Stan told Ray that when he got out, he'd have a great story to tell to pick up women.
After Stan said goodbye to his wife, Sara, they started to open the rig. However, Stan had them stop because he saw an oxygen regulator imbedded in Ray's back and knew he'd die if they moved him. They knew he had a cardiac tamponade, so they brought out everything they needed and planned to stabilize him in the ambulance before moving him. After he saw that Stan had died, Ray started to panic, but they told him he needed to remain still so he wouldn't do more damage. Meredith said she could crawl into the ambulance to do the pericardiocentesis. ("Crash Into Me, Part 1")
Meredith crawled into the ambulance and used an ultrasound to look at his heart. They had to get Erica Hahn to come out because the anatomy was messed up by him hanging upside down. They got ready to do the pericardiocentesis, but Ray stopped then because he was scared and he didn't want to die scared. They told him it was okay to be scared and then inserted the needle to remove the blood.
After he was stable, they pulled Ray out of the rig and took him into surgery. Despite a complication, Ray survived. Sara came to see him after surgery and was told that the hope was he'd be just fine. ("Crash Into Me, Part 2")
