He then requested an ambulance, gave a description of her condition and said they would need an 'air medevac'. He then went over to Danielle and took over the pressure, gradually releasing it a finger at a time.

After re-watching several times,the call was disconnected, I am sure of it. You hear the emergency responder pick up the call and speak on the other end, Danielle mentions Albany, then there is the disconnect bleep, and then no more responder voice. Even as "John" is seemingly answering questions. Either the EMS (or whatever the British equivalent is) traced the call and came anyway, (They do here. I've lived it. Long story.) or Lucas called after she dies on his phone. He couldn't leave her laying there without running the risk of implicating himself further. She was known to be in his care.

I would agree that Danielle surviving that long after a hit to a vein in the neck is a bit implausible. Are there any doctors in the house who can tell me if it is possible survive a graze to the exterior jugular? It seems a small vein in comparison to the Interior Jugular which is on the other side of the neck.
