nick walks out, i turn back to zoe."why do i need an ultrasound?" i ask her."so they can see what they're doing and lower their chances of accidentally clipping that artery.""okay. what happens if they do clip it?""well, blood pressure in the arteries is high, the femoral artery has very high blood pressure. you'd bleed out, fast. they'd have to clip and tie off the artery off in a matter of seconds. relax, nick knows what he's doing, surgery is his speciality. i promise.""yeah." i feel rather sick, but it's okay because at least zoe and nick will be there. nick and adam walk in the door, adam has an ultrasound with him. behind them are two nurses, they immediately go and prepare the necessary equipment."okay, amy, we're going to put you under now.""okay." i look at zoe."relax, you're fine." i nod.
