With the arrival of rescue forces, the dilemma at the scene became how to treat the injured who had been rescued. This pressure fell entirely on the heads of medical staff.
Treating the injured is far more difficult than simply removing people from the disaster scene.
It was midnight on the first day of the disaster, and the situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine had not changed much.
Ambulances cannot come in, making it difficult to transport seriously injured patients.
Some villagers could not wait and wanted to carry their loved ones on stretchers to the city hospital on foot. Some villagers chose to trust the doctors on site and continued to wait for the doctor's professional instructions.
What doctors think about this matter.
When Dr. Gu Hongnian slowly opened his eyelids, he seemed to hear his companions discussing his injury.
"According to Dr. Song's judgment." Professor Pei, the eldest leader of the team, organized this on-site medical meeting and took notes while summarizing the doctors' speeches. "Dr. Gu's head injury was relatively serious, resulting in a temporary coma. , there may be a brief period of awakening in the middle, but it does not mean it is a good thing. It is urgent to be sent to a qualified hospital for examination and surgery."
Dr. Zhao Zhaowei has a frown on his face. Now everyone has appointed him as the triage officer, which means he is the one who puts red stripes, yellow stripes and green strips on the injured.
Thinking of putting red stripes on his classmates, Dr. Zhao put his hands underneath and trembled violently.
Dr. Gu Hongnian took advantage of the time when everyone said he would be awake for a short period of time. He tried his best to look around with the corner of his eye, and soon saw Dr. Xiao Yang sleeping next door to him.
Dr. Xiao Yang’s situation was reported by Dr. Duan.
After a second physical examination, Dr. Duan Sanbao believed that Dr. Xiao had a stress ulcer, and the previous vomiting had shown he had gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding.
The causes of stress ulcers are diverse. It cannot be ruled out that Dr. Xiao Yang’s intra-abdominal organ bleeding, which did not show symptoms during the previous injury, gradually became serious and appeared later.
Dr. Zhao Zhaowei’s hands shook to the point of his feet. This was when he wanted to put a red stripe on his second teammate.
Dr. Shen Xifei desperately clenched her hands to hold back tears. Speaking of the grandfather who saved her, all the doctors at the scene also determined after consultation that it was intra-abdominal bleeding.
These patients with visceral bleeding must be sent to large hospitals for exploratory surgery as soon as possible. Even if surgery is not performed in time, such injured patients need support from whole blood and other blood products, which is not available on site.
When will the fastest ambulance arrive? A group of doctors once again questioned village officials and other insiders.
Dr. Tse Wanying was right in predicting that the injured would need to be kept alive for at least twenty-four hours.
I have been urging again and again. The fastest it will take is twenty-four hours, tomorrow evening.
Considering that transporting the injured on a stretcher cannot effectively shorten the transportation time and there are many dangers on the road, it is faster and more efficient than waiting for the road to open to traffic. The doctor's advice is that all injured people wait patiently for the car to arrive before being sent to the hospital.
As mentioned before, the doctor’s suggestions are only medical reference opinions, and the decision-making power lies in the hands of the injured and their families.
There are family members of the injured who really can't hold it in anymore. They are getting stretchers to carry the patients away. They would rather take a gamble than wait here to die.
The doctor couldn't stop him because he knew that there would be too many ambulances in the early stage. As in the cases mentioned many times before, some people must be slow and others fast, which means who will give up their lives.
“Doctor Tong, Dr. Jiang and the others don’t know what’s going on.” Professor Pei sighed.
Village cadres said they would send people to find the village chief and Dr. Tong.
Speaking of the village chief, he was originally leading the way for Dr. Xiao Yang and the others, but he took a step ahead when he was brought to the destination, but he disappeared.
Many times, people are not as good as God.
Thank you for your support, good night, dear friends~
