It was a dream of endless variations, but the theme was always the same: Steven was in some situation where Nurse Lake was necessary to him, where he had to be aware of her 1 One of the best was that Steven had been forced by gangsters to treat their leader, wounded in a gun duel with the police. The wounded gangster chief was carried to the car, and one of the gangsters took aim? at Steven and Nurse Lake from the other end of the house.
The first shot grazed? her leg, or her hand. It was not allowed to do more, because she must not be incapacitated.4 She had work to do. She fell back with closed eyes and heard the hum of the second bullet. There was a low moan from Steven and he fell near her. She opened her eyes. The gangsters
were gone. Steven was shot through the neck, bleeding to death from the carotid artery. Without wasting time Nurse Lake knelt behind Steven and put into practice the first-aid lessons which she had attended so carefully. This was the most difficult place of all to stop haemorrhage. The pressure point was against the back of the clavicle. You had to put your thumb into the hollow below the shoulder and press the artery forward against the bone until the bleeding ceased How long she knelt there she did not know. It seemed ages before the blood clotted enough for her to be able to release the pressure, fold her handkerchief over the wound and bandage it with the belt of her uniform coat. Steven, of course, was unconscious by this time, so she treated him for shock by covering him with her own coat and administered some morphia from the case he had brought to treat the gangster chief.
Luckily, there was some bottled blood left from the gang. ster, so she gave Steven a blood transfusion with the same apparatus. It would be better if she could run some blood straight in from one of her own veins, but she was not quite sure how this was done, nor whether it would be possible without assistance, and she never cheated in her stories.
