BXBX NOVEL Chapter 675 - What Was Intervention
Chapter 675: What Was Intervention
The sky gradually darkened.
After the rain passed, the hateful little bugs flew out.
They did not know why there were so many flying mosquitoes and little bugs. Not only were the buzzing sounds annoying, but their exposed skin had been bitten countless times.
Zheng Ren and the others had climbed over the mountains and were exhausted.
It was easy to carry a stretcher up the mountain but the mountain path was too rugged and steep. In addition, it was extremely slippery. It basically required seven or eight people to barely carry people up.
To be able to walk out of the mountain area safely and come to the plains was already a blessing.
A platoon of PLA soldiers was exhausted. Su Yun did not say a word. His face was deathly pale. Even the idiot Zheng Ren was exhausted. He just wanted to quickly find a place to rest.
There was an aftershock on the road. In order to protect the stretcher, Zheng Ren’s chest wall hit a mountain rock. His left, fifth rib was fractured. Yes, he diagnosed it himself but did not tell anyone. As for the bruise on his face and the swelling at the corners of his eyes, these were all trivial matters.
He wanted to sleep and have a good night’s rest. But for now, he could not.
Although the urgency of the patient on the stretcher wasn’t high enough to board a helicopter, it would still be considered a Grade-S critical illness if they were placed in Sea City General Hospital’s emergency department.
For example, the patient who had suffered a severe pelvic fracture treated by Zheng Ren with an embolization technique. Although the abdominal bleeding had been alleviated, Zheng Ren had no way to solve the hemorrhagic shock. The only thing he could do was to quickly bring the patient to Pengxi Village to receive the next step of treatment.
After they descended the mountain, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, they did not have time to rest as they headed toward Pengxi Village.
Su Yun, who was usually a chatterbox, did not utter a single word. He silently carried the stretcher and panted heavily as he walked forward.
After descending the mountain, a sentry soon discovered that there were people returning from the front.
Several ambulances drove over. Looking at the license plates, they came from all over the world.
After sending the patient into the ambulance, Zheng Ren heaved a sigh of relief.
There was no equipment on the ambulance to test blood type. That kind of simple equipment could not determine RH type, so it was fine even if they couldn’t. If it was really dangerous, Type-O blood could also be transfused. However, the amount of blood transfused could not be very large as it would cause a serious reaction.
In front of them was Pengxi Village. It was said that there was as much blood plasma as needed.
The patient was carried into the ambulance. Zheng Ren and Su Yun performed a deep vein puncture on the patient. Seeing the flowing liquid enter, their hearts felt much more at ease.
Su Yun’s hand gripped tightly onto his clothes. He could not help but tremble slightly for Zheng Ren to notice.
“I’m so tired,” Su Yun said. “I’d rather perform surgery for ten days than carry someone over a mountain.”
“I’ll do it then.” After Zheng Ren said that, he closed his eyes and began to recuperate.
“Boss, are you really going to perform only interventional surgery when you arrive at Pengxi Village?” Su Yun asked.
“Yes,” Zheng Ren said. “There are too many injured people so I can’t perform any surgery. Interventional surgery is my specialty so it’s better for me to do it on my own.”
“I really want to take down all the surgeries and scare the socks off everyone.” Su Yun was a little regretful.
“Don’t talk nonsense. This is disaster relief, not a demonstration of surgical skills.”
“Don’t say that, Boss.” Su Yun only nagged. He was not the kind of person who did not know the gravity of the situation. It was just that his words did not sound good.
When he heard Zheng Ren say that, he suddenly remembered something. He smiled and said, “In the Imperial Capital, didn’t we switch positions when there was a tremor? Your hands were working at full speed.”
“Yes, and then?”
“It scared Department Chief Kong. You were really f*cking fast.”
“Oh, is that so?” Zheng Ren did not feel any better and answered indifferently.
“Do you have to be so boring?” Su Yun blew at his fringe. His black hair was wet on his forehead, so it didn’t move at all.
There were times when handsome people couldn’t act handsome.
“If I were to work at my fastest, even you would be dumbfounded. Would you believe me?” Zheng Ren closed his eyes and said softly as if he was mumbling to himself.
“Damn... Boss, can you not use me as an example? I’m your assistant! Let me tell you, with your temper, you belong to the category of people who are bullied at work and go home to beat his wife and scold his children. I’m very sympathetic to Little Yiren’s future.”
“That won’t happen,” Zheng Ren said. “Isn’t that because your skill level is higher than theirs? Compared to others, it’s not that interesting.”
These words made Su Yun somewhat happy, but he also felt that something was wrong.
It was always that kind of complicated pleasure.
‘This guy is the best at this,’ Su Yun thought to himself.
“Brother, when did you enter the mountain?” The two of them stopped their conversation as the first-aid doctor suddenly asked that question.
“On the day of the earthquake,” Su Yun said.
“You’re so lucky. Where are you guys from?”
“We came directly from the Imperial Capital with the troops. After we got off the plane, we got on the bus and entered the mountain.”
The eyes of the first-aid doctor lit up, full of envy.
“We came late. When we received the news, the hospital had to make overall arrangements and we were delayed for half a day. There are only six ambulances in the entire county. To ensure the emergency needs of the county, we can only transfer two ambulances. Fortunately, my health is good. I pulled down a coward who cried when he got on the bus and came in a flash.” The doctor chuckled.
“What time did you arrive?”
“It was evening the next day. It was not easy to walk on the road. There were a lot of big buses.”
“Oh, they were all on the same road?” Su Yun was not stupid enough to ask if there were a lot of buses on the way. He had already made a judgment of the situation outside while he was in the mountain.
The Chinese people who usually seemed so scatterbrained in this internet era suddenly burst out with unparalleled strength after such a major event occurred.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were sincere and united.
“So many people reacted quickly. I met a convoy. Later, I heard that they actually emptied a Carrefour warehouse. The big brother who took the lead immediately brought the convoy in with supplies.”
“They reacted pretty quickly.”
“When they met us on the road, the convoy pulled over and made way for the ambulance. They honked in salute. You don’t even know that the young nurse cried when she heard the big truck honking.”
“Weren’t you crying too! Don’t think that I didn’t see it.” The young nurse who had been secretly glancing at Su Yun was unhappy and retorted in a fierce manner.
If it were not for the fact that she had to act like a lady in front of Su Yun and that there were still patients in the ambulance... She would probably have slapped him across the face.
The doctor from the first-aid ambulance chuckled and said, “Gentlemen, what’s the situation inside? Is there a shortage of people?”
Su Yun briefly described the situation inside to him and the young nurse cried again.
It was not that she was easily emotional but even when Su Yun recalled the story, he still felt as if sand had entered his eyes.
Those who had experienced it firsthand would feel the same when they thought back, not to mention those who were waiting outside and could not enter no matter what.
“How’s the medical equipment in Pengxi Village?” Zheng Ren suddenly asked.
“Basically, we have everything we need. There are ten operating theaters, and aseptic bags are piled up like a small mountain. They were all pulled out from the factory and sent to Pengxi Village for disinfection. It’s still warm when you touch it.”
“Has any interventional surgery been done in the operating theatres?”
“What is interventional surgery?”
