Although quick on her feet and well-trained for such scenarios, the nurse did not expect the punch. An overwhelming force connected with her stomach, sending her stumbling back into the railing and onto the floor. She gasped and winced at the resulting pain, but the woman still reacted with excellent precision. A hand shot up, waving to call for nearby assistance. The gesture summoned an orderly from the back of the vehicle, who gave up his attempts to pacify the lackluster noise and made his way toward the front.
Another patient, however, reached the problematic patient first and was already in the process of restraining Mr. Davidson. Here, both the nurse and the orderly took pause. Though appreciated, the assistance would prove more troublesome than helpful. It kept the orderly from properly subduing the out-of-control patient while exposing the well-intentioned patient to harm. Though she could not speak at the moment, the nurse frantically signaled for the female to take her seat.
On the other hand, the orderly was in a relatively focused state. Rather than yelling at the woman for her proximity, he took another route. "Miss, if you'll move to the side, I can takeover from here," he called.
