“Oh God!!! Marcie!” Marcie doesn’t reply nor does she move. Courtney turns off the water, runs outside for help. The officer was getting up off the floor the same time Courtney was coming out of Selma’s hospital room. “Sir, are you ok? I will have someone come by to look at you, don’t get up stay seated.”
ourtney made her way to the nurse’s station, the nurse looked up, “Oh Courtney, what in the world happened?” said the nurse.
“I was attacked by Calvin Taylor, Selma Taylor’s husband, please call hospital security and have them dispatch the police. I need to call down regarding my shift, I was supposed to report to work, what time is it?” Courtney sees the clock, “Oh no, I have been out for over 30 minutes? I also need someone to look at the officer outside Mrs. Taylor’s room and I need help getting Marcie Taylor to emergency for examination.”
The sixth floor nurse scrambles to meet the request and makes the necessary calls. A second nurse joins Courtney to check out the officer. Courtney heads back down to Marcie with a gown and blankets in hand to cover Marcie. When Courtney gets back to the room, the nurse behind her tends to the officer to identify his injuries. Courtney opens the door. Marcie is still in the bathroom lying in the shower.
“Marcie, I am going to take you to emergency to have you examined.” Marcie was still unresponsive. “Marcie, let me help you up, I have a gown for you to put on.” Marcie allowed Courtney to help her up, remove her clothing and put the gown and blanket around her.
Just then, John Cartwright arrived from emergency, “Hey Court, I have a wheelchair.”
“Thanks John, can you get me a plastic bag? I will need that for her clothes. Come on Marcie, let’s get you into the wheelchair, we will get you cleaned up.”
John comes back with the plastic bag, as Courtney is lifting Marcie; John places the plastic bag over the back of the wheel chair and proceeds to help Courtney get Marcie into the wheelchair. Just as John reaches out to Marcie, Marcie is like a wild boar, kicking and screaming. Marcie kicks John in his groin; she punches Courtney in her face. Courtney makes every effort to get Marcie to calm down, “John go out,” shouted Courtney. When John left the bathroom, Marcie calmed down and Courtney was able to get her into the wheelchair.
During all of this commotion, Selma never woke up. Courtney wheeled Marcie to emergency and called ahead, “Hello this is Nurse Courtney Thomas, I am coming down from the sixth floor and I have a possible rape victim.”
