Chest Tube Tray

Sterile steel tray crashes into the G.W. hallway maelstrom, loaded with scalpels glinting sharp, forceps poised, and coiled tubing ready to pierce Josh's ravaged chest—no exit wound, lung collapsing in bloody froth. Nurses snatch it mid-sprint toward Trauma One as paramedics stabilize the shuddering gurney; C.J. shrieks raw horror, Leo and Gina transfixed while sirens wail the shift from manhunt shadows to gunshot desperation.
