Chapter 48: Emergency Rescue Operations
Zhang Shu, forty-six years old, was a skilled emergency internal medicine physician, adept at diagnosing internal medicine diseases and with a profound understanding of clinical poisoning manifestations, serving as a mainstay in the emergency department.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Shu’s heart lurched instantly, Poisoning!
Chemical!
Poisoning!
Blindness!
When these words were linked together, it meant that this incident was not going to be simple.
The most common three types of chemical element poisoning are: mercury poisoning, hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and methanol poisoning!
Each one worse than the last.
Suddenly, the internal and surgical emergency departments were a flurry of activity!
Internal medicine was preparing antidotes!
Surgery was preparing for suturing and hemostasis!
Everyone plunged into urgent preparations.
How many people were injured, nobody had any idea!
Everyone was anxiously preparing for the arrival of the patients.
The tense atmosphere and oppressive environment made everyone’s hearts
anxious.
“They’re here! They’re here!”
“Watch the door! Be careful with the door!
With the arrival of the 120 emergency service voice, all doctors and nurses
stood up to welcome them.
The stretcher was rolled out of the vehicle, lying on it a man, while some people around him were covered in wounds, trying to stop the bleeding with mere tissue paper!
The vehicle hadn’t yet come to a complete stop when the second one arrived!
One after another, many patients were brought in, most with various injuries.
Zhang Shu seeing the man lying on the stretcher, quickly said, “Take him to the resuscitation room!”
The man on the stretcher was taken away by internal medicine, while surgery received a large number of trauma patients in need of bandaging, sutures, and wound cleaning.
These people had blood on their faces, not knowing whether it was their own or someone else’s, their bodies had more or less some injuries!
Screams of pain?
Nonexistent!
Everyone was very calm, even quiet!
Because, plainly put, they were survivors, fortunate within the misfortune. At this moment, Li Baoshan rushed into the emergency department hurriedly.
He addressed everyone saying, “There are quite a few injured this time, and our senior officials have tasked our Second Provincial Hospital with undertaking a portion of the emergency rescue mission. Everyone hurry, more people are coming!”
“internal medicine Team, start checking for the cause of poisoning and begin rescue efforts immediately!”
“Surgical Team, resident physicians in charge of wound cleaning and suturing tasks, all attending physicians and personnel with higher professional titles start the immediate rescue and treatment of the severely injured patients!”
This rescue operation was no longer just the responsibility of the emergency department!
Upon receiving instructions from higher authorities, the hospital quickly established an emergency response team, and staff from all departments were drawn to assist in the rescue efforts.
A solemn and oppressive tone pervaded the entire hospital.
Everyone was assigned clear duties.
in the treatment room, Chen Cang had already grasped the significance of today’s events.
With that in mind, Chen Cang immediately activated his mission scroll! [Ding! Countdown begins, suturing task currently remaining 50, countdown: 2 hours 59 minutes…]
Chen Cang took a deep breath and methodically began cleaning wounds and suturing the patient.
The patient Chen Cang was treating was a typical example, with a roughly 9 cm long gash on his back caused by a steel plate, thankfully the wound wasn’t very deep!
What he needed now was wound cleaning and suturing.
Chen Gang’s wound cleaning and skin suturing skills were advanced, making the task smooth and efficient.
One person could very well complete the suturing, but the speed would be too slow!
The head nurse kept urging, as it seemed the number of minted was steadily increasing.
Chen Cang couldn’t worry about anything else, focusing on treating as quickly as possible.
Of course, speed did not mean low quality, Chen Cang was not only fast but also delivered high quality!
The first patient’s wound was somewhat large, Chen Cang expended some effort, but in less than ten minutes he finished and called for someone to rest outside.
No sooner had he stepped out, than another patient was brought in by a nurse.
At this moment, there was simply no one available to help Chen Cang, as all the nurses were occupied with emergency care of injured patients.
The suturing work had to be completed by a single person!
The second suturing took Chen Cang only five minutes!
By now, the waiting area was filled with people, each one dusty and disheveled, their clothes and trousers ripped, and despite bandages pressed to wounds, blood continued to ooze.
Tian Xianglan was hurriedly runningback and forth outside!
So far, they had received more than a dozen critically injured patients, and the number of ordinary trauma patients was as high as seventy or eighty!
“Everyone, please don’t worry, it will soon be your turn, please maintain order at the scene!” Tian Xianglan shouted loudly.
This won’t do!
There are too many people, we must call for reinforcements, Tian Xianglan thought, and she promptly went to the nursing department and picked up the phone to call several surgical departments like general surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, urology…
“Emergency needs a few suturing doctors, there are too many patients, I’m afraid they won’t hold up if it takes too long.
“All the doctors have been called away, the rest are the on-duty physicians!” the nurse manager on the other end also sounded helpless!
Surgeries for severely injured patients required more than just one person; they needed a team, with orthopedics, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery-all staff had been assigned duties.
Tian Xianglan was stunned, “Then…”
“Well… dispatch a few more nurses to give the doctors a hand, to help improve work efficiency.”
After hanging up the phone, Tian Xianglan waited anxiously but still had to maintain order on the scene, as well as everyone’s emotions.
At that moment, the notification sounded, “Please, patient number 5, proceed to treatment room number 1 for a dressing change.
Tian Xianglan’s eyes lit up, “Patient number 5, follow me!”
After Chen Cang changed the dressings, he clicked on the computer call button, and immediately the next patient came in, as for medical records, who had time to attend to those!
Three minutes later!
“Please patient number 6 report to treatment room number 1 for a dressing change.”
Three minutes later!
Patient number 7 to treatment room number 1…
At that time, Wang Qian in the next room also finished suturing and began calling for patients, but just as his call was heard, Chen Gang’s treatment room started calling again!
Tian Xianglan was shocked, Chen Gang’s speed was incredibly fast!
