Anna's Death

I can’t imagine pulling up to a car accident and finding your own daughter in the car.  As Brian pulls up to scene he sees a small BMW and a truck.  The two vehicles are in a t-bone formation that was caused by the nasty storm.  He finds out that there are three people injured.  Brian starts to climb over all of the debris in an attempt to get to the injured people inside the smashed BMW when he realizes that the face smashed up against the window is Anna’s.  Brian screams,”Get them out!”.  He lurches over to Anna and somehow finagled her out of the car.  He then straps onto to a backboard and loads her into the ambulance.  He realizes that Anna barely has a pulse.  On the way to the hospital he calls in the information of Anna over the radio and all of a sudden her heart flat-lines.  Brian gets the paddles and barely brings it back.  I would have never been able to act as swift as Brian did; I would have been frozen the whole time.

After Brian arrived at the hospital, he and were told that Anna’s brain injury had been fatal.  Anna was brain dead and not showing any signs of improvement.  The doctor says that there is a very small window for organ donation and asks if they wish to do so.  Anna’s parents say yes.  After it is taken from her they go into her room.  All the life has left her even though she is still technically alive.  The only thing keeping her alive is a respirator.  As soon as her parents turn it off, Sarah begins to cry.  Who wouldn't
