Doc was as equally confused as he was startled. He was stable, his fluids were up and only a short time before, he was drinking and eating.
"Nurse, get me a crash cart now!" Doc ordered.
"Mr. King, stand back," Doc ordered.
Cardiac arrest wasn't something that should even be considered for this patient. Doc began checking him. While the cart only took less than thirty seconds to arrive, it was an eternity. Jack's heart was defibing for no apparent reason and his breathing became shallow. He wasn't bleeding so it wasn't blood loss.
For a moment, Doc figured that King would be smiling. One less problem for him. He could delay saving him to fool him but that's not the oath he took nor would King leave without confirmation. The crash cart arrived and Doc did the only thing he knew, start saving another life.
"100 now!" he hollered, the nurse charging the unit with the paddles in he air. The charge ready, he placed them on Jack's bare chest and yelled, "Clear."
The jolt of electricity shot through Jack's chest from his upper right chest to the left side of his ribs as it passed through his defibbrilating heart as his body jumped from it. Looking at the EKG, he was still defibbing.
"Nurse, 200." Doc got ready to fire another charge.
