He doubted that she would survive removal from the car, but they now had to try. He did a roadside blood typing and hooked her up to an IV of type O plasma. After an hour of jaws of life, reciprocating saws with diamond bits, they got Beatrice onto a stretcher and helicoptered her to a shock trauma unit. Needless to say the road was a huge back-up at 7:00 a.m. rush hour. At 7:30 a.m. she arrived at the shock trauma unit. She needed a transfusion, she lost both legs, the had massive bone damage, which would require surgery and her pet scan showed only slight brain activity. The doctors called her children and advised them that she was critical and that there was little hope and did they want the hospital to go to extraordinary means to save her life. Unaware of her estate planning views and with no Advanced Medical Directive, out of love and care for her, they ordered the doctors to try and save her life. After 10 hours of surgeries, she was still in critical condition.
