Knife To Meet You

The police where scattered about like ants on a sugar cube. I gazed through the window of the ambulance as we slowly crawled into what looked like a murder scene. As I stepped out of the ambulance and into the thick of it, I noticed the first policemen who caught my eye. His face looked as if it was painted green and sweat was perspiring out of his pores generously. I didn't understand exactly why I was called to this location, but I could tell from the policeman's face he had seen something disturbing. I asked him if it was safe to continue further into the chaos, he just nodded his head. I continued walking past him and eventually encountered several other police officers who kept ushering me through halls until I reached a room next to a kitchen. It was here I caught my first glimpse of the problem I was called for. Upon entering the room I found a young lady with a knife impaled into her abdomen. The shiny stainless steel blade glimmered in the fluorescent tube lighting above our heads. The knife was a professional kitchen blade. The handle was dark polymer and sturdy, it continued for a few inches before it abruptly transitioned into the cold blue steel cutting edge, which continued on for a couple inches and disappeared deep into the girls stomach area. Dark red blood was slowly oozing from around the blade as it stuck in her body like a harpoon. I wasn't exactly sure how long the blade was and how much damage it had done. We placed 1 large bandage on each side of the blade, then wrapped some gauze around her stomach, stabilizing it securely in place. We carefully moved the girl and transported her to the hospital.Upon entering the doors of the emergency department we were greeted by  a crowed of shocked and astounded nurses who seemed quite displeased with the present we had brought them. The on duty doctor did an ultrasound (fast exam) and found that luckily the girl had missed any major vessels and had no major bleeding internally. She did however, need some surgery to repair minor damage but should make a good recovery.
