Working as fast as he safely could, Gerard began carefully removing the trapped plastic packaging from her digestive system. Each piece had to be gently loosened from the inflamed tissue using small medical tools. The swallowed trash had caused severe swelling throughout her midsection, finally explaining the weeks of terrible pain and weakness that Lola had been forced to endure.
As he worked, Lola’s heart rate began to jump nervously on the monitor screen. Gerard paused for a short moment, letting the team stabilize her before he carefully finished clearing the blockage. Piece after piece of swallowed packaging was lifted out, while Gerard constantly checked her surrounding internal tissues to ensure no sharp edges had caused permanent structural harm.
