I’m trying to find a gif set and I figured you’d be a good place to go. It has a guy walking by a water fountain that is outside. I think he’s on the run and he might be hurt

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi nonny. Unfortunately nothing comes immediately to mind. Do you have any more details?

Or does this trigger a memory for any of my lovely followers?

Have you seen this video? It's from "The Fall" 03. 01 If you can't see this.

I want to ask that what do you think about this scene. Are medical teams realy like this in hospitals? Are they using right drugs in this scene? How they can know what is wrong with them. Also, can you explain about these drugs that they are using.

I could have sworn I'd done this before, but I couldn't find it, so here goes:

It's really accurate. The protocols are a little different in the US than in Northern Ireland, but everything really checks out. Hospitals do have teams dedicated to traumas (they might be specifically dedicated to trauma that day or just assigned to trauma that day along with their other rooms depending on how much trauma an emergency department typically gets).

They're doing a bunch of different things to determine what is wrong with him. For one, they know that he was shot twice because the paramedics (and likely someone at the scene) said so. Note that they check that is accurate by turning him over and seeing if there are any other holes in him.

There's a lot of blood involved so they can assume blood loss, even if there's no way to really quantify it.

They know his heart is working correctly because they are both hearing sounds 1 and 2 (the "lub" and "dub" sounds normally heard in a healthy heart) and he is on a heart monitor (which is recording the electrical activity in his heart). They also know his blood pressure is too low to measure (and then later they can only get the top number).

They do an ultrasound of his lungs to make sure there are no pneumothoracies. They notice he isn't breathing well likely by listening to and counting his breaths. They know the intubation went in the right place (the lungs instead of the esophagus) because they listen to both lungs and are getting CO2 out of the tube.

We don't see a whole lot else directly done in the trauma bay, but they do notice in surgery that he's bleeding from his spleen just by looking and feeling.

As for the drugs: They picked the drugs before he got there because they're all standard drugs to use a trauma or code situation. So they just have them all ready to go.

Saline: a mix of water and salt that helps increase blood volume due to dehydration or blood loss

Tranexemic Acid: A drug that helps blood clot

Ketamine: a dissociative anesthetic (used because unlike other anesthetics it typically doesn't cause problems with breathing)

Sux (suxamethonium): a paralytic drug used in intubations and general anesthesia

Phenylephrine and ephedrine: drugs that makes blood vessels smaller which increases blood pressure

Atropine: drug that increases heart rate during a code

Epi (epinephrine): a drug used both to make blood vessels smaller to increase blood pressure and to change a bad heart rhythm into a better one during a code

Glycopyrrolate: a drug used to dry up secretions before intubation

FFP (fresh frozen plasma): a blood product full of clotting factors which helps blood clot

Platelets: another blood product that contains another thing that helps blood clot

AO3 filters are incredible. The show ended over a decade ago but you're only getting around to watching it now, and you want to avoid spoilers for later seasons? No worries; you can filter out anything posted/updated after a given air date. Don't want to see crossovers? Guess what -- you don't have to. Three clicks is all it takes to make them go away. ONLY want crossovers? They've got that option, too. In a hurry and only have a few minutes to read? Filter out everything over whatever word count you consider to be "too long." Absolutely can't stand this one character/trope/relationship? Exclude, exclude, exclude. And all they ask in return is that you tag your stuff properly. Incredible.

If you haven't seen the filters before, you might be finding fics via searching. Search is great (and you can get *really* specific with it), but it doesn't have the quick filter menu.

Tap on a tag you're interested in reading (just at the top of a fic, for example). That will bring you to a results page that shows every fic that uses that tag. To get rid of the ones you don't want, look right above the works list to the buttons and tap on Filters. (if you're on a computer, the filters will already be there, on the right hand side of your screen).

Once you've found the filter menu, it's like the OP said. There are a *lot* of options for you to choose from. You can tap on any of them to open up a sub menu with specifics.

For relationship/character/trope tags, AO3 will automatically show you the top ten most-tagged ones within the tag you're already looking at. If the one you want to exclude isn't in that list, you can type it into the "Other tags to exclude" box and AO3 will give you a dropdown to pick from. You can add a theoretically unlimited number of tags to your exclude list, but I think it's possible to have a list that breaks things eventually. I've never personally hit it? But I bet someone out there has.

You can also Include things you want to guarantee are tagged, but be careful with that filter. Include filters stack on top of each other, so if you Include 3 different tags, you'll only get fics that have all three of them tagged. You won't get ones that have*any* of them tagged. For more info on how to do an "any of these tags" filter, see this post over here.

Also just for funsies, here is a playlist of all the songs with titles or lyrics I've used as fic titles!

whumpee propped up against caretaker’s chest when the fever takes away all of their strength, lucid enough to enjoy some company

whumpee propped up against the pillows, eager to be active but unable to move around all that much; perhaps tomorrow they’ll be able to sit properly, at least

whumpee leaning on caretaker’s shoulder when they try to get up and walk for the first time since the injury

whumpee held up in a saddle, caretaker sitting behind them with their arm wrapped protectively around whumpee’s chest

whumpee sitting at the backseat of a car, their head pressed to the cool glass; they’re still shivering but caretaker’s coat’s warm and cozy, it feels like home, and they can’t help but relax

whumpee leaning on the table, eyes closed and breaths shaky, when a sudden fainting spell washes over them

whumpee sitting on the ground with their back against the wall, too weak to get up while the adrenaline wears off

hidden injury is great, but a subversion that gives me so many whumperflies is when Whumpee is injured, it's a bad injury, and the team knows this. but they can't stop. they've got a mission to complete, they have to keep moving, they can't be spotted, et cetera. the brawn supports whumpee's weight, the medic is tracking their vitals with quick glances and questions, the leader is forging onward to get to safety as soon as possible. all while Whumpee doesn't hide the pain, but takes it with grim determination. they have to keep going. they have to. they will.

How the fuck have I not heard about slow horses at all before?

It's such a good fucking show and somehow it's got four seasons alla six episodes and a fifth season is coming out at some point this year probably and I've never even seen any gifs or anyone talking about it in the whump parts I'm around which is such a shame because it's so fucking great
