Casualty through my eyes, for Lewis

A blow by blow account of Casualty, season 26, episode 4, Memory Games.

This is written for a specific friend, Lewis Godfray, on the 3/09/2011. Please do not be offended by any of the subject written in here, read a self help book and grow a pair, we are casualty nerds. The style may change as this goes on, I am very 'flitty' and can't stick with one theme for too long.

Good luck reading this if you aren't Lewis, and....GO!!! *Clicks to Play*

(Injokes will be in italics)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening titles play.

Opening scene, Dylan Keogh in an Ambulance jeep (nice pastel blue colour) on a sea-side setting, a more closed sea side, not busy, lots-a-rocks(-a). Nice day too. Apparently he was called out to a 'drowning man'... a man covered in mud, being dealt with by paramedics, and he is pissed off he was called out and nothing came of it, so he walks back to his jeep thing. Turns out not much of a sea-side, but a river type thing? The man jumped off the HUGE bridge behind him, I think. (peter jones probably dropped him)

We're 1:03 minutes in, by the way. Okay.

Now here's some people who are dressed as superheroes, doing a charity fundraiser, they're older people, not many, who are fundraising for the people who look after 'Warley Point' and there's a guy giving a speech to a journalist or two.

Now one woman's gone of the side, and a man has asked her if she's sure she's up for this, and she says she's fine...HONESTLY. She told him to stop fussing, he said: "You definitely haven't seen HIM" and she said not for days, and now they're off walking and singing and collecting money, and she told the man to go and get some sleep. How random!

Oh dear, is that man waving in the distance 'HIM'??

Cut to the same group in the forest some time later, still costumed and all, of course. She's trying to hurry them along, but they're singing it's a long way to Tipperary, as you do...THAT CREEPY DISTANCE MAN IS WITH THEM EEKKK

Cut's to the ED, typical chatter and phone ring... ahh the familiarity, and some homeless bearded man swigging on some alcoholic beverage of some kind,I think whiskey. AHAHAAAA

He's lecturing Charlie neck-spasm Fairehead, whilst standing on a chair, and Charlie is telling him it's not a hostel, or a pub, and BLEURGH said the subtitles, as he is sick allll over Charlie, followed by Jay hollering in the background >.<

decided im going to watch it and then do this... NAH..

Back to the forest, it's night time now, and STAN, leader of the group was singing, when his back crunched, not much of a superhero if you ask me, but you know, and he's asking woman to get him on his feet. He's in too much pain, so she calls an ambulance, she's not very confident, I tell ya.

Surprise surprise, there's no signal! She's got signal now, and she's panicky down the phone, when suddenly, creepy man appears out of the trees... oh dear..

Then to Zoe asleep in the on-call room, being awoken by Ruth with a knock on the door...because the ambulance has just gone out for a serious spinal injury, I presume (arrow word, to think to be true) the forest.

Now Dylan's checked his phone that beeped in his jeep thing, oh no, it's his pager! And said "oh you have GOT to be kidding me!" He turned his siren back on.

Cut to the forest, there's Zoe, the new paramedics and a spinal board all going on. Patient Stan can move his feet, his pulse is 80, his BP over 90. According to new paramedic man. Zoe has interesting glasses!

And Dylan's found Zoe and called her jumpsuit 'very Spandau Ballet' and she asked him what he's doing here, and apparently he's a BASICS volunteer, whatever that is. She thought it was funny, so it must be something silly and demeaning.

Something about having to do it, because nobody else will, and people getting into scrapes at stupid hours. He just asked her about her glasses. She didn't have time to put her lenses in, but Dylan was about to compliment them, apparently. Wierd. Oh, he wasn't... lol!

They've told Dylan who complained he could be at home in bed, that the organiser was pushing the group to fast, and then called her loopy and hyped up, so he's gone after her. And creepy distance man keeps appearing. She's running through the forest and slipped ¬¬ tusk. Got up and ran again, slipped stop, looked, saw Creepy Distance Man, or CDM, and is hyperventilating now.

So she ran and jump and just did the most AWESOME fall/roll through the muddy forest in the dark I have seen hahaaaa. We see CDM, or at least we think it is, through her eyes, blurred edges. He comes closer!! Oh and it's Dylan.

She's crawling away whimpering, and he's saying it's okay I'm a doctor bla bla bla. Oh she's hurt her leg very badly apparently. She fell 20 feet! woah. Dylan's code name is Tango 534 by the way.

Back to the ED, and new male nurse is asking Jay if they need to work out what's wrong with the drunk guy, a.... duh... Trying to waste resources I imagine. He's taking care of the drunk guy, though. Ivan, the drunk guy.

And in pops Zoe with Stan and the rest of the medical staff complimenting his singing voice. Noel's yawning, and made a comment about Zoe's glasses. Lol. And so has... whoever Davina Shackleton is in this thing.

Now Jay has given new male nurse the task of cleaning Ivan's leg... ew. OH GOD MAGGOTS. And the nurse was just sick. Oh he's called Lloyd, the nurse. Tess is annoyed.

Scarlett just shouted out for Jay, some dude with a cut on his face. And possibly other injuries. Getting him through to resus! wow, bigee! And Dixie just wheeled in a woman shouting about what's happening to her, she's called Rachel, and is on a trolley with the spinal stuff and all, I think.

OH wow cut face man has a wound to his chest and can't breathe. He has a collapsed lung apparently. And a shattered arm.

Rachel has a broken ankle, no sign of head trauma. This is the one being followed by CDM...she needs emergency leg surgery. Charlie's correcting Scarlett on thanking the doctor for medical info and advice, because she's just a shit nurse, really.

