Maddie was having a quiet shift so far. She was currently reading her book in the ambulance bay, lost in the words of the Christmas romance novel she was reading.
All of a sudden, the alarm went off - signaling that there was a call for her to attend to. She jumped off her chair and ran towards the ambulance, glad the keys were close by. She was given the address over the radio and drove off, flicking on the lights and sirens so other drivers on the road would move out of the way.
From the call, it sounded like a car accident and that the firefighters were on their way - by the address she knew they would be there before her. She was lucky the other drivers on the road moved out of the way as soon as they saw or heard the lights so she arrived in record time.
Quickly finding a spot for the large vehicle, she jumped out of the driver's side before going around the back. Opening the back with one hand, she pulled the gurney and her kit out before running with both items towards the scene of the accident.
She turned to hear one of the firefighters talking to her. "Wow. I come to help you with the accident and this is the welcome I get?" Maddie knew most of the firemen by now, but she didn't recognize this one. "Someone called 999 and everyone gets called out to the scene. I thought they taught that at the Fire Academy." She raised her eyebrow and shook her head.
"You going to lead me to where I need to go or are you going to let this person suffer?" She didn't get much information from the call, but she was always prepared to deal with the worst case scenarios.
“I agree. It’s so nice to see everyone pitch in to make the Hospital run well.” Maddie was always happy to have a helping hand while she drove the ambulance. She was supposed to get a new coworker soon and she was looking forward to training her soon. The brunette went back to writing her incident report. “That’s honestly my favorite part of the job is bringing a woman in who is about to give birth. Much better than a car accident victim.” Though burn victims were the worst out of all of them. The smell of burning flesh alone made someone shake.
She nodded as she continued to write. “I do enjoy going into the nursery after a particularly stressful shift and go see if a newborn wants to be swaddled.” Maddie had to do that after helping rescue the victims from the fire at Blue Acres.
“The medical field keeps us on our toes for sure. I know I’m not looking forward to yet another set of first aid tests.” It was something she had to do every year as the Hospital wanted to make sure she was up to date on all her training. “I find it hard to figure out people’s names, though thankfully all the doctors and surgeons have name tags.” Maddie really only stuck to her corner of the hospital, unless she was bringing a patient in.
“Really? I hope a few of them stay. I hear I’m supposed to get someone to train on the ambulance soon, it would be nice to have the help.”
“That’s actually true. Seriously, I may also be in the medical field, but both of your specific professions need a stomach of steel.” Maddie pushed the thoughts out of her head - realizing that she was still eating her dinner. “Definitely earned my respect anyway.” Once her patients were handed off to the ER team, it was all out of her hands.
Maddie laughed. “I do wish we could pick. That’s not how our jobs work but we can dream right?” She continued to eat her dinner, scrapping the last few bites from the container. The woman set the container down on the table in front of her and attached the lid back on.
“Do you like moving around where you are needed, Quinn?” She was always curious with people who were able to move around the Hospital. They got to see how different parts worked and got to work with different teams.
The brunette nodded. “It keeps me on my toes. Somedays I swear I spend most of my time writing reports on the incidents and never get any sleep.” She tried her best to be diligent and thorough when writing her reports for her boss as it often was handed off to the police if needed. “Oh, that must be so cute with all the brand-new babies.” “I don’t tend to mingle either. Though it’s hard when I’m stuck by the ambulance bay.” She usually had a partner though that was working with her, so she did have someone to socialize with while on shift.
"Ugh. I think I'd rather take vomit over number two." Either was disgusting to her but it was all part of the job and not knowing what she was really in for when she got the call was part of the excitement.
She went back to writing her incident report - rubbing her temple when she couldn't remember a word. Once she remembered it, she went back to writing. "Oh, don't worry about it. It's nice to have someone to talk to about work."
The dark haired woman took a bite of gnocchi and broccoli after she picked up her fork. "It's become more and more of a problem lately." She had tried to get in contact with the police about it but she didn't have any evidence proving who was the one responsible. "Definitely going to have to ask for more in the ambulance."
She nodded at the sound of their names - Maddie was usually someone who was good with names and would try her best to remember. "Nice to meet you both. I'm on the EMS team so I usually drive the ambulance. And you?"
“Yikes, throwing up?” She had her fair share of different experiences helping patients with the ambulance but recently it had been people who had overdosed. “That’s not exactly pleasant break conversation.” Maddie laughed, she really didn’t mind. It was part of her profession and something she was used to by now. “For me I'm dealing mainly with overdoses tonight so lots of people are foaming at the mouth.” She picked up her fork and began eating.
