Memories of an Eventful Night

A PHC Security incident report has been recently disinterred from the mists of time by historians. Names have been hidden to protect the innocent, the guilty, and the just plain stupid.

Incident Report
Officer [JC]

Type: Medical Incident
Location: Town Hall, Dorm 1 Basement
Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2005
Time: 2150 hours

Incident:
A called was received on the security line stating that someone had been stabbed during Eden Troupe play practice. Upon arriving at the scene I found [Macduff] lying on the ground with a bandage on his right thigh surrounded by about ten people. [Young Siward] had bandaged him up. Mr. [Macduff] was accidentally stabbed by [Macbeth] with what appeared to be an ornamental, 10-inch dagger. I called Mr. [H] who directed me to remove the bandage and survey the wound. Mr. [Macduff] removed the bandage and the wound looked to be about an inch deep (judging by the length the blood had traveled on the tip of the dagger), an inch in length, and a quarter to a third of an inch across. There was no visible external bleeding although I worried about internal bleeding. I directed freshman [Angus], who is a volunteer firefighter and has completed the EMS course First Responders, to re-bandage Mr. [Macduff] while I called Mr. [H] back. He directed me to call [DA] and arrange transport for Mr. [Macduff] to Cornwall Hospital. [DA] arrived and went to Dean [W]'s office with S/O [G], relieving officer. I was unable to call [CT], RA on duty for Dorm 5, so [the priest] agreed to go to the hospital with [Ross] (driver), [Macduff], [Mabel Chiltern], and [the priest]. The dagger with blood on the tip of it, Mr. [Macduff]'s bloody jeans, and the other exposed bandages and
gloves were put in bags and taken to the hospital with Mr. [Macduff]. There was no blood on the ground or chairs.