Okay chest, face, everything man is called Luke Mason, and he needs to call the police. He was getting mugged by the university, but he got stabbed. And he got himself to hospital, wow. A large NAIL in his chest. Attacked by a nail gun! Needs surgery, near his heart.

Rachel is talking with Scarlett about her stalker, he's been in her house, her bedroom apparently. The police aren't interested.

Now Lennie's been given an old woman (my pottery, the market gallery, crafty destinations, old lady) suffering severe abdo pain, by her night nursing home staff, so they sent her in. She made a living will, so that makes everything complicated ¬¬

Luke's x-ray showed the nail has gone a little way into the heart OH GOD wow... but not enough to cause a problem according to Ruth. Oh he had his appendix out recently...His wife Sandy is expecting twins, and he lives in cornwall... (And the twins will be Maria and Guiseppe)

Tess has called Jay away, to talk about Lloyd, whilst Lloyd takes Jay's place. Oh dear.

Lennie and Davina have old lady Shirley who doesn't want to be treated, but Lennie is annoyed because he needs to treat her. He's agreed to give her some pain meds. They're both from Scotland. Aaaw I like her, she's got no-one.

Stan's got some bruising. Now Zoe's trying to get money from Dylan...a pound, and he wants the change from the vending machine XD.

CDM just stroked Rachel's face and left before Dylan could tend to her screaming. She's taking chlopromazine to handle the fear.

Out of CDU, into the ED.

Jeff wants to know about the nail gun kid, so Jay relays the story.
Charlie tells Lennie that Shirley refused the bed, so she's going to die in cubicles, and Charlie is going to fill in more of Scarlett's competency form. She has to do some patients with interesting sounding technical names for probably disgusting things.

A man is discussing the incident with Luke, probably annoyed that he didn't get a good look at them. The man is a police officer... and his accent just changed when he lowered his voice.

Rachel's husband Matt has come through and security are confused now. Matt's just said the CDM only exists in her head.

Lloyds doing something to Luke, injecting him, and Jay says he is doing it incorrectly. Now Big Mac has come in to wish Luke good luck for his op. The whole staff are talking about how much a hero he is.

Mr Policeman is saying there is no witnesses, something's missing here about Nailgun Luke. I think he did it to himself or something... So, anyway, Ruth thinks he might have confused things in his shock, and now the previous hospital to treat him for his appendix has phoned.

She came off the phone seeming bemused, and she told Big Mac to do something instead of asking her if she's bemused, and just googled Luke Mason, Nail Gun Attack, to find... dun dun dun, the real deal on a news article.

Now Matt is relaying his wife's symptoms to Dylan, which sounds to me like PTSD, Night terrors and thinking where she is now is somewhere else... but Dylan's asking about brain scans. So she ended up seeing a psychiatrist. Apparently she'd hear children, and a cat and such things. Psych diagnosed anxiety and depression.

Matt said they don't have Children or cats, he's allergic, and Dylan asked whether he was allergic to children or cats, and there was an awkward silence.

She's hallucinating him right now! Oh dear. So now she's physically fighting him off, and Zoe has seen her, lol, she looks weird fighting him off when he's not really there. She fell off the bed trying to fight him, so now Dylan and Zoe are trying to help her.

Dylan wants the 'gormless' nurse to come and assist. He means Scarlett, naturally.

Now Luke is trying to brag everything. And Ruth went to send the nurse to find the policeman. Turns out he is replicating this Luke guy really, and is begging Ruth not to tell the police.

Dylan thinks Rachel has Lewy Body Dementia, whatever that is, Ruth's going to speak to the inspector.

Shirley (Lennie's old woman) is 'fading' according to Charlie. OH Davina's name in this is Linda. I know this because Noel just called her name out... wonder what he wants.

She went over and retrieved a bag, from Shirley's care home. Lennie's saddened by this case.

Dylan explains the syndrome he believes Rachel has, to her husband, Matt. Well it makes sense to everyone.

The nail gun man has done this before, compensation scam or something. Woah. Then it's Dylan and Zoe again. with the Dementia. Dylan's told her she can control her own hallucinations.

HOLY HELL. Lloyd went in to tell Luke he took back what he said, so Luke jumped on him and got a pair of scissors and is holding them against his neck. Jay's trying to talk him out of it, but Lloyd is still saying what he did was wrong. Silly Lloyd, I think he has a deathwish.

Now Luke can't breathe. So they've rushed him to theatre.

Rachel is making conversation with her hallucinated CDM, asking him what he wants.

Now we're in theatre with Luke... Eww, an ooze by the nail!

Rachel is trying to control him, lol he did it, he touched his nose when she asked him to!

Shirley's nearly gone. Lloyds fallen out with Jay. And Big Mac haves every single Eurovision winner and runner up, Dana International is his fav!!!

Stan is singing Shirley's dying song...

Matt is talking to Zoey about boring shit. Lennie's lighting candles, and introducing Stan. Oh Danny Boy.... Oh she died.... Wow.

And Jay just got one more chance for mentoring them.

Zoey and Dylan are going to be friends! Naww. AND NOW HE'S ADMITTING HIS ALCOHOLICNESS. That's what I thought. From day one. Or sort of.

That nail is fucking huge! Sorry for the language. Luke turns out, the first one was real, attack, and then he wanted more people saying he was a hero, he didn't care about the money... :S

Ruth told Luke he needs Psychiatric help, and he thanked her.

That was a boring night shift... bahaha... and Omar is going for a run, Big Mac, Lennie and Jay are going to get a breakfast...

LE FIN