She did her best to meal prep on her days off so she could keep up a healthy diet. It wasn’t like she had a boyfriend or anything to keep her in check - there were quite often days that she didn’t eat lunch depending on how busy it was at the hospital or at Blue Acres. “You are correct, it seems like when life is going well you want it to slow down but on a night like tonight I think we would all like it to fly by.”
“I’m Maddison, but Maddie is fine too. I think I’ve seen you two around before but it’s always nice to put a name to a face.” She smiled as she unscrewed the lid to her water bottle and took a sip. Maddie lowered her head slightly and went back to filling out an incident report for her last call - clicking the pen twice as she thought of her next words.
Maddison knew she had a long shift ahead of her yet. She had just dropped off a patient who had overdosed on drugs. The dark haired woman took her paperwork and headed to the break room. She stopped at the fridge and heated up her leftovers, having made a peanut chicken tray bake the night before. The woman sat down at an empty table, setting her folder on the table and pulling out a pen. After setting her large water bottle on the table as well, she got to work.
After running a hand through her hair, she heard the microwave beep nearby. She reluctantly got up and walked over to the microwave - pulling the food out of the appliance and walked back over. She saw that a blonde woman had sat down beside her and smiled. Maddison didn’t mind having company. Maddison went back to doing her paperwork, mixing around her food every now and then. “Hey there.” She tried her best to be friendly but the night was long and it often drained her.
It wasn’t long before another woman approached and it was someone Maddie had seen before. “I feel like I’ve been here for longer than normal. Only a few more hours though, right?” She was glad she wasn’t working in a large city like London, sure that there were more calls for them to respond to. “Feel free to have a seat, plenty of room for the three of us.” Maddie smiled, lowering her head again to read what she had written.
Maddison had been informed by the Hospital that she was to run the first aid tent at the fundraiser in town - in case there was an accident or someone had decided to sabotage the event. There were a few police officers there as well and they had set up their tent next door.
The brunette had gotten there first, spending her time setting up the cot that they had been given as a treatment area. She packed up three small first aid kits to give out to the others who volunteered with her. It was full all the essentials - so that most ailments could be treated outside of the tent.
Madison enjoys making friends too because it's just a part of her job. Working with people is a HUGE part of her job. As of right now she does not have any friends on the site. She is from Hickstead so I'm sure she knows quite a few people.
enemies
Street kids are not Maddie's best friends. She dislikes what they do to their bodies by using alcohol or drugs. So I'm sure she has quite a few of these as well.
lovers
The one man she has ever dated wasn't exactly the best experience. He was a Doctor at the local hospital and just kept flirting with her. She thought he was romantic and kind, until she found out he was married to another woman. Then the abuse started, he hit her and left several bruises and scars, leaving her crying and trapped after each day of work. She talked to her supervisor about it and the doctor got fired. This happened about a month ago, so Madison is not looking for a relationship at the moment. She is however slowly getting interested in @connor .

brief history: Maddison was planned by her family for about a year before she was actually born. They were expecting her to be a boy, so everything was basically blue in colour. When she was born, her two mothers were in total shock. It took them a while, since they had to make sure that their child wasn't switched at birth. Sophie was more happy about having a girl which rubbed off on Hannah. Maddison was raised in a rich family and was given pretty much anything she had asked for, the problem was she asked for nothing. Maddison worked hard at school and her various sports, deciding to go with volleyball until she finished University. Her love for horses came at a young age as well. She spent her summers in horse country, riding both English and Western during the summer camp she was sent to. The Stevenson family moved from the city, into the country when Madison was about ten. This is when she got her first pony and was riding crazy ever since. Maddison kept her good grades up throughout school, despite juggling her crazy schedule. She took an EMT course at the University and is now driving the ambulance. Recently, she got a job at Seven Oaks as a stable hand, to keep her connection with horses. Her two siblings Rochelle and Samantha were born a few years after Maddi was and also still live in Hickstead with their family. The one man she has ever dated wasn't exactly the best experience. He was a Doctor at the local hospital and just kept flirting with her. She thought he was romantic and kind, until she found out he was married to another woman. Then the abuse started, he hit her and left several bruises and scars, leaving her crying and trapped after each day of work. She talked to her supervisor about it and the doctor got fired. This happened about a month ago, so Madison is not looking for a relationship at the moment. [/font][/ul]

habits: snapping her fingers when she can't think of a word she is looking for, reading anatomy text books and fixing her hair.
overall personality: Maddison is usually kind hearted. She can be known to put up a fight but only as a last resort. She has a mean streak sometimes, usually towards the street kids. Maddie is helpful in all aspects and loves being able to help save lives. She is very family oriented and would do anything for them if they needed it in the blink of an eye. [/ul]
