Re: Troy/Nell/Maura/Others
"The bullet did that," Maura replied, moving to clear the blood away from Travis' mouth so he wouldn't breathe it back in. "It's filling his chest, slowly suffocating him. It wasn't your fault, Troy. It just means we need to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible so I can repair the damage the bullet did."
Checking that the ET tubes would hold a bit longer, she went to retrieve the x-ray machine so they could get a clear, recent image of the current situation. Once they had it, she pointed to the small dark mass sitting at the bottom of Travis' lung. "If at all possible, I need you to get it through this hole here." She pointed to each feature as she spoke. "Nell, if you can keep it small and thin, adjusting the curvature as it moves, I think we can manage to get it out without adding to the damage already done. Once it's through there, it needs to follow this path here, see where it's a little darker through the muscle and tissue? That's the entry wound. Pass it through there and it should come up here, through the hole already in his chest. While time is crucial, I don't want you to rush. Take the time you need to do this right. We're only getting one shot at it. You ready?"
