City Island 949541, everything is happening at once in the middle of the runway. We’ve got another bird strike, so we’re having the runway inspected for debris, sir.

Medical emergency, copy that.
CITY ISLAND 949541
A medical emergency, I understand that.
ATC
Eurowings 396, Roger. Just not at the moment. We’ve had a few bird strikes, so we're trying to back up a bit. We have a medical emergency coming in, so that is the priority at the moment.
ATC
Eurowings 396, understood. I just can't let you go yet. We've had a few birds hit planes, so we're trying to space things out. We have a medical emergency coming in, and that is the top priority at the moment.
RESCUE 117
Rescue 117, vacating Echo 7, turning left Bravo 7. Hold short runway 10. I just need to possibly do another runway check. We have a medical emergency coming in, so we might need another quick run before that arrival.
RESCUE 117
Rescue 117, leaving the runway at Echo 7 and turning left onto taxiway Bravo 7. I'll stop and wait before crossing runway 10. I might need to do one more safety check on the runway; since there’s a medical emergency coming in, I should probably do one last quick sweep before that plane lands.
RESCUE 117
Copy Bravo 7, hold.
RESCUE 117
Rescue 117, understood. We will wait here at taxiway Bravo 7.
