Case: Kyla Washington

Meet Kyla Washington, a 16-year-old girl who lives in Riverbend City. Kyla is on the softball team at her high school and plays the trumpet in the marching band.

One day, Kyla is out driving around with friends, and a drunk driver hits their car on Kyla's side.

At the Hospital

Dr. Nathan Cartwright: All right, let's transfer her to the bed on my count...1, 2, 3! Okay. Pupil of the right eye is significantly dilated....let's check the other side...so is the left.

Joe Farnstock: Is she going to be all right?

Dr. Cartwright: We're going to do our best. How long has she been unconscious?

Joe Farnstock: Probably 15 minutes by now?

Dr. Cartwright: Nausea? Vomiting? Seizures?

Joe Farnstock: She did throw up in the car. I don't know about a seizure. I don't think so.

Dr. Cartwright: Did she say anything? Maybe how she felt?

Joe Farnstock: Just that she had a headache. I mean, I think that's what she said. She sounded all weird, like she was drunk or something. And she took a swing at me.

Dr. Cartwright: You mean she tried to punch you?

Joe Farnstock: Yeah! I mean, she missed by a mile. She couldn't move very well at all. She said her fingers felt funny.
