Three nurses sat in a row. There were hemostatic forceps, scissors, iodine, alcohol-based blood bags, cotton swabs, disposable gloves, and other items on the small table in front of them.
The crew of the supply ship lined up in groups of three and came to the door from the other end of the tunnel.
"Are you Wang Yun?" The young nurse verified his identity and looked at the blood bags and sample tubes. She asked, "Have you donated blood before?"
"You mean like donating blood for free? No. "Wang Yun shook his head.
The young nurse raised her head and asked, "Then, have you donated blood for free?"
"No," Wang Yun said with a calm expression, "If we're talking about compulsory blood donation, this is the third time."
The young nurse came to a sudden realization.
The crew member sitting next to him smiled. "It's my fourth time. On average, I get one every two years."
"On average, I get one every one and a half years."
"When you work for a few more years, it'll only be two years."
"Our team has more missions than yours."
"We have fewer people in our team."
"Our … blood is thicker!"
…..
"After donating blood, please sit for ten minutes before you leave," the young nurse said in a gentle tone.
The rough-looking men in the queue nodded and went back to the ship with their blood donation certificates. It was as if they had been ordered by a dog just now.
The five members of the rescue team followed them to the ship. They asked to have their blood collected, but Lin Honghou rejected them without hesitation.
The five members of the rescue team were the first batch to enter the scene. Up until now, they had been working for more than twenty-four hours, and they were already overwhelmed.
There was no suitable resting environment on the hospital ship. Hence, even if they wanted to wait for a change of shifts, the command center did not agree to it. Hence, they could only leave regretfully and rejoice.
"It's a good thing to be able to go back in one piece. Be happy." The crew of the supply ship greeted them in a different way.
The men in the rescue team just sat on the deck in silence.
"You just need to complete your mission. Don't think too much. Look at us. We didn't even go to the scene. We left as soon as we came, and we're still proud when we go back." The chief officer of the supply ship comforted them. Apart from transporting supplies, they were actually transporting people as well. If they were on the supply ship two shifts earlier, they might have to send people to the scene as well.
Hence, the chief officer of the supply ship understood the men in the rescue team. He even admired them a little.
The five members of the rescue team remained silent.
The chief officer said a few more words and went back to work. It was not until the boat was about to depart that the five members of the rescue team stood up and saluted in the direction of the scene.
The chief officer sighed and waited for them to finish saluting before asking, "I heard that it's quite difficult to be on site?"
"Both ships are stranded and sunk. There are people trapped inside." The leader of the rescue team finally said something. "We are familiar with the scene and have experience. We should be the ones to go up."
"We have to give the people behind us a chance to make a contribution. Just kidding. " The first mate laughed foolishly and looked at the other four people. He tried to curry favor with them and said, "We just sent eight members of the rescue team over. They're all quite capable and talkative."
The leader of the rescue team nodded slowly. "Our team also has eight people."
"Then …" The first mate suddenly stopped. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
"They're all injured. They've been sent to the medical ship." The leader of the rescue team suddenly laughed for no reason. "Two of them are quite lightly injured. Only one of them is seriously injured. I heard that the surgery was quite successful."
The first mate did not know how to continue the conversation. He thought for a while and said, "God helps the worthy. The surgery will definitely be successful."
"It should be. The surgery will definitely be successful. "The team member who spoke was not the only one who said this. The other team members who remained silent also repeated this sentence.
…..
"The surgery will definitely be successful. Once it's done, we'll send them back." Huo Congjun held the microphone in his hand. His tone was calm and serious. He almost slapped his chest to prove himself.
After the two-minute-long satellite phone call ended, Huo Congjun returned to the operating theater. He looked at Ling Ran and asked, "Is it successful?"
"It's successful." Ling Ran was still suturing the blood vessels, but he was in a good mood.
When the deputy captain of the rescue team was sent over, his abdominal cavity was already a mess.
It was a very hard and long job to reconnect all the messy blood vessels and make them function again. Most of the time, Ling Ran even had to give up some blood vessels to obtain enough blood vessel materials to repair the more important blood vessels.
If this were a hospital on land, the preoperative discussion for such a surgery would take a few hours. It might even take dozens of hours before the surgery could be carried out.
This was because doctors not only had to suture the blood vessels, but they also had to make a judgment on the value of the blood vessels.
Everyone knew that arteries and large veins were very important. But aside from these two main blood vessels, there were tens of thousands of blood vessels in the human body. Although it was not necessary to suture all the blood vessels, it was also necessary to suture the important blood vessels and make a ranking of the blood vessels.
In the hospital, this work alone would take up a lot of doctors' time.
Besides, determining which blood vessel was which was what made the clinicians dumbfounded. To complete this task, they first had to be very familiar with the anatomical structure of the abdominal cavity. Then, they could look for blood vessels and classify them …
Ling Ran did not have the time nor a team to do such things in the Emergency Department. So, he could only make decisions on the spot.
This kind of surgery was actually beyond Huo Congjun's level of understanding.
However, Department Director Huo did not intend to understand. It was enough for him to walk into the operating theater and confirm that the surgery was carried out smoothly and successfully.
After being the department director of the Emergency Medical Center for so long, Huo Congjun gradually stopped pursuing completing medical work by himself.
"If it goes well, finish it as soon as possible and continue … Hmm, Ling Ran, can you still perform surgery?" Huo Congjun was halfway through his sentence, and he was worried about Ling Ran again.
Ling Ran moved his shoulder and said, "I think I need to rest for one or two hours, and then I can continue with the surgery."
"It's okay to rest a little longer. Qi Zhenhai and the others have just arrived, but they are still quite energetic. They may need to send specialists over later." Huo Congjun's tone was quite relaxed. Up until now, there had been no cases of patients dying in the hospital ship. For a manager, this was very rare.
Ling Ran only nodded and continued to suture.
After a while, Zuo Cidian also ran over to see the situation.
Ling Ran did not hesitate to replace Lu Wenbin with Zuo Cidian. After fifteen minutes, Ling Ran even put down the needle holder in his hand and asked Zuo Cidian, "Do you want to perform abdominal closure on the deputy captain?"
"Oh … Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Zuo Cidian was extremely excited.
