Jared had done his part to pull on the ropes and raise Mel up from the pit and place her on the stretcher.  Now he heard his name called even as he was moving to the side and leaned down over his patient.<br/><br/>"Mel," he called, already feeling over her skull and face, then down to her shoulders, arms, ribs.  "Mel, my name is Jared.  I'm a doctor.  What is your name?  Do you remember my name?"  He was asking her standard questions to measure the level of her disorientation.  He was going to ask her if she knew where she was, but he realized *he* didn't even know where they were, so that would have just been more confusing.  Her shivering already warned him that she might be hypothermic, and her skin felt cold to his touch.  In the dim light, he couldn't really look for blue lips or check for pupil response.<br/><br/>He wasn't detecting any broken bones from his quick exam.  He looked up to the others.  Some were engaged now in getting the other guy, the rescuer, out of the pit, and others were hanging around in concern.  "We need to get her out of these wet clothes and wrapped in dry blankets.  Her arms and hands too; the extremities are particularly vulnerable to heat loss and damage."<br/><br/>He felt his way down her legs and now gave particular attention to the ankle.  There was swelling, which he expected.  They'd have to deal with that, but he doubted they had ice on the island any more than they had hot water or x-rays.  Right now, warming up her body was a higher priority.  He felt through the swelling, knowing he was adding to her discomfort, but necessary to try and detect any serious breaks among the bones that made up the ankle joint.  The Ottawa exam didn't give him anything positive, so that was a good sign.  Perhaps immobilization and some kind of cold packs would do while she healed.  Of course, he wasn't likely to find any plaster for a cast, either.  The rescuer's splint was good enough for now, as long as they were careful getting her someplace dry.<br/><br/>"We need to keep the rain off her and get her out of it.  If you've got any way to boil water, that would be a good idea.  We need to get her body temperature up."  He looked around, waiting for her friends to strip and wrap her before they started traveling.<br/><br/>
